    About this ebook

    "I am not trying to change your mind. I am exercising the right to express mine."

    A Writer's Night
    Marty Denton
    I saw the sun as it set, I saw the sun begin to rise
    Looking out the windows of these tired old writer's eyes
    Sometimes youth returns with its vigor and joy
    I feel the spring of my youth and the hopes of a young boy

    Writing through the night losing track of all time
    Totally immersed in the words that always seen to rhyme
    Pushing harder to keep up I feel the sunrises's time is near
    Completion of another song from a memory that is so dear

    Sharing all my dreams as I lean on that old trusty pen
    Smiling all the way as I remember once again
    Faces, laughter, and pure love that comes from within
    Once again I saw the sunset to where the morning always begin

      I once was a chestnut, I hung from a tree,Like all of the young, I longed to be free.One day I landed, it felt like a mile.I need not have worried, I was in Hutton soil.My work had just started, ‘twas about 1803.That’s when I knew, I’d become a tree.

      As They Ramble Through the Preamble

      Marty Denton

      As they ramble through the preamble changing the meaning to most every line

      Rights that have stood the test of time and treated us just fine

      As they ramble through the preamble with dunce hats on their heads

      We the people loses its significance with every new change that is read

      Life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness changed with a pen, the color red

      A more perfect union all of a sudden needs changing and democracy could end up dead

      Establishing justice becomes a mockery as children are taken from their homes

      Ensuring domestic tranquility while people with guns are free to roam

      They say they provide for our common defence by building a border wall

      They claim to promote the general welfare and protect us one and all

      Claiming to secure liberty to ourselves and to our posterity

      As they ramble through the preamble making the Constitution less of what it was meant to be

      The New Dawn

      Marty Denton

      Germination of the seeds of change somtimes will take a while

      It takes time for the termination of existing roots full of deceit and denial

      Sharing of the wealth will cause a new day to arise

      The evil that lurks inside the soul will be clearly seen in their eyes

      The failure of a nation to understand the correct road to take

      When the heavy burden that a horse carries causes his back to break

      Suddenly people seek other ways to save the sinking ship

      The powerful run and hide to avoid the fate of the crack of the whip

      Change will come as the seeds grow and the roots become as one

      At the core of the nation a new beginning will repair what has come undone

      As the left will take it's rightful place and once again make its place in history

      The people will be better
