I should now know
but I dont;
should be told
but it wont.
Appear !
Water damn the river streets.
Flood a drought release the weaks.
Time to a timeless
Test a rise.
Remarkable size
geist mismanage relied.
Despise !
Seep through!
Pore space
. Air exchange claim
cause to the angered one.
Poor Pace !
Dig in a NEW ! dry matte' ...
The surface can suffer trust
brown dust and the evanescence.

99
I see it.
Flashes of fate
Blind my eyes,
It does no use to
Run,
Final Destination has begun.
What your are about to do
Is already etched in stone
At the top of mount Czion
in the form of a poem.
Serenade Society
Use your weapon
that is verse.
Engage Emotion
unlock emerge.
Burst out the seams
Look in search for the truth
Join the forces of your team
Shed the mindset of youth.
Question power as power
humble habits of a pauper
that image made her
That image cannot stop her.
Minerva
Serving justice,
Goddess
for which we stand
Listen to the callings
and whisper of our demands.

The Day After...
Part of the Union. We pledge as Americans. 1850. What you accept as your own involves a storied tradition beyond our present day. California, haven and final frontier for "lost civilizations". Home to countless triblets (Chumash, Maidu, Tongva) lost. Conquering expansion into new worlds; Spanish tradition set foot upon San Diego Alta California portuguese navigator Juan Rodriguez CABRILLO in 1542. A reign begun in time coincides with Columbus' voyages. In 1492, Spain was a affluent power nation which waged religious war with Mauritania, in an 800 year old indifference. The unfortunate evolution pit Mohammed against a Christian son. The last battle was fought in Granada against Muslim ruler Boabdil. The outcome set into motion years of exploration and across the Atlantic ocean. Island Hispanola, Caribbean seas and by 1519, confronted with a prosperous civilization on the Mexican Mainland. Boasting in a spanish concept of romance and chivalrous acts the long route into the Pacific Ocean would be an opportunity for the Monarchy to convert indigenous people. Queen Isabela of Castilla, Fernando of Aragon. 7 Kingdoms of Spain in its Golden Age. Conquering foreign lands, enslaving people in the name of the church, and establishing new trade routes were noble causes. It was Hernan Cortes who discovered Mexico in 1519, executed and enslaved ancient MezoAmerica, bringing converts to church. Spaniards revered conquistadores and Romantic acts of chivalry often wrote in books by Garci Rodriguez de Montalvo. His 1510 novel paved Spain literature to flourish through the 1605 classic Don Quixote.
Books were the catalyst which created the "Accepted Conquest". Methods in place to covert neophytes, or natives toward christianity.
In 1771 the 4th mission in the 21 California Mission System was established in the San Gabriel Valley. Until as late as 1834 when the Missions were secularized.

Beginning in a Book
The word "California" was used in a popular 16th century series of books written by Garci Rodriguez de Montalvo. The Spanish author wrote Las Sergas de Esplandian in 1510, continuing from his 4 part 1508 classic, Amadis de Gaula.
The 5th book in the series, Las Sergas, or, "The Deeds of Esplandian", chronicles the exploits of Esplandian, son of the original hero, Amadis from Gaul. In the continuation, Eplandian describes the seige of Constantinople,where among his allies were the Californians, a race of black Amazonians ruled by Queen Calafia. The island of California had steep cliffs and rocky shores, there was a great rouggedness to the country. no metal ore less than Gold on the land. The Queens women had strong hardy bodies,were ardent in courage and great force. Scantly clad and commandering, they rode griffins, murdered men, and fought with Gold armory.
The16th century held Spanish, Porteguese, French, English, and Russian explorers to sail New World oceans blue.

One by One...OUR crew grew
Time of my life
Fed up, got up
up and left the nest,
Could not live another day
Labeled as the rest.
The test is his story,
met into unto an underground industry
leaning on the streets as a vagabond
Handling mine,
Poised and polished as a leader let my eloquence shine.
One by one the crew grew
First one, then few, and now YOU.
Put our heads together
Pro-Cali activist letter
Rac up, struggle, and succeed
To make the “31” better.
DoWe
have the need...
Do I see a campaign?
finish the games that cause pain
want to succeed?
Launch a new campaign
31 the hub
taught newborn cubs
Patience, toward an inevitability
patterned centuries before us.
patience unbeknown to most on the west coast.
We can
Forsee the tides turning.
Calling all cawps,
there is a fire burning.
