It is so important to give our children in public schools the tools to create dreams. I think we need an Foundation, where the stars go back to school to motivate children to strive for educational goals. In a miracle could the artists of America start this foundation, where twice a tear people go to schools to show the children that we care about them. As a poet I have this illusion, but not the resources, all one can do is plant the seed. Is America worth investing in its public school children dreams.

This is a work in progress, where in a miracle we can start this FAAF idea by Christmas as a gift to our children’s dreams. The idea for the FAAF would be to have the artists, stars, teachers, and professionals spent two days a year mentoring children’s dreams in the HeArt of creative thinking and expression. While Corporate sponsorship would be only in money spent on the American dream, not a takeover, but the FAAF would be “We the people” run, where no one person can head it as a tyrant but as a gift of human compassion. I think I am here to plant the seed as a poet that without our children’s dreams we are a lost nation. The FAAF would work with public education to motivate the educational process.
Why start with Nashville, because with music, things can change. But in the Music City is a sense that struggling artists are lost and smothered in obscurity, with the venom bile that one must be a star here to survive the onslaught of continuous attacks. How many would love to once or twice a year to go to a public school to sing among those youth, “God Bless America,” and see those eyes shine from their poverty that maybe there is a God that has no color, gender, or religion in Nashville, just a God of heavenly musical beats. Will I succeed to plant this seed to spread across America that children must have hope and a reason to learn? Only if you can dream with me.
This is insane idea and I keep wanting to walk away, only to be driven further in planting the need to motivate our children or the cancer of Gaza will spread its devastation from within disintegration and economic segregation in its worst form, the destruction of the United States of America.
Why is it a work in process? Because it has so many elements that it is like a wind chime within its structure. But, I must put the seed out there, and then go back to it and eventually return to my Poetry HeArtbeats.
From the dreams of America comes the HeArt of Children
Built on the Constitutional ground of creative mind growth,
For in our youth lives our History and Heritage future culture,
As artists, teachers, motivators; we must plant those seeds.
The survival of America comes from our educational diversity,
Where we teach them about the rainbow spectrum of the universe
Painting the HeArt of their soul with open minds of challenge
To write and ride wind’s wind spirit upon their gifted potentials.
America was born upon a dream of divine Civil Liberties,
Where its Declaration of Independence must reinvent itself.
Where “We the people” declare their birthright patriotism
That no Patriot Act can nor should censor Free Will Free Speech.
The pyre of Franklin and founding fathers words must ignite
The Phoenix of the Eagle sharp razor talons of determination
That also must have hope with the spirit of the white dove of peace
Upon a love for a nation that will never divide its children with hate.
Our Politicians Intelligence cannot “Lie” in deceit prefabrications
But the honor of “Truth” to a duty to serve with such distinction
For our President has one vote of equality of pure commitment
To “We the people” that we are never again, Katrina political victims.
From Nashville musical beats must arise the champion musical talents
To reach into public schools and teach them the notes of smiles
Where they can see the star’s shine deep inside their soul’s of hope
That maybe they can learn the music of a nation so Proud and Free.
