The weather has turned it up a notch
43 degrees at four o'clock in the morning
It is even warm for Phoenix
That's right the city built on a cactus ball field
Just kidding of course, it was build and they did come
Droves and droves of people
Mostly people from the Chicago stock yards
It gets me to wonder why did you come out west
Your people by natural right own this land
Oh I do not care about what you called the long knives
They came they conquered, just like the old days
They were the Romans in those days
It was all west they traveled and conquered
The further west they went the less land they had to dominate
The great Atlantic started nipping at their sandeled feet
They did not want to live with the fish in the ocean
So they went on a fact finding mission to steal India
After all the Indians had riches, silks, jewelry, and precious stones
One guy got the bright idea claiming the world was round
His goal was to find a short cut to the Indians and steal there belongings
Instead he found groups of nomads living in a wilderness
He thought they were from India, hence the name Indians
The former Romans came in clusters of hundreds to the Indian world
Which leasds me to a question, if the Romans did not come and conquer
Would I have gotten to know YOU????
YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT THAT....THINGS COME AS A SURPRISE TO US AND GIVES US REASON TO CONTEMPLATE ON IFS, WHYS AND WOULDS...BUT, AT THIS TIME-RIGHT HERE AND NOW, WHERE WE ARE AND WHOM WE KNOW IS NO SURPRISE TO GOD, WE ARE JUST WHERE HE 'PLANNED'FOR US TO BE AND WE KNOW WHOM HE WANTS US TO KNOW...TOMORROW?...I HAVEN'T THE SLIGHTEST IDEA...BUT GUESS WHO DOES? THIS IS A GREAT WRITE...I LOVE SHARINGS THAT CAUSE ME TO THINK ABOUT A RESPONSE. ENJOYED AND BLESSINGS TO YOU. LOVE, JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS
Why people do what they do is beyond reason sometimes. Why build a city on a quake fault line? yet they have and it attracts more and more. The gold rush seemed to attract people who had no idea of what they were looking for, the human being has a sad enigma, follow the leader. Great read, would make a fantastic book, through in a couple of characters that knit it together, you know the place.
Take care

Tony this is truly interesting and I’m afraid
Your question may never be answer but I have
I learn a great piece of history to day about Phoenix
I visit there a while back but
The heat there was unbearable
And it possesses a beauty of its own!!
Great write!
Wishing you Peace Love and Light...Yolie

But they did come. They did conquer. It is history.

I think you should write a book, Tony. As I read this, I was searching for the rest--seeing it coming down to the last words was like walking to a funeral of a friend--it hurt. I am not a reader, yet I wanted to read more. Thanks for the work, friend....
Love, romance, innocence, intrigue, danger, and lust. Life is complicated, and love even more so. Life, and love, can be hazardous to a lady's health. Especially if she's fallen in love with a married pop star.
