Money isn't Everything

Money isn't worth your life, even when it looks like you really need money you dont because money doesn't bring happines, friends do if you were rich and you had a mansion with butlers and maids you wouldn't feel happy. If you dont have any friends to play with you would only have your imagination and money8 if i were rich right now i wouldnt have fun becauase then the papparazzi would try and make up stories about me. and if that isn't bad enough if i tried to make friends with someone from school they would eventually want something from me or even wprse they would make up stories about me to and then they would try to sue me for a lot of my money. so it's just a lot easier to not have a lot of money because money corrupts people and makes them do things that are not good money corrupts people to make them steal, rob, and even, murder thats why it is not good to have a lot of money to corrupt people

Walking Through Fire

I awake to see fireworks in the distance or is it just a distanced memory I see?
I see Algerian’s are selling weapons to the Sunday soldiers who are what I heard evil
The sky is red like a fire storm, from the hills soldiers come as if they were scared
My mom and I left before they got to our house we walked for miles until we rested
I awoke in the morning to ask why we left and all I hear my mother say is to carry the haversack She ignores me and we keep walking, war is afoot as if it has just spawn from hell itself
We have been walking for what seems a decade when we finally see it
The colony, we have made it to safety of the sacred soil we so call our very own state

Letter To Ruffin

Dear Ruffin,

Why did you fire at fort Sumter? Many people ask why you fired on them when they new that even if you did start a war with the first shots did you know you would lose.
Were you firing at them because you hated them or because you hated the Union and the North? Did you think you were as smart as a fox or did you think you have a horse’s sense? Why did you start the war? I am sitting here right now typing to you about the civil war and I still think that the south could have just agreed and let the slaves go free instead of having to go to war. This is all I have to say about the civil war I know they are questions but I am curious as to why you decided to fire at fort Sumter and start a war everyone knew that the north was not going to start a war with the south but ever since you fired at Fort Sumter people have been wondering as to why you did that i myself wonder as to why i have been asking these questions if you have an answer to them write me back

Sincerely, Eric
