Some people ask, why don't you let nature take it's course? My answer is that most of the injuries are caused by man-made objects or pets, and they are not natural.

Because of my job, people would bring a wild animal to me. I was always an outdoor person, and a couple of gentlemen at the Illinois Department of Natural Resources encouraged me to get my first permit to handle wildlife. I did it thinking I would handle a couple of birds a year.

People, like us
we feel... too deeply
consumed, in shadow
this game of chance.
Together, surviving
we unending dreamers.
People... like us.

Folks are really tired of this rabid division between Republicans and Democrats. Folks want people to come together and solve the problems and the challenges of America.

What if I, revealed these feelings
private pieces, cast… at stranger’s eyes
exposing sober thought, and truth
as sentiments, lie deep
interred, inside of me… should they come alive?

Unconsciously
to never share, that essence... safe, in mind

Restlessness wordplay, stills me
I was born… unsettled

Through my rage, of self-indulgence
all… those chosen things, I hide
deep and unexposed
stay inconsolable… within the inside
