Who came to America Part_1 of 5

1_Adventurers

These people came because they had everything in their old homes, but they wanted something new to try out were scientists, philosophers, spiritually enlightened.

In England they tried to do different types of work, but were limited. So they came to America looking for more freedom to experiment and experience new things and create a different community with which to interact and to live in harmony. Even when they did not know where they were going or what they would face in their new environment, they continued just the same and came to America.  Even in their new place they were not looking for comfort or convenience, but they wanted to have the freedom to think , act, and create new society.

Example: My father wanted me to go with the family to Africa to start a new business venture doing automobile parts manufacturing. However, I wanted to study in America. So I made arrangements to borrow money from my friends in America to pay for my education studying computer science. The condition was that I must pay them interest or I would not take the loan.

I began my studies in computer science at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. I completed the course in only nine months. Subsequently, I moved to Chicago to try out what I had learned. It was in Chicago that I met Mr. Kelly. Because of the slowdown in the space program and the returning Vietnam Vets, work was hard to find. I had been looking for work in any company that had any use for computer experts. After we had discussed my options, he invited me to go into the computer hearing aid service with him. He asked me how much I wanted in salary and I said, “I need bread and butter.” The agreement was signed. We worked together for four to six months. Then we found out, due to my Indian accent that the customers had difficulty understanding me because they were also senior citizens who were hard of hearing. So Mr. Kelly and I agreed to not go in the business after all. We decided I should find a new source of income.

The innocent By Jack G. McAllister

Over a time of  two weeks or more he was often seen

pacing the gravel shoulder of the road.

Highway 210, just east of the airport.

Sauntering stiff legged in shiny black garb,

eyes to the ground.

A dignified, though comical sight,

 measuring and checking his claim of land.

A crow alone, a lone crow

that did not fly when cars went by.

I  kept watch for this comedian,

this stand-up guy who made me smile

on days when I had no reason to.

I worried for his welfare and

felt deprived when he wasn’t there

walking his walk

Traffic is thick on  Hwy 210, and so

I expected to hear that others had noticed

this vaudeville  crow,

the one that didn’t fly when cars went by.

“Have you noticed that comical crow

near the airport on Hwy. 210?”

“No, I don’t pay much attention to crows”

“A comical crow? no big deal“.

Driving west one day, out of the corner of my eye

I noticed a dark shape in the gravel

on the opposite shoulder of the road

in the place where the walking crow

had kept his vigil.

Thought to myself “ better check that out

on my way back home.”

And so, after turning around

when my errands were done,

I drove home slower than usual,

watching for what I didn’t want to see.

When I came to the place,

the place of the shape,

my fears were confirmed.

It was a dead crow.

You don’t often see a crow that

has been killed by a car.

Crows are vigilant, quick to fly

when a vehicle approaches.

A crow that stood his ground

on a roadside or pavement ,

a crow that trusted those whizzing humans,

would be an easy target

for a steered wheel.

A tire carved arc in the otherwise undisturbed gravel

showed that my crow,

perhaps trusting, maybe retarded,

had been the bulls-eye in some ones gallery.

Posed lifeless for all to see,

a trophy mounted in the dirt.

So when he; I assume it was a man, brags to his

friends and family of his valiant deed,

will they respect him more?

will it make his children wiser?

Hunting game birds is one thing,

but why do some have the urge to kill

innocent life for no purpose?

Could it be they hate the person

that they see in the mirror?

And by destroying other small lives,

they can by sacrificial increments,

kill themselves,

without shedding any of their own blood?

?
