About the Author Hello! My name is Richard Sanchez, author for this collection of poems. I was born and raised in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. I attended Edinburg Schools and Pan American University. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology, an Associate degree in Nursing, and a minor degree in English. I chose Nursing as a career and dabbled in Environmental Science and Marine Biology. Other than being a poet, I am also a creative writer, published author, and photographer. As mentioned in my book, I have been writing since my early high school years. However, it was not until about 2010 that I started participating in public presentations, poetry readings, publishing, and taking part in book signings, and book fairs. I also participated in several anthologies as a short story writer and poet. As for experience, I have written articles for the local newspaper, and had twenty-six stories published in the elite, Texas Trophy Hunter’s Magazine (as a guest columnist). Recent books to my credit include The Jelly Jar, The Story Teller, and a co-authored work, The Lone Sendero. I have also been instrumental in editing and ghostwriting for several of my close friends. Along the way, I realized that poetry can be used as an effective way of expression. One Day Long ago we welcomed them on the day the others came Not knowing their full purpose not knowing of their fame One day their sense of fairness for lack of better words Their countenance turned sour Their presence thinned our herds That day, the others came and fair was not their way They wanted and demanded more and more each day On the day the others came and things began to clear They took the things they wanted The things that we held dear Our people spoke in whispers the day the others came They turned our rivers crimson For this they had no shame This is the blood of your people Was all they had to say And to stop the theft, the killing, our people moved away A Reflection My soul is one, my body is one. I soaked my soul in drink And like my stone, cold heart my dark, dark soul did sink My soul is one, my body is one. They do not always blend broken mirror, broken glass twins clash in opposition My soul is one, my body is one Like the sign of the yin and yang Red wolves waiting in ambush, Watching . . . circling, glaring barefoot on crackled glass One is my soul, one is my body In the silence of my mind, the soft voice says “this too shall pass.” In time, my soul should feel. And in the place of my poor, tired heart, a stained-glass window heals. Richard Sanchez All rights reserved 1/24/2024 GET PUBLISHED!

Let's talk about something that's been on my mind for a while: reparations for Chicanos. We're not just talking about a few bucks here and there. Nah, we're talking about addressing centuries of injustice and making things right for our people. First off, let's rewind to history class. Remember learning about how Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, and parts of other states weren't just empty land waiting to be claimed? Yeah, they were our ancestral lands, inhabited by Indigenous peoples and settled by Mexicans. But then along came the U.S., with their wars and treaties, and suddenly we got stripped of our land faster than you can say "manifest destiny" The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo? Yeah, that was supposed to protect our rights and property, but it ended up being a raw deal for us. Promises broken, land stolen—sound familiar? And let's not forget about how we've been treated as a workforce. From agriculture to mining to building railroads, we've been the backbone of this country's economy for centuries. But instead of getting fair wages and decent working conditions, we've been exploited, plain and simple. Low pay, dangerous jobs, no legal protections—yeah, we've seen it all. But here's the kicker: every election cycle, politicians start fearmongering about immigration, and who do they scapegoat? You guessed it—Chicanos (or Mexicans, or Central Americans, or South Americans, or any brown person--they really don't care about making distinctions). Suddenly, we're criminals, we're stealing jobs, we're a threat to national security. It's like clockwork, and it's getting old real fast. So, why reparations? Because it's time to set things right. It's not just about the money (although that would definitely help). It's about acknowledging the wrongs that have been done to us, and making amends. It's about recognizing our contributions to this country and giving us the respect we deserve. Reparations are about more than just writing a check. They're about justice, plain and simple. It's about holding the powers that be accountable for the harm they've caused and taking steps to make things right. And yeah, it's long overdue. So, let's stop beating around the bush and start talking about real solutions. Reparations for Chicanos—it's time to make it happen. About the Author

(The views and opinions expressed by guest bloggers are not necessarily those of The Raving Press, TRiP Wire, its editors, or affiliate entities.) It's election season, and you know what that means...all out reversal of our social standards in service of political pursuits. Critiques of President Biden's age have sparked important discussions around ageism and its potential to become a slippery slope toward problematic societal issues such gender equality, and racial biases. While it's essential to examine the dynamics of ageism in political discourse, it's equally crucial to dissect the broader implications of such criticisms and their potential alignment with regressive attitudes towards gender, race, and minority groups. First off, let's address the criticism of President Biden's age. It's undeniable that ageism exists in various facets of society, including politics. Critics often cite Biden's advanced age as a concern regarding his ability to effectively lead the nation, make sound decisions, and keep up with the demands of the presidency. However, it's essential to distinguish between legitimate concerns about a leader's capacity and unjustified biases based solely on age. Critiquing Biden's age should not automatically equate to ageism. It's reasonable to scrutinize any leader's competency, regardless of their age. However, the manner in which these critiques are framed and the underlying assumptions they carry can perpetuate ageist stereotypes. Rather than solely focusing on age, discussions should center on a leader's policies, actions, and vision for the future. Now, let's delve into the broader implications of ageism and its intersectionality with other forms of discrimination, such as sexism and racism. Criticisms of Biden's age can intersect with antiquated beliefs about gender and race, leading to harmful stereotypes and biases. For instance, reverting to old-fashioned thinking about women being the weaker sex can manifest in subtle ways when critiquing Vice President Kamala Harris, who holds a prominent position in the Biden administration. Dismissing her leadership capabilities or subjecting her to harsher scrutiny based on gender stereotypes undermines the progress towards gender equality. Similarly, questioning the intelligence or competency of minorities within the administration echoes historical prejudices that have long perpetuated systemic inequalities. It's imperative to recognize and challenge these biases to foster a more inclusive and equitable society. It's easy to see where these criticisms usually stem from. There are two prominent political forces in our country. One tends to side with inclusion, sensitivity towards others' "differentness," and equality. They may not always achieve these goals, but at least these are targets that they aim for. While on the other side of the political spectrum, there seems to be a push toward returning society toward the ways of the past, when people weren't so damn sensitive about being made to feel shame for simply being themselves. The strange and unexpected point of convergence can be seen in what is happening today with seemingly both sides piling on Biden regarding his age. Is he old? Sure. Does he makes plenty of old, grandpa gaffes? Of course--'cuz he's old! But has he shown seriously concerning behavior that implicates a complete dysfunctionality? Nope. And yet even progressive outlets are trashing the guy because of his age. It seems clear that a reason that the two opposing political forces are converging on this one point of criticism of the current president is because it serves as a convenient tool to attempt to dislodge him as the candidate to take on Trump. But in joining in this political tactic, progressives might be helping to undo what has taken generations to achieve: a culture that seems to be inching closer to the acceptance of people on the content of their character and not the characteristics of their skin. Be it the skin of a person of color, that of a woman, or that of an senior citizen. Critiquing President Biden's age should prompt us to reflect on broader issues of ageism, sexism, and racism within our society. While it's essential to hold leaders accountable, criticisms must be rooted in substantive concerns rather than perpetuating stereotypes or biases. By challenging ageist attitudes and promoting inclusivity, we can move towards a more progressive and equitable future for all. About the Author

A Satirical Guide to Surviving the Fascist Anti-Democratic Apocalypse by Alex Christoph Hey there, survivors of the impending democracy demolition derby! As we buckle up for a wild ride into the dystopian unknown, here are some tips to help you not only survive but maybe thrive in this fascistic world. 1. Fashion Faux Pas or Freedom Chic? Ditch those democracy-loving slogans on your clothes. Opt for a subtler look that says, "I’m just here for the fashion, not the freedom." Camouflage patterns aren’t just for the military – they’re also for those looking to blend into the background. 2. Doublethink and Chill: Mastering the Art of Contradiction Practice your Orwellian doublespeak – say one thing, mean another. It's not lying; it's strategic communication in a world where truth is as rare as a unicorn. Remember, ignorance is strength, so stay strong and selective with your information. 3. Friend or Foe? Trust No One (Except Yourself) In the age of surveillance and suspicion, loyalty is a scarce commodity. Develop a knack for reading between the lines and questioning everyone's motives. Your best friend could be your worst enemy or vice versa, but hey, who said life in a fascist regime can’t be a thrilling guessing game? 4. DIY Thoughtcrime Detection Kit Keep an eye on your own thoughts! Construct a homemade thoughtcrime detection kit using everyday items like tin foil hats and a Magic 8-Ball for decision-making. Because nothing says survival like a dash of paranoia and a sprinkle of premonition. 5. Bootlicking Basics: Picking the Right Side When in doubt, cozy up to authority figures. Whether it's Big Brother, Supreme Leader, or Emperor Palpatine, find the top dog and wag your tail enthusiastically. Remember, survival of the sycophant is the new natural selection. 6. Creative Subversion: Rebel with a Smile Subvert the system with satire, memes, and subtle acts of rebellion. A well-placed joke can be a Trojan horse for dissent, and a clever meme might just be your ticket to the resistance party. Just make sure your laughter is louder than the footsteps of the secret police. Remember, surviving the fascistic, anti-democratic apocalypse is not just about avoiding danger but embracing the absurdity of it all. So, put on your best poker face, sharpen your wit, and let’s dance our way through the twilight of democracy with a hint of dark humor and a dash of defiance!

"Open Horizons: Reconsidering the US-Mexico Border" by Ignacio “Nacho” Martinez The US-Mexico border used to be open once a long time ago. Could we benefit from reopening it again? This issue intertwines economic, social, and security considerations. Examining the potential benefits of a more open border reveals opportunities for economic growth, strengthened relations, and enhanced security measures. Economic Ties and Opportunities: Mexico has long been a valuable partner for the United States, contributing to a robust economic exchange. The availability of a cost-effective labor force has driven growth in various sectors, from manufacturing to agriculture. Opening up the border could further amplify these economic ties, providing a boon to the retail sector, tourism, and retirement destinations. Tourism Potential along the Rio Grande: Imagine the Rio Grande river transforming into a major attraction, drawing American tourists seeking affordable accommodations, entertainment, and culinary experiences. By embracing a more open border policy, the region could become a thriving destination for boating, dining, and vacationing, injecting vitality into local economies on both sides of the divide. Local Economic Development: Beyond the natural beauty of the Rio Grande, the cities and towns along the border stretch could experience a significant influx of economic activity and development. This potential surge in commerce and infrastructure could lead to job creation and improved living standards, addressing some of the challenges faced by border communities. Mitigating Undocumented Immigration Strains: Probably the most compelling argument for an open border is the potential to alleviate the strains of undocumented immigration. By creating legal channels for migration, the United States could better manage and regulate the flow of people, fostering a more transparent and orderly immigration process. Enhancing National Security through Friendship: Maintaining a friendly relationship with immediate neighbors, such as Mexico, can serve as a strong buffer against potential terrorist threats and other bad actors, such as drug cartels and human traffickers. Cooperation and collaboration between nations can enhance intelligence-sharing and security measures, ultimately safeguarding the interests of both countries. While the idea of reopening the US-Mexico border brings forth a myriad of possibilities, it is crucial to carefully navigate the complexities involved. Striking a balance between economic benefits, enhanced tourism, local development, and national security is essential for crafting a comprehensive and sustainable border policy that serves the interests of both nations. Immigration is a difficult subject to cover but a discussion and not political speech is much more important to consider the long-term impacts and work towards solutions that foster cooperation and prosperity on both sides of the border.

However, a disturbing trend has emerged where some individuals equate these peace advocates, the war protesters, with the very entities they oppose – the war mongers. Such a comparison not only lacks logical coherence but also carries a moral weight that undermines the essence of peaceful dissent. At its core, war protesting is an expression of dissent against violence, bloodshed, and the devastating consequences that wars unleash upon humanity. It represents a collective outcry for diplomacy, dialogue, and a pursuit of alternatives to resolve disputes without resorting to armed conflicts. In contrast, war mongers actively advocate for military interventions, often fueled by aggressive nationalism, geopolitical interests, or an appetite for power. Equating those who raise their voices against war to war mongers ignores the stark differences in their motives and objectives. War protesters strive for a world where conflicts are resolved through dialogue, diplomacy, and understanding. On the other hand, war mongers pursue aggressive and militaristic policies that often result in widespread suffering and loss. This false equivalence not only distorts the narrative but also risks stifling the crucial discourse needed to foster a more peaceful world. It undermines the legitimacy of peaceful dissent, discouraging individuals from standing up against injustice and violence. In doing so, it inadvertently strengthens the positions of those who promote militarism and aggression. Moreover, such a moral misstep perpetuates a narrative that blurs the lines between right and wrong, creating confusion in the collective conscience of society. By painting war protesters with the same brush as war mongers, we risk diluting the moral imperative of striving for a more just, equitable, and peaceful world. In a democracy that values freedom of expression, equating peaceful demonstrators to war advocates not only stifles dissent but also threatens the very principles that uphold a just society. It is imperative to recognize and respect the moral high ground that war protesters occupy, acknowledging their commitment to a more compassionate, humane, and conflict-free world. In summary, the act of equating war protesters to war mongers is not only illogical but also morally reprehensible. It undermines the essence of peaceful dissent, weakens the fight against militarism, and risks perpetuating a narrative that blurs the lines between right and wrong. In a world desperate for peace, it is crucial to champion the voices that advocate for non-violence, understanding, and diplomacy. Write for the T.R.i.P. Wire!Introduction:
Publishing a book is a thrilling journey that brings an author's words to life, connecting them with readers worldwide. In this blog post, we'll explore the multifaceted world of book publishing, covering key aspects from writing your manuscript to navigating the publishing industry. 1. **Crafting Your Manuscript:** Before delving into the publishing process, ensure your manuscript is polished and refined. Take the time to edit, revise, and seek feedback from beta readers. A well-crafted manuscript forms the foundation for a successful book. 2. **Choosing the Right Publishing Path:** Authors have two primary routes: traditional publishing and self-publishing. Traditional publishing involves securing a literary agent who will pitch your manuscript to publishing houses. Self-publishing empowers authors to control the entire process, from editing to cover design, using platforms like Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP). 3. **Literary Agents and Query Letters:** If opting for traditional publishing, finding a literary agent is crucial. Craft a compelling query letter that succinctly conveys the essence of your book, enticing agents to request your full manuscript. Research agents who specialize in your genre for a better chance of success. 4. **Navigating Traditional Publishing:** If a literary agent secures a book deal with a publishing house, the publisher will handle various aspects like editing, cover design, and distribution. Authors receive advances against future royalties, and the publisher assumes the financial risk. 5. **Self-Publishing Platforms:** Self-publishing offers autonomy but requires careful planning. Platforms like KDP, IngramSpark, and others provide tools for authors to publish ebooks and print books. Pay attention to formatting, cover design, and marketing strategies to maximize your book's visibility. 6. **Building an Author Platform:** Regardless of the publishing path, establishing an author platform is crucial. Utilize social media, author websites, and newsletters to connect with your audience. A robust author platform enhances your book's marketability and paves the way for future projects. 7. **Marketing and Promotion:** Successful book publishing involves effective marketing. Put together a marketing strategy to promote your book online and in person. Leverage social media, book reviews, author events, and collaborations to increase visibility and attract readers. 8. **The Importance of Professional Editing:** Whether traditional or self-publishing, investing in professional editing is non-negotiable. Editors refine your prose, correct errors, and ensure your book meets industry standards. A well-edited book significantly enhances its reception. 9. **Understanding Royalties and Contracts:** For traditionally published authors, understanding royalty structures and contract terms is vital. Seek legal advice if necessary to ensure you are making informed decisions about your intellectual property. Conclusion: Embarking on the journey of publishing a book requires dedication, persistence, and strategic planning. Whether choosing traditional publishing or embracing the world of self-publishing, authors must navigate each step with care. Remember, the publishing landscape is ever-evolving, so staying informed about industry trends is key to a successful and fulfilling publishing experience. The long wait is over!
