Who Are You? Poetry for discovery.

By Oscar -Oz Benson

When we are young we often know not who we are nor for sure where in life we will end up. Children never consider this question and most adults too have never considered it really. When people do begin to consider this is when they are planning for college. Most are jolted to this reality when they interview for their first job.
There was a lady who studied people and found that the greatest regret that most have before they leave this world is that they worried too much about jobs and money and didn’t spend enough quality time with friends and especially family.
One of the most important things about being a human is time. We are only given so much and then it is up. So, I say search yourself and know yourself and be true to yourself and then you will have fewer regrets and greater happiness in this pass we are going through.
As I was going through a terrible time in my life at 40, I finally found time and was forced to begin to look at who I was and had become. I then began to carefully look through the pages of my life that I had written by my own hand. It was then that I decided to do differently for my future. I made some very conscious changes. I realized that I had not respected people enough nor myself. I have since continued to make changes. I drop those things that do not contribute to my future and take up those things that will benefit me and those around me in my future. Today I can tell any one who I am. I have become happy with who I am and want to be.
My purpose in life I know now is to help the whole of humanity to come together in a loving and moving way in order to help us all to save our little planet that we share habitation upon. I will continue to write and speak and teach about the importance of how and why we live here on our green and blue earth.

Basically I have been a traveling poet and writer for most of my life since about 15 or so. I published my first book of poems entitled 'Who Are You?' in 2002. I wrote a children's book entitled, Brother Bear and I about the same time in 2003. To date I have published also a book on Chongqing as well as one on investing in the stock markets. In the future I will publish a humorous book entitled 'The Mystery of Medicine and How to Escape From It'. I have lived in many places in America, Mexico, Philippines and China. I have found that following the yellow brick road will lead you to the truth. What you do with the truth will change your life. Change is what the earth needs now. No MORE WAR !! Just as Orson Wells said 'war is peace', you always hear this from the US gov. But it is not true. War doesn't bring peace nor safety. War destroys those who would maintain their freedoms mostly. We have allowed the International Banking system and others to become too powerful and now we must rethink our existence in order to safeguard the future. We must vote with our money and our purchases. It has come to me as I have traveled that there is and has always been more than enough of every thing on this earth for all of us. I have walked the deserts of North America and the Washington Rain Forrest as well. I have gone down the Amazon in South America by boat and walked in its midst. I have visited the most crowded cities of the world, Mexico City, Mexico and Chongqing China. We all over the world in every school have been denied even the knowledge of how much there is and how we can protect it. There is a light which was produced by Edison and is still burning now over 100 years. When we build things that last such as this then our resources too will last and our earth will sustain its health and balance. There is renewable energy that can be produced in each and every home that is clean and only has the initial cost of construction. This was released world wide by a group called HopeGirl on project Avalon Forum. This business of letting the corporations run governments and politicians with their greedy ways for profit and only offering us outdated technologies in cars and energy only will eventually destroy our green and blue world. We need to all band together demanding change, seeking and teaching the ways to love our earth and care for it and for sure we need to take the care of it out of the hands of the monopolies that are indeed trying to destroy her. We no longer should allow them to harm her and go unpunished. People are not evil but monopolies run by evil profiteers are. I have attained a variety of experiences over the years. I began to work at about 9 years of age working with my brother in our family tomato selling business and then did many other things over the years. I have owned my own construction firm and done well in sales at times and marketing of many different products. I have been a licensed insurance producer and stock vendor. I served both in the Navy and National Guard. Over the last 20+ years I have studied nutrition and history extensively. I did special studies in religions and politics as well as economics. Not only have I studied these things but have also put lots of these studies to practical uses as well. Presently I am a professor of English in Chongqing University in China. I enjoy providing healthy foods to my family and friends and helping others to find a healthy way of life in counseling. Please don't hesitate to leave me a note on my website or drop me a line if you would like to discuss what I have put into my books. You my readers are greatly appreciated. Thanks, Please post a review of what you read. I appreciate it greatly. Oscar -Oz Benson
