Dear Texas, Really? You want to write civil rights, slavery, separation of church and state, and frickin' Thomas Jefferson out of our history books? Listen, I'm certain that your entire state is NOT populated by backwater hicks, as evidenced by the location of my beautiful sister and niece; so stop assuming America is full of gun-and-god-loving capitalist Neocrats. Love, This Guy. http://news.slashdot.org/story/10/05/16/211238/Texas-Schools-Board-Rewriting-US-History http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/may/16/texas-schools-rewrites-us-history http://news.slashdot.org/story/10/02/12/182223/Texas-Textbooks-Battle-Is-Actually-an-American-War

I am Michael Hyde, a.k.a.

I write poetry and science fiction, personal essays, and occasionally I blog. I am an actor, a life student, a computer geek, a supporter of knowledge, an avid coffee drinker, a guitar player, a singer/songwriter, a closet gamer, a doodler, a fan of the internet, and a poker player.

Support Poetry

As a good friend of mine once said, "Poets gotta eat too." If you like what you read, and you have a desire to show it monetarily, I would be most honored.
