By Trey Pollard
U.S. Sen. Barack Obama: Getty Images PhotoOn Monday, U.S. Sen. Barack Obama will appear in the same venue where his opponent for the Democratic Party presidential nomination, U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton, spoke Friday evening.
Obama's campaign confirmed today the Obama would appear Monday night at the Kentucky International Convention Center in Louisville. The event is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m., but doors open at 5 p.m.
During Friday's Kentucky Democratic Party fundraiser, former state party chairman Terry McBrayer, a Clinton supporter, criticized Obama for not being on the ground in Kentucky, joking that he's "personally contracted with Dean’s milk company and we are putting Obama’s picture on a carton of milk."
Monday's event is free, but the Obama camp says attendees are encouraged to RSVP for the event via the candidate's webpage.
Finally, Obama is expected to stay in the Commonwealth on Tuesday, with details expected to be confirmed soon.

Voices
When many voices cry out;
Let them not be forgotten.
If you see the writing on the wall;
Let them not be forgotten.
You that hears and says nothing;
Let them not be forgotten.
Less you miss the teachings of the future.

Your Needs
"Your Needs" (Digital Camera) By Floyd Patrick(Photographer/ Poet)
Your Needs
You that mock me;
Spoke in tongues not known to me.
You that watched me carry a heavy load when part of it was yours and others.
You that saw me sweat.
It was all me.
Now I watch you. 09/05/2001
Yes We Can America.

Wonder
"Wonder" (Digital Camera) By Floyd Patrick(Photographer/ Poet)
Wonder
You that wonders;
Always going somewhere
Sometimes oblivious of the goings on of others
Doing your own thing in your environment
I sometimes wonder who you answer to
It seems you please yourself and maintain an air of invincibility
And yet very gracious and smooth
Yes, I admire you and all your mysteries. 18/05/2001
Yes We Can America.

The Fruit
As I sit here eating this rather delicious fruit with it's tropical flavour;
One can not help but feel Yes
This fruit, this produce, this banana grown by the Caribbean continent in great hardship with expectations of fair play.
But No.
This Fruit, and others like, are used to suppress, to slow down,
sometimes even to break a nation,
A continent; A people.
So I eat you knowing your worth. 06/06/2001

This Day
"This Day" (Digital Camera) By Floyd Patrick(Photographer/ Poet)
This Day
A day for all to search their conscience;
To decide whether they want social justice for all.
Starting from the bottom.
To raise heads and dreams.
A day which many have paid the ultimate price for.
So it is,
I shall make my mark for all the hopes and dreams of the young and old
And maybe somewhere along the line
I shall rejoice in their future. 07/06/2001
Yes We Can America.

The Vanity
"The Vanity" (Digital Camera) By Floyd Patrick(Photographer/ Poet)
The Vanity
How often we seek to have the latest items?
The most fashionable garments that complement the shape and structure of our body
With a hint of desire in our expression. What a price?
What heart ache?
What expense?
What a waste of time?
As we are all born naked with no positions what so ever.
What is inside and the body to carry us and yet everybody is loved unconditionally.
Be true to yourself.
