Memoirs: "Memories of a Politician"

2011-03-03T08:02:00.000-08:00

Mark Greene will be writing his memoirs, which will be basically an autobiography of his life and his long career in politics which began in 1964, when Mark was in his 11th year. The memoir will be published on a blog, and at this point he has not decided which one it will be, or whether he will start a new one. The memoir is tentatively set to be named "Memories of a Politician." Mark will also be looking for a publisher to publish the memoir in book form as well.

MEMORIES OF A POLITICIAN

My story of how I became a politician, statesman and the builder of a party ... from Detroit, to the rural Midwest, to the U.S.M.C. and the West, and to the Pacific Northwest. [Memories of a Politician TM]

Poem by Clifford Mark Greene

In honor of the memory of Anne Frank (1929 - 1945)

The dawn of adolescent horizons,

Meets the anticipation of virtual entitlement,

At the crossroads of hope and fulfillment,

In defiance of a peer culture,

Wary of a long line of naysayers and their kinfolk,

Propelling our souls in innocence,

While defending the core of our character,

Alas, years go by, dreams fade and rejection visits as faithfully as the next horizon,

Nowhere else to go except to the sanctuary of heroes,

Comforter of the friendless, the down and out, the rejected and dejected, and dreamers,

Awaiting, yet, another sunrise.

Chairman of the Party of Commons, Mark Greene, will be writing a book or a play about his late mother, Ellen Elizabeth Greene (1933 - 2006).

Mark's writing will be about one unsung hero and an inductee in the Party of Commons's Hall of Fame earlier this year.
