From scratching a living,
mighty civilisations rose.
The first idiot
to get on the back of a horse knows
more than all
the philosophers pontificating.
The stupid step forward
while everyone else is waiting.
Thankfully,
the smartest could never persuade
the foolish from all
the bad decisions they made.

By Poet: "Words are very cheap. Actions are worth their weight in gold. Look for actions, Not words."
I have a great friend,
she tells the truth and will never bend.
We love going out,
shopping and eating makes for a magical day.
I help her then she helps me,
that is the way friendship should be.
She called me sister,
what an honor that was.
Then one very sad day,
I had an epiphany.
She was filled with lies,
I had been deceived.
God acts
Man reacts
Action unites
Reaction divides
Action explains
Reaction complains
Action amends
Reaction offends
Action reflects
Reaction regrets
Action is effort
Reaction is comfort
The beautiful impossible motion,
can we see, feel, touch motion?
No,
we see, feel, touch the results of motion.
Motion stands still,
until we use it.
We humans have no motion until we move,
walking, running, or maybe dancing.
Even weather has no motion,
until it speaks.
The winds blow with motion,
we then see the leaves move.
Everything starts out with no motion,
moving gives motion to the movement.
We can not see, feel or touch motion,
yet we can see, feel, touch motion in action.
What a wonderful impossible thing motion has been.

The moment begins,
and every face ahead
leaves a trace unseen.
The silent exchanges gather
within the fragile self.
With every passing glance,
a slight shift settles.
A mind that reflects
unnoticed impressions
moves toward a thought
it believes its own.
Light does not return untouched
some parts always stay,
absorbed without notice.
Behind each decision
a thousand quiet influences wait,
aligning the final step
I was bullied going through life as a kid
I know what it means
People can be cruel and mean
It doesn’t mean I have to settle
For years I was tormented
Called names beyond my own
Fighting being for survival
I know it doesn’t sound noble
Action Jackson mind spirit
I keep trying to surface within my own abilities to conquer
I had to keep trying to defend
Anybody that will attempt to bully me will get a surprise they weren’t expecting
Revenge all out
Desperation to bully ending
No longer will I take
That was a mistake
The action begins
It’s where bullying me will end.
Lost years of youth playing under street lights
The jaguar, and the snail '
Rely both, on a head
And tail.'
Are standing in oppression, standing mind you.' Despite satanic agression, and we are
Having trouble..? With predators of kids, we must wake to, the solution To both attacks, strong prayer and faith we must give, as an offering to God who sees who is weak or strong.' In the way we provide for or fellow humans.' I say the way is neither ( too hard ) nor too long.' Call on the
Lord, get active too..Email create raise an
Eyebrow of two, or even some millons' in
Prayers if you might.? Call on Jesus, its time to address; of both plights.)
Don't leave lovers to tomorrow
Let these moments speak of your affection
Your wish to show until you visit avocado
May be too late an amelioration

Un-leashing the sword; sore.'
Real truth is contagious.' Rainforest girl 'you never bore' we all once
Were kids.' Yet now adults

I am a fancy talker
I could talk and make you feel good
Mind you I am not a motivational speaker
But can galvanize you into action
In both negative and positive ways
I could talk you into a world
That only exist in the imagination
I could talk and you feel your Situation change instantaneously
I could talk you into a decision
That you will regret all your life
I could also talk you smoothly into your breakthrough
Therefore eat with me armed with a long spoon
And be weary of me when I talk to you
And choose wisely so that you can live
I mean live life in abundance!
Negate the real suffering..Don't go to wars
Just stand together, and shut a few doors
Be ladies and gentlemen, time to show the
Blood lusting elites.? We are versatile and
Erstwhile..And we can think on our feet
Shake their foundations, while making a brew.' It can be ha,ha to their antic's let them panic..Take hold of your future thats
What you'll do.'
