Being in the shelter is not planned by anyone who enters it's doors. Lost opportunities,drugs and alcoholism,gambling bad choices. Open your eyes to the road ahead,you are at a crossroads, make the right decision for a better tomorrow, create your destiny at this road as to ensure its a smooth road when leaving. Find yourself and take the right steps to your dreams. Don't be entrapped by complicity and comfort of shelter live. Chose the road of advancement of your live on this path. Be mindful that tomorrow your destiny will be decided by today's choices.Use the resources at your disposal for it will not always embrace you walk tall and proud when you leaveDo not approve yesterday's choices that brought you here. Fight with yourself and rise out of your addictions and bad choices
Our faces glow
not with wisdom but with empty pride
when our phones perform a trick
a poem weaved in seconds
devoid of a human touch yet praised as art.
We leave the farm & our trade
To watch a match a thousand miles played.
We cheer & we bet & we shout and clap
And lose our roots within the trap.
But do we ever pause
and ask what’s slipping through the cracks?
Can we still think without a screen?
Can we stop and reflect on our tracks?
Yes, the world has surged ahead
and we with it
but what of the ills & the confusion it brings with it?
What of our glorious past
That we’ve made outdated and an outcast?
Must we always
swim with the tide
even when it pulls us
from ourselves?
Allow them respect, those who battle on.' In tents and cars
Australia you are being guided so wrong.' I presume there's
No voting facility 'for our disenfranchised?' I question the
Morality? Where is the councel of the wise? I advise intervention..We saw it before.' Camps of internment when
A health scare hit the doors.' Now such a reaction is needed in a more positive way.' Reach out..Show humanity'
Let them vote..Have their say.' Fix things at the bottom and
It'll come good..We know what our forebears beleived and
How they stood.' The spirit of Australia was forged in hard
Times..It will rise to the challenge.' All we need we will find.'
Turn to each other.' And allow some dignity..Release all fear
That Australia may become again 'the land of oppertunity'
Isotopes of a larger part
Extractions or
Variants isolated to its
Purity
Clustered to fuss and
Burst or reburst into a
Larger reaction
Each moment of a second is
Then equal from end to end
Moreso that its stability to
endure can be made safe for
the sake of endurance
To make regular usage of
What could be be
From the position of improvement
Advancing and duplicating what has
Been advanced to create a source of
reliable power, from the simplicity of
Science.
Facts to forward the advancement of
a stable source. Elongating what has been
done to reap the benefits of its possibly.
Fusion to make one second into 60 in a safe
and productive manner!
People know the costs sky high.' In France and Britian
By and by.' 35% at least we've swallowed so far; no
Such qualms in the plan-demic, to get cash in the jar.'
Your footsloggers gov. You trundled them out with
Saucepans banging roundabout.' Was that an occult?
Nod? Owning their spirits, touting your clout.? We've
Seen it all the lies heaping up, professionals suffering
Raise a shout! balance and order; are needed no doubt.'
Yet thats not whats wanted, in the robbers lairs.'
Its control and delusions; the daily fare..its corruption
And disgrace..And there in your face..Give it up for the
Medics snd the stand they now make.'
I wished to dream in advance
love
those tides rising and falling
something to it
forever instrumental
unfolding beauty like flowers
and more
I wished to keep mine
even when there is a storm
for it can be and should be
and supposed to after all
it was not deemed
to wear.
When pondering the evils of Covid 19
Does anyone wonder about the number of last century?
We move so fast
The great USA with world class
Give us your tired your poor the lady inscribed
Our country is paved with gold and that was no lie
Written word was replaced with audio
And a screen having visuals that were naughty o
There once was a buggy with a horse
That disappeared when the engine was a perfect source
Soon we took flight
When Wilbur and Orville figured it out just right
This sparked imagination
And going into the space was the new world passion
Today when we were dealing with reality
Covid 19 quietly was doing the tally
A bug looking for a fight
Wiped everything out that was in sight
People have died others cried
When they have been trapped inside
America needs to put on its thinking cap
As it takes that long Covid 19 work at home nap
Wearing a dream like sari colored navy blue
With the lilac lips at a conch shell white in hue
Would come the evening as the curve in new moon grew
From the glow wormed darkness would look on starry dew
Gradually the merchants of capital through
The path of building a modern evening anew
One day they set fire to the idyllic milieu
To make life five and seven stars for me and you
Now evening descends in many a polished shoe
The crowd in short pants and tee shirt just two-by-two
In greedy vigour the same path we now pursue
In wounded wing our birds fly in sky a bit blue

Advancement..
Farther of medicine mention asGREEK HIPPOCRSTES.
However earth and sky .have no gods.
We collect and use medicines by try and error..
When there new spices of drugs and chemist we mix them into
outtake bloods or cells to find the desire phenomenons or not.
Also before we use them to human we test ite properties and strength
just by giving them to other animals.
Caues of disease can access us so bad.
Just diassembled are ways of china tyranny.
Herbs for then should must be assembly.
Deals with anatomy and medical ethics should have
best for regard.
Who may success as pacify if they cure the bad guys or
the dirt.
Hippocratic oaths must fulfill for bring some luck to patient.
Pledge beneficial treats for health are rather rich or not.
Thou obligations are ways of doctors that are moral needed.
Biologic fields can deal with bodily structures also psyche minds.
There are body functions also mental functions are those for regards.
So whatcha pitching?
A fit, I say.
Evoke a grin:
The slightest in?
No. Go away.
Slammed door or phone?
Smile anyway.
The angry tone –
It’s still ok.
The odds are good that soon
Stranger things will happen.
