Dying Young     Lyrics by Eileen Manassian

I’m afraid of dying young
Of leaving things yet undone
I’m afraid I’ll leave this place
Yet not leave a single trace

I’m afraid I haven’t said
All that lives inside my head
I’m afraid I’ll disappear
And no one will hold me dear.

I’m afraid I’ve yet to touch ,The hearts of

A FAITH-BASED PERSPECTIVE
OF WAR AND ITS DESTINY 

Murder is a crime
Unless it’s in war;
Then it’s all legal:
A death penalty
For the innocent:-

Our reality,
Is not of heaven;
Wars have no angels:
Only its demons;
Scavengers of peace:-

Yet, let’s be of faith,
Laboring in love
God is on our side,
And has canvassed hope:
ARMAGEDDON:-

A prose poem based on Copotronic love Scifie

A prose poem based on Copotronic love (Scifie)
by Tamanna Ferdous
One day, I was all prepared to test him about his IQ.

After testing him with different questions in general knowledge,

I read him from an antique Bengali poet, Jibanananda Das.

 

"The resting place placed the restful here

Never certain if the restful is resting here, though.”

 

 

Then

Lost Paradise

Adam and Eve were kicked out of the garden, then they started eating meat
Away from plentiful fruits and vegetables, they started a fleshly retreat

Unwittingly sliding down Jacob''s ladder
Man falling from heaven down into dark matter

Away from the light of spirit
Closer to the root in this world and no longer intuit

Taking deep dives and swims in

Gender based violence

Gender-based violence, why all the silence?
We walk the walk; we talk the talk.
With all the violence 
there is only silence.

Women cry at night, 
feeling they have no right.
Rape every hour
leaves them sour.

Beatings, rape, and murder,
there is no way to take it further.
Men treat women like scum,
while they are numb.

Girls are raped at a young age

nxde -based off of a song

I didn’t come out of my mother clothed
I was born nude
I shower nude
I change nude

My body is not sexual
Those who paint it to be are
Being nude isn’t being inappropriate
We were made this way

Only the wretched will think of people
Not in a humane sense, but derogatorily
They don't care what’s on, but under
Their conceptions disgust me

The tenacity

When Kindness Is Your Enemy Based On True Events

I guess I had the looks the charm and charisma 
to attract the sort of girl who lacked a character 
when kindness is seen as flirtation obsession does occur 
in one moment you showed more than any man’s shown her 
so much so she now believes there must be an attraction 
starved of any follow

Premium MemberGlobal Resource Based Economy

In a world where money fades away, 
A new economy comes to play. 
Global resources, shared by all, 
No debts or servitude to enthrall.
With tech so smart, and systems grand, 
We’ll manage resources, hand in hand. 
Automation takes the lead, 
Ensuring all our needs are freed.
The Earth’s green heart, we’ll protect, 
With science guiding each

Beyond the Concept-Activity Based Costing

A One Off Concept
as Tends to happen
casting to be
announced
a institutional concept
emotion exclusivity
concepts of revivalry
quality needs not to be
negotiated
Neglecting the needs of
your consumer base
undermines your effectiveness
pre production is successful
at the post production fade
Brand recognition offers
satisfaction
Production within the bounds of
creation
allows the functioning production machine
to keep the momentum of production

Don't Bury Courtesy On the Political Prairie -Based on Western Ballad

Oh don’t bury courtesy 
on the political Prairie. 

Where politicians rant
And tell words I can’t; 

Say in a crowd 
or even whisper out loud. 

Oh bury courtesy not on the political Prairie. 

Where the politicians howl
and untruths flow free.

Oh bury courtesy not!

These words came loud and pleading 
from many citizenry. 

But they took no heed
those

if the movie producers 
actually listened to us 
that'd be sooo groovy!

Premium MemberBased on a Robert Frost poem

I, a window-flower,

and he, a winter breeze,
carrying along the birds,
the butterflies, and bees

Quiet strength's my power

putting chipmunks at ease--
munching seeds, without words
looking at me, to tease

Thinking I did cower--

--the day-- I did not seize
the breeze went with cow herds
(forsook for milk and cheese!!)

Primarily Based on Current News

another martyr
wonder who will be the next
one more life taken

he went through pure hell
dictator leadership
a sad price to pay

have been hanging on
fingertip will slip and slip
caste into the past

he wants to consume
dictator alligator
swallows each mouthful

hurt goes on and on
there is no relief in sight
life full of much pain

who will be scapegoat
are able to pin rap

Brushing teeth in school,to be like a golden rule, 
Cutting back on a shuggery meal
Seems quite the lead; by touch and feel
Yet its quite ok to add, to their water (not a fad)
Around thirty three things? or more, from God knows what store?
Also injecting experimental drugs, from some mad alien thugs
Watching bloody wars, is part

Based on Silent Ones Idea and Part 2 of Poetry Is so this makes 3



       You cannot tell someone how to be poetic.
One of the beauty's of God's creation is variety.

Everyone has a different way to view the world. So expression is personal and how they do it, 
is how they do it.
You can dislike the well and the pump, 
the water may
