The Debate
“Devoid of decorum and dignity”
Is one of the quotes that I heard.
To know it relates to the POTUS debates
Is as awful as it is absurd.

On one side, a bully whose bluster
Would get him suspended from school;
With no self-control and a hole in his soul,
He’s a...

Election Debate
Two suits with familiar faces, the faces that we focus our battles.
These masters of the future, in your name they act, but you claim no blame.
So when a war is fought or the smog embalms us, will you still shout with tears that democracy lost...

DEBATE

A line of faces
In semi-circle
Big ugly at center

All in mask and gown

A slow waltz begins

They speak
Each in turn

From the crowd
Chief Pemican says
“Pale faces speak with forked tongue.”

Each step to forced control
But, Senator_________and others decide
To foxtrot

Cymbals crash
With annoying bluster

The whole group in disarray
Defending choice
Save big ugly
Who...

The Debate
A Debate

The Atheist
I see no reason for a god
Indeed for any type of god at all
I look around at all the churchmen
The pompous richly dressed ones
And wonder what their founder would have thought
And then at the other end
The shabby unpretentious lot
More primitive, more fundamental and...

Living Debate
Today I thought of all my stress
Causing me such an unrest
So much to think that I had thought
Would it be better to live or not?

Get this straight: I'm no cutter
No pill taker; def. not a jumper
I'm not killing myself- get that straight
Just explaining today's living...

An Open Debate, Bolehland Awaits
An Open Debate, We Await...

Hohoho.....

Someone is so full of himself and sounded so arrogant...
So full of self importance to come across as belligerent...

Issuing an open challenge for a public debate any time and place in Bolehland...
That brave but brash man is now caught like a...

Premium Member Feathers of Pride and Humility
In twilight's realm where...
moonbeams entwine.
There are two owls engaged...
in a contrast of minds:
A Great Horned Owl so proud and strong!
And a Great Gray Owl whis is cunning and long.

Amidst the trees their feathers shone,
"Who is the wisest?" their voices cried...

As their debate ignited, fierce and...
