yourself you didn't see~it

Six Flags Over Texas has been America's favorite theme park since 1961. It was developed
in Arlington, Texas. This theme park is so great, so awesome, it's like going to the Walt
Disney Resort in Orlando Florida. It's got a lot of rides, like, the Texas Giant, the
Batman ride, the Superman Ride, and stuff. At Six Flags, there's also a lot of Looney
Tunes characters, like Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tweety Bird, Elmur Fudd, and other Warner
Bros. characters. How awesome is that? Six Flags' got lots of shops and an arcade, and
lots of tasty food. I heard that it's got a steam train with two train stations, even when
he and/or she gets off the train to go on one of the rides. This is why everybody loves
going to Six Flags Over Texas, even in the summer time. Looks like I'll be going back to
Six Flags Over Texas in my beloved Arlington. I wish the visits to Six flags Over Texas
were endless, as in, to be unlimited, forever.

American flags,
the right to destroy is yours;
as is your freedom.

See the flag
with two stars
in the white
surrounded by heart
honor pride
courage and love
the whole package from above
god is here
in us all
in the soldiers
who rise and fall
give your love
and warm hearts
to the men away
doing their part
See the flag
with two stars
in the white
surrounded by heart

Handicapped access and Six Flags is an oximoron
Overheard in the exit line of the mine train ride:
Four year old girl states "That ride made my tummy very angry!!"

How unthinkable is for a Jew and an Arab to walk
side by side and end the atrocities of war!
They wouldn't be afraid of a nuclear weapon attack,
their sky would be blue, not filled with horror;
will their children be taught unprejudiced love
to build that harmonious and peaceful grove?
If religious wars were never fought,
so much grief would be spared
for the ones holding the hateful thought:
wouldn't Jesus be more loved?
If food were given to hungry people,
death would be walking away from all;
many see starvation, but ignore the call...
they rather live well and ignore their struggle.
I must believe in the dream of world peace
when happiness would reign and increase
in lands where justice has been miguided
and the quest for truth has been denied.
Let's hold hands and teach the little ones
never to be remembered of conflicts
that caused woe and death for ages!
Let's write " Peace " on they foreheads:
they will know pure love that can be built with kind hands...
they will create a free world without barriers and flags!

A small boy, carrying two flags
Russian and Ukrainian, smeared with red
Today is Memorial Day
A day for the American flag, I said
The lad shook his head
What matter, he said
Brave soldiers lie dead ~
Red, the lifeblood they bled

Rhyme
Did I not fall in love?
with a man in his boldness,
Matured at acuteness.
Ohhh he felt like home.
For the three months we pushed,
but haven't actually set eyes on each other
but, it felt like we knew each other.
I remember the days when he gave excuses for my "coming over"
I ignored the red flags
His Excuses felt like reasons enough to contain me.
I'll tell you what...
I was blind
Blinded by love.
How I chose to trust his word over what made sense.
How I betrayed my thoughts to delusions.
Did he not disappoint me?
On my calm day
And I remember it was a Friday
During working hours, towards ending hours.
I'll tell you what...
I got a call from the Hunk
Shocked I was than I could say worried,
He never called in those hours.
So, I answered with concern
And My heart sank a little when I heard voice of a woman.
But I was keen to hear what she had to say,
In actual fact to understand "why I am talking to a woman with his phone"
Guess what?
It was a Chick of his
Claiming that I disturb her relationship with Him
Him-The man I thought I fell in love with.
I asked Only relevant questions than fighting over him
Never will I ever give a man that much of a pride.
I'd rather put him on a spot to decide,
but fighting over a man no, my pride DON'T allow me.
Now I asked her, "where is Clyde"
Did she not say they've exchanged phone?
Tell you what...
She said they work together.
Did I not feel like a dummy?
well, I laughed a little, it wasn't even funny
In question a tear dropped, I remember
In the same instant my jaw dropped
For everything started making sense.
However, left Wondering
if he cheated with me or He cheated on me with her.
I still have no answer.
But I'll tell you what...
My heart dropped with every part of my being.

Leave these ships with the big
white sails that hardly are wobbling.
Leave this cry of the gulls full of
alarming
longing – let the lungs swallow the wind
coming.
Leave the eyes, let them travel beyond
the horizons –
falling leaves.
And find that angle of the time – of
love
when “Here and there does not
matter”*
and that grief which hollows out the air
becomes the jump,
becomes wing beat,
the water deep in the tank,
the entire while of moving unmovable.
Flags!
*T.S. Eliot

Smouldering pieces of thread,
Quenching synthetic boarders from ourselves,
A Phoenix burns within,
Onto crimson wings we fly,
As our heart burns forever, never to die,
Never to die,
Ashes that dashes all fear yet curiosity
Burns still, we will all be free,
To see a man, as my brother,
No difference of heart,
Not one from another,
We’ll have cloth to warm those children instead,
While the states of power, are the only ones dead,
The only ones dead,
Smouldering pieces of thread,
Quench synthetic boarders from ourselves,
Phoenix burns within,
Onto crimson wings we fly
Our heart burns forever, never to die,
Never to die,
So burn all of the flags,
Bodies left without the tags,
Left without presuming our own lives,
Left without nationality,
Left with life, as a priority,
Pride for what’s left of our countries,
Is beside what’s left when we still cut down trees,
Suffocated in colours until we’re colour blind,
They fade, tolerance of each other is where we will find,
One single land for all,
Stronger together, we cannot fall.
We cannot fall.

Lyric
We started like a story,
You read me cover to cover,
Pretending you cared—
Just long enough to smother.
You said all the right words,
But your hands told the truth.
You weren’t in it for love,
Just the body of my youth.
I was a game.
A joke.
A cure for your boredom.
While you hid someone else—
Your loyalty was a phantom.
I was never your partner,
Just a place to pass time.
You wanted what was mine,
But never to make me mine.
When I spoke of my battles,
The darkness I faced alone,
You smirked—
Like pain was punchline,
Like I was weak to the bone.
You laughed when I cried,
Mocked what I felt.
As if my mind was broken,
And your jokes were how it dealt.
But I see it now.
The gaslighting.
The games.
How I was only a conquest,
Not a name.
You broke me—
But through the cracks came light.
And I finally saw the truth
I was too in love to fight.
You were a walking red flag,
Dressed in fake affection.
All charm, no depth,
Just lies and deflection.
But I’m free now.
Not yours, not fooled, not small.
You wanted in my pants—
But you’ll never have my soul at all.

What foolish thoughts doth my mind entertain
That alloweth my heart to cling to hope?
Perchance it be governed as how to cope:
By banishing thinking that threatens pain?
Nay, this canst not be truth; methinks again...
Yet, even these new thoughts give cause to mope
How couldst I believe they containeth scope?
I knowest truly that they all be feign
Still, I cling fast to the merest glimmer
That fate beholds a hand I do not see
And these dreams canst exist in a real world;
That, instead of Hope's eyes getting dimmer
My deepest wishes be'eth granted me
And I wilt see my true purpose unfurled ~

Italian Sonnet
We are one people,
with one home,
and one flag."
D. J. Trump
Hmmm.
I was with him
right up to the last word,
where I so hoped,
without any realistic expectation,
he would say one "climate"
Waving many diversely colored
polyphonic and polycultural flags
on behalf of health for all species
and against pathology for any ecosystem.
Democrats support WinWin politics
for all polypathic flags
of Earth enhabiting cultures,
where nationalistic elitists,
Plutocrats and entitled patriarchs,
are blinded by their own short-sighted ego-centric flag waving
for secularized wealth,
dualistically devoid of double-boundaried sacred health.
National flags rise and fall,
and still Mother Earth expects an answer
to which one climate we would have become
the fairest of and for us all.
