Premium Member The 1918 Spanish Flu Pandemic
In nineteen eighteen there was an outbreak of flu
Caused little concern, only affected a few
But it returned with a vengeance later that year
And the world over it caused widespread fear.

First reported in Spain, and around the world spread
When it was over, fifty million people were...

Whose history for some of us is still well up for debate

Premium Member A Wisdom Download
If no signal fires a mental wasteland blazing passion,
Angelic vibes are only found through third-eye action

You'll feel less discomfort if you're into the ideal aura 
Life is not naughtiness, disdain, nihilism, or oxymora

Be selfish, but invest your life in an act that can last 
Before ceding...

Remembering Tagore the Bard
It is our bard's day
The eighth of May
Nay, actually
The world’s day for the second bard
For the subtle web of light and shade
Blades of grass for our mind’s eyes
The boundless sky of our psyche
Sort of haikus from the sparks
Of pains and pleasure
Of the everyday life
In amity...

For Me
She whispers to me, 
Says things this man never
Heard ever before.
She tells me and shows me
The contents of her heart.

She smiles, 
Just to think of me.
She truly is,
But treats me
Like, beautiful art.

She sings songs to me
About love and life 
And of wonderful dreams.

She is a...

Cybercrime Law
Can't they understand that its just too much
You post or tweet but what you write you watch
Bullied by lawmakers into censoring one's post
Exactly the thing that we hate the most
Reason flew away when they made this law
Carelessly ignoring that it has a flaw
Reminding us of...

Premium Member December Gift
He was eight when he came to us,
a special Christmas Eve gift,
small, quiet, hollow eyed, hungry.
 
Gifts under the tree bore his name.
His eyes devoured the table,
laden with food, cookies, pies.
“Let’s eat,” I said, “Gifts can wait.”

After all the packages were opened,
he said, “Grandma, can...

Premium Member A Church Without the Gospel
The church's voice seems so void
in this modern age so spiritually dim
where atheism and modernism in charge
controlling social opinion forever in film

so many churches water down the message
where the gospel is no gospel at all
losing it's effect with no power in effect
no wonder sin is...
