Each shoe,
a life He knew,
buds of His olive tree-
next time perhaps,it could be you..
or me !

Gods Of Man's Vanity Demanding Intolerance


False realities fed to the masses
Another ghost ships sails the seas
Knowing not, yet their lie passes
Escaping truth's majestic pleas
God of vanity demands intolerance
Only its hate is to be displayed
Damn morals, into deeper ignorance
Silent servitude must then be paid
Love, always a...

Tolerance of Intolerance
Monday aftermath Paris reflecting

terror waging a war

challenging our generation dancing on graves

Paris attacks mindless

blaming ourselves

watching a band

dinner at our favorite café

attending a football match

a death sentence for a simple act

fighting back viciously

multi-cultural societies are in danger

integration taken for granted

liberal beliefs now shine

big hearted acceptance

learning to...

Ruddy youths, outside my house
Can't walk to the shops at night.
Hanging on the street corner.
They even follow me to the pub.
They ought to get a job.
Instead of bothering pensioners like me.
I bet they'd mug you just for being old.
I can tell by the way they...

Intolerance
From the womb I sprung forth in a storm unrelenting
waves crashing ashore, endless bending and blending
alone and defenseless to weather the tempest
the gales blew relentless, clouding my senses

  Set adrift in that sea of the knowledge of man
attempting to stand, felt around with bare...

Age of Intolerance
The Inquisition’s dead
In Western liberal minds,
Yet elsewhere people live in fear
Of being punished for their “crimes”

Not saying who they really love,
Or speaking things that they believe,
Or being who they really are,
Or even thinking differently

For them, the Inquisition lives
In families and friends alike;
In private and in...

Ignorance and Intolerance
So you think you are superior species…

You think animals are below your
 standards, that they are wild beast…

Well, you belong to that species
  “Animal” you are not, a vegetable…

Do you think, you are better than, 
the other person standing or sitting 
next to you…

Well,...

Intolerance
She greets us with loud and American brightness
Gives us the menu with florid politeness
Has cheerfulness written all over her face
But just hasn’t quite got the tone of the place
We only went in there to grab a quick brunch
But seemingly we have a threesome for lunch
As...

Intolerance
Intolerance is now a hot topic for lot of discussions, 
Intolerance is something which divides a nation into two sections. 
Intolerance for some is just a mixture of all political gimmicks, 
Intolerance for other is a hidden agenda of some freaks. 
Intolerance for some is...

concerned about tolerating
evangelical 
monotheistic Red intolerance
of unstraight

panentheistic EarthDays

Will have trouble tolerating

of the fittest Chosen StraightAnthros.

INTOLERANCE


Intolerance is a not too subtle flavour of disdain
That festers within a society blinded by
Individualism and Cant

To breathe the smog of hatred that surrounds
Is to invite within the animosities and wrongs
That may never be overcome or tamed

The seeds of indifference sown wide
Promulgate ignorance
Buttressed by the...

Semantic Intolerance
I remember this word, when it was a veritable curse;
It spoke of  actions, beliefs, feelings and ideas that were
reprehensible and indefensible, only worthy of our condemnation

I remember when it was a vile and shameful descriptor; 
It was synonymous for ignorance, hate, injustice, inhumanity
It was...

First They Came For the Muslims
First they came for the Muslims

after Martin Niemoller

First they came for the Muslims
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Muslim.

Then they came for the homosexuals
and I did not speak out
because I was not a homosexual.

Then they came for the feminists
and I did...

Intelligentsia
I think about intelligence
     And wonder why we think our due
     Is sanctioned by our own IQ
That natural inheritance
     Compels us by unbending laws
     To evolutionary cause
That beggars to...
