Race-Ism

What makes one man or woman better than another?
Should we think differently of those who adapted
to another environment and adapted another color?

If our differences are only skin deep as a tone
why do we unto our heritages
so dearly as if their our own

Why should I feel...

Folly-Ism
Worlds great monuments as they stand,
every civilization builds its own.
Pyramids and towers are built so grand,
from the Wall to the Colosseum of Rome.
What drives a mans great desire,
from glass, to steel, to brick.
To build a building, higher and higher
the race seems to get ever more...

Solace in solitude is not solace,
Yet solitude drapes around me as fog.  
It backs up against the yellowing pale of democracy,
falling to cries of ism.
Ism builds the bridge 
but passes nothing across.
Ism makes us all equally nothing.
It fills no gaps.
It eases no pain.
Everyone has...

Premium Member So-Shall-Ism
when everyone has nothing
we will fight for scraps of bread
while the dogs are eating gourmet food
our school kids dine on things long dead

when all of “us” are equal
except the ones on top
we’ll eat the roots and spit the dirt
while “they” consume the crop

when all the...

The Ism of Life
Those who stretched out their chests like lions
in front of the pipes of guns are now the kings of highways.
Those who died helplessly jumping into the gape of the invading shark
are now alive in the din and bustle of life.
And those who escaped hiding themselves...

Looking through the prism 
  of 'Judgmentalism'
  (A brand-new 'ism):

"The End is Near!"
 shouts a scruffy beard
    ~ Nihilism

 Trim the beard
 and 'presto'

Premium Member Man's Ism
Myriads thronged seclusions to proclaim passion, 
Endless breath, of Life words acts and desires,
Weary mortals seeking hopes,
From troubled vanities of passing vanities,  
Countless hearts, seekers of all kinds,
From all religions of man's invention.

From idolatry, traditionalism,
Cultures of hoods and voods
To Christianity, Islam, Maoism, Judaism,
Shintoism, Eckanker,...

Soul Our Ism
i've tread
the ground
around the
world in

whirled wind
adventures
but not
always

following the
star but usually
the moon so that
i've become a lunatic

but today
shut up
in my
room

for five
days i
didn't
even

go outside
to see the
sun even
when it

once came
out i still
stayed
in and

haven't
since
came
out...

Duel
In the evening there are two guys
Climbing up the top of two hills
Target on another with their pistols
It’s a duel and only nature is the viewer
Along with the setting sun and open sky.
What will happen, who will die?
Nature is waiting to see eagerly
Probably it forgets...
