Woman in Chains
(What Man Would Abide It?)

Women throughout centuries – the softer sex.
I picture them subservient since what feels like time primordial!

What man would abide
being sold as if mere chattle and being called another’s property?
What man, with a love of learning or of writing,
would acquiesce...

The First Fleet
by Robert (Bob) Moore

The 26th of January, is called Australia Day
that was when some 10 pound poms, decided they would stay
they had been, for about a week, at a place called Botany Bay
not much there, just sand and rock, and so they sailed...

Asian Epicurean Quest

At the heart of China Town, Kuala Lumpur (capital of Malaysia) is Petaling Street.
  
Domain of hustlers, hucksters, cheap-jacks and diblers; purveyors of street food, rude t-shirts, and rubber sandles to put your feet on;
 - genuine imitation Rolex watches and handbags...

"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by, and
That has made all the difference".
The Road Not Taken. Robert Frost

We deem it normal for babies to cry when they arrive.
Perhaps it's the best indication that they are alive.
But in their...

The year was 1680 and I was travelling,
            I sat in the carriage looking out the window;
The coachman was driving the horses quickly,
      As a storm was approaching us...

Young Peter is far from perfect
Teen anger he fails to deflect
His trail of destruction
Has caused such a ruction
You should see the items he’s wrecked

His parents do little to stop him
They’re addicts, and too busy popp’in
Heroin and pills
Which don’t cure their ills
The outlook for Peter is...

How things have changed! 
The old verities no longer apply 
Our world has evolved 
and we must adapt
Electricity connects the whole planer 
One can get in touch with people in almost all lands 
within seconds
The internet reaches around the globe 
The "information highway" makes for...

Where has he gone, the one who carried my laughter, gave me countless stories of his pasture, unsuitable for a grazing sheep like me.

Where has he gone, the one who confused hearts with the mastery of his muse, taken by his words of smooth.

Where has...

Evading feral branches and pools of stagnant stuff.   
I'm taking the short way home ,  
Greasy grass and soaking anarchist weeds saturate my feet,  
I'm frozen to the bone  all to take the short way home.   

Through hawthorn...

Poor Africa, why have you allowed your ancient precious priceless beads taken away frm you while coveting after a common coated carved stones from the foreign land?
Where were you when your artifacts were shipped to the land behind the oceans
And your Children...

There is nothing worse than love except unloved.
It's unclear why I have been moved from desirable to undesirable.
An unaccountable situation not uncommon in the relationship world.
The issue that one has become uncommitted is undeniably
ungracious and unsuitable.
The fact that my possession of an individuals undivided attention...

I wake early- even before the birds,
my nightgown is thread-bare, all a tatter;
when I try to talk, I just lose my words,
my mirror reveals a frumpy oldster.

Oh, that is not me- I am beautiful,
just a silly optical illusion;
this old mirror is quite unsuitable,
a figment...

TO THE ONE WHO IS LOVE

Life is brittle
If love is little
Trust in Him
Learn to trim
The unsuitable
Flourish the valuable 

In Him
Life is everlasting
To Him 
Love is unceasing 
With Him
Everything is unfading

Love is unconditional
When there is empathy
Love is total
When there is affinity
Love is genuine 
When there is...
