Best Orientated Poems


Premium Member Oh My God

Please hire my Hubby! I’m begging you! PLEASE!!!!
He’s now obsessing over his resume’… I’m down on my knees!
Each minute he has… it gets longer! Surely! You DO SEE!
A thousand pages is a bit too much into the details for me…
When HR sees it they’ll be leading the lemmings down the trail!
He calls it detail orientated… In a STRAIGHT face prevailed…
Poor Hubby! My Hubby! What will be his FATE?
Wondrous! AMAZING! He thinks its sooo Great!
But it’s way to long… to seriously contemplate!
Once when handed to HR… It slipped thru their hands… too late!
Didn’t finish the interview… With HR’s broken foot to mend!
When HR hear he’s applying again they close their Doors! Amen!
The newbie is always the one… left to tackle him… in the end!
They once threw his resume’ into the trash, after he walked out the door…
The can fell into pieces… clear across the blooming floor!
To stave off more resumes’ they are now readily equipped!
They ask for an email update… Then hit Delete!
They’ve learned to leave his BOOK on the front desk… for him to see!
Saying they are interested, no less! But… it’s stamped in red ink “OMG”!
As he returns every day, they tell him OMG is for Obviously Mightily Great!
Now! Now! Do you really believe that? Quick HIRE him! I reiterate!
OMG stands for nothing less than… OH! My! God! To you and to me…
Helping with My Son’s School Science Project is WAY too much, to see!
He’s asking how to get technology to rhyme with Lollypop. Over the bend, some?
A newbie asked what he does for fun! DUH! Surely, he can’t be THAT DUMB!
The wife of a genius must never despair, as his ideas expand everywhere… 
He’s funny!… Gee!… I need some more ink! Honestly! I’m running out of ink!
When he heard me say this… All he could do was blink!
COME ON, FOLKS! Give him a job! My laughter is getting EXTREME!
LOL… It won’t be long before I’m popping my clothes at their seams!

Ignorance Meets Insanity

Seriousness settles in, like an old friend
Seriousness spreads like a disease
Infecting us, accelerating, our aging process 
Our youthfulness, our playfulness, slowly slipping away
Our wonder in life, diminishing
Seriousness leading to rigidness, pathway to small mindedness!

Days and years, rolling into one
Colourless, lifeless, mundane, dull and boring
“What day is it?”
“Don’t smile or your face might crack!”
Judgemental, cantankerous!
Pompous attitudes, of modern day man

Stubbornness and ignorance, clinging to what’s familiar
Seriousness, up tightness, humourless, imagination vanished, pathway to madness!
The mind focused on its self created drama’s
Fears constantly being stimulated, from our outside world
Personal insecurities, constantly being triggered, inside
The past lives on, the present forgotten 
What was once important, now, left on the back burner
Hard headed, victim orientated
Righteous, self absorbed
Emptiness, hollowness, helplessness

Seriousness and ignorance, walk hand in hand
Becoming, our best friends
The vampire suckers of vitality
Sucking the life, out of our personal goals and childhood dreams
Lose of faith, gradually, losing our way
Lost, amongst the thick of it
Not knowing any different
Everything becoming an illusion
Seeing things as it should be
In our own little universe, no one else’s!

Entrapment of the mind
Our, personal intelligence, laying dormant
Body and mind, riddled with dis - ease
Heart beating hard, starving for a substance, we call love
Numb, to the outside
Numb, on the inside
Desensitized!
Going crazy!
Consumed with our own self created loneliness and separation
Ignorance meets insanity!

We Need To Be Orientated To Jesus

We Need to Be Orientated to Jesus!

There’s often a lot of speculation…
Regarding a person’s “orientation.”

As each day goes by… One can clearly see...
Many are confused as to what they want to be.

Which direction one goes…  Is “anybody’s guess…”
No wonder this world’s an “upside-down” mess!

The Bible says; “straight is the way.”  
And “narrow is the gate.”
One needs to make up his mind. 
 Before it’s too late!

If one is confused.  Let God’s word
 give a clear direction!
It’s the word of God that gives
 much needed correction

A “Jesus orientation” is 
what needs to take place!
There’s a savior who loves us!  
And offers his grace!

If one is still unhappy with the way
 They’ve been created…
We’re wonderfully designed by God! 
 This shouldn’t be debated!

Allow the power of Jesus,
 to orientate your life today!
And listen to what your creator 
really has to say!

Where there is emptiness…  God’s love does
 much more abound…
Allow the Holy Spirit to turn 
your life around!

Jesus alone can change your 
whole way of living!
His life for yours…  
Is what HE is giving!

Factors Affecting Intelligence - Part 1

1. Time (duration within a particular period of time) whether short or long and Time of
education, time availability for study
2. Interest at a particular point in time
3. Length, size, structure, width (specificity and diversity) of information available at a
particular time or point in time
4. Recepto-recereativity (Recreato-receptivity) - The ability of an individual to retain
and retrieve-remember information or to retain information without necessarily
understanding what the information means. It is the ability to manipulate data to make
personal meaning. It could be with the use of clues such as mnemonics etc. Also known as
the natural-intuitive-unlearned technique of doing things or representing things. It is the ability to use personal techniques or to retain and remember and give back what was implied without any derivation.
5. Creativity - This is driven by interest and understanding of the subject or information
and thus the individual has the ability to remember and recreate based on his/her
understanding-interpretation of the meaning. The individual can recreate or derive based
on his/her understanding. It is a point of view orientated knowledge at its peak, and a
derivative of one’s understanding. Here the information is linked to make-form meaning.
Knowledge at its peak equals understanding and understanding at its peak equals creativity (derivative of one's own understanding). But creativity is according to the individual's interpretation (point of view oriented)-understanding.
6. Mental work load

Premium Member Upside Down

Bob snowman was famous all over the town
Was fun orientated, behaved like a clown
One day on the frost
His balance he lost
Then tumbled and landed legs up and head down!

It Took Me

It took me to be me so you could be you
It took me to be short so you could be tall
It took me to be thin so you could be fat
And yes it took me and not you
It took me to be dark so you could be light
It took me to be poor so you could be rich
It took me to starve so you could be eat
And yes it took me and not you
It took me to be sad so you could be happy
It took me to cry so you could laugh
It took me to work so you could be idle
And yes it took me and not you
It took me to lose my family so you could have yours
It took me not to be educated so you could be educated
It took me to be disorientated so you could be orientated
And yes it took me and not you
It took me not to travel so you could travel
It took me to be landless so you could have land
It took me to be homeless so you could have a home
And yes it took me and not you
It took me to adore so you could abhor
It took me to be guilty so you could be not guilty
It took me be accused so you could be not accused
And yes it took me and not you
It took me to die so you could live
O how i wonder if you are living today

Premium Member Homesickness

Homesickness has me
Ogling old photographs,
Missing all that reminds me of home.
Echoes of a time long ago
Still, rings silently in my heart, and
I long to return to my roots and
Come home to my family:
Kick back and reclaim my youth.
Nowhere else feels like home:
Everything in the city is,
Self-serving, corrupted, or
Sexually orientated; God, I miss home!

What Some Woman Want

We all have different ideas about the kind of life that we want to live,some of us are goal orientated,virtually making it impossible for us to be in a relationship with someone without ever feeling like we are wasting valuable time and we can never make time for the person we are dating.

And then sadly we become bad people,we become the black sheep's of society because reality is,we will probably never get married or have children(so what??) I don't want children nor do I want a husband,I have different agendas about how I want my life to be structured so please explain to me why I can't do this without having to explain my intentions to the world,after all they are mine,nobody else's so there's literally no need for anybody else to understand this.

This idea that woman cannot be strong without another person who is male is not true,we do not need a relationship to be strong,we rather need to be comfortable in our own skin and be infinite with that comfortability so that by any chance,if it happens and we hit the floor,the love that we have for ourselves will not allow for us to give up on these goals.

Society and marriage,who are you to measure my growth or anything else based on something that could end so easily,something indefinite like marriage,I am a success not because I am married but because I,in my being and capable of being by myself,growing myself,and reaching the goals that I want to reach.

Premium Member The Origin of the Battle of the Sexes

Matriarchy ruled *****sapiens for many a generation.
Patriarchy ruled neanderthal clans within neanderthal civilizations.
*****sapien clans were all led by women shaman.
The shaman and her clans women were all provided for by the men.
Both sexes of both species were involved with hunting and gathering.
The more a *****sapien male provided, the better his chances of getting a women.
Neanderthals however were male orientated.
The stronger neanderthal male took whatever women he wanted and mated.
Perhaps our encounter with the neanderthals is when our battle of the sexes did begin.
When asked of a male *****sapien
(who also happened to have a neanderthal male as his best friend)
why he killed the clans' most beloved shaman,
he responded in typical neanderthal fashion,
"What can I say? She just wouldn't listen,"
and then hence, Our Battle of The Sexes did begin.

The Darkside

Mate you know i am here when things become dark
               talk obsticles through,like a stroll in the park
               building the bond that was lost,is a total pleasure
               your family orientated thoughts,do more than measure

              I totally see the path you must tredge
              your situation putting you to the edge
              i see your thoughts,i know some unclear
              open arms,open door you can come here.

The Feng Shui Dance

Feng shui " Wind and Water", Cosmic Breath..
Tell me are you orientated in the East or the  West ?
 West people gravitate to the SW,W,NW and EW .
East Persons face to the directions that are left.
Both West and East people should turn to their best directions
Shimmy to the right ,keep it simple and not too complex..
Now grab your partner, doe-si-doe ,do the promenade,
 turn around once ,Courtsey and do it all over again..
Apply the Luo Pan with the Pa Kua and swing to the right.
Mime sweet dreams baby with  angels  full of bright light.

Premium Member Opus Pt 4 Chaos Conceived

Dimensions of the poetic,playful
posies,once absurb come into
perspective the upside down unlocked
its potential perceived,evidence now
orientated and then expressed.

Positive Outlets

-Keep blowing all my money 
looking for happiness
It's kinda sad how lifes filled 
with all of this 
******** and pain, man the shits 
insane
Rather take 60 bullets straight 
to the brain. 
Who would care, another dies
In my coffin my body lies
In my eyes though all could see
The pain that always haunted 
me. 
At night I would cry. But I cry 
no more. 
Not a single tear is wasted 
upon my bedroom floor. 
The worlds in my hands but am 
I afraid to take it. 
They say in life's we must take 
risks. But I'm cornered by the 
fact that I may not make it. 
I want to make everyone proud 
I want to please the world 
I want to put faith in the hearts 
of the suffering boys and girls 
I need to get my priorities 
straight but can't see through 
all this fog.
I feel as if I'm in the middle of 
a fight between dogs. 
Im cornered and rushed but I 
yearn for a touch. 
I take and take. But it never 
amounts to much. 
I want to see the world. I want 
to spend all my earnings. 
But I'm stuck in a twirl of life's 
unfavorable mornings
I sit and wait. The food grows 
cold on my plate. 
I don't care who sees. I'm a 
bird set free
I can fly I can land but I'm goal 
orientated. 
I could die, change plans, but it 
wont change. The progress 
already created. 
I'm so capable yet so foolish. 
So young but yet so grown. 
I have the volition to do this
But how can I make it alone. 
They say that the greatest 
mistakes in life save us from 
repetition. But what about 
those who never learn.
Is life one big competition .  
Must we all wait for our turn. 
Or do we suffer and burn. 
Is life filled with complexities or 
is it just my discrepancies that 
keep me from understanding 
life piece by piece.

Life's Experiences

we often get up and fight for many things in life 
but in the end we fight and sometimes we lose 
but sometimes the decision is not always mandatory
so when your time comes ask yourself what will you choose

sometimes life throws a hardball at us unexpectedly, it happens
sometimes it will have you feeling like throwing in the towel but don't
i was told that the lord would never give us more than we can bare 
so instead of me saying I’ll try not to give up i will ensure that i wont 

we sometimes work around people that are like vampires that walk at day
they always seem to smile with you and then try to hurt you in the end 
i try to keep focus because i work for my family to keep food on the table
and i try to remember that not everybody that smiles with you is your friend

we are going to have relationships that we invest our all and everything in 
but no matter how hard we work that relationship will end up causing pain
but be minded not to stress on the effort and time that you put out in it 
but in the end always be thankful of the experience that you will gain 

life as a way of teaching us very valuable lessons from bad experiences
but these experiences somehow strengthen us along our road to success
some would probably be blaming god that they are jinxed or maybe cursed 
looking at where i am coming from to where i am at now i know i am bless 

my mother told me that nothing in this life comes easily you got to work 
the bible even told you that by the sweat of your brow so you will eat bread 
live your life knowing that anything you want in life you have to work for it
and believe that there is always possibilities once you are alive not dead 

I’m not easily moved the amount of obstacles thrown my way and I’m still here 
i am a worker i work for what i want i never just give up without a fight
i am a person that stays goal orientated and i suggest you do the same 
and i remember god in all i do so success will never be out of my sight!!!!
