Risks
RISKS
Scarred hills, risked mine shafts, dark and deep. 
The plonk of a stone,  dropped into water, far below.
Kids drifted to sounds of the gold-rush, pick and windlass.

But inside our school, Sir recruited afternoon classes into 
battle. We piloted Spitfires, strafing Messerschmitts. Bingo! 
The plane...

Certain diseases seem to be more prevalent in some races than others
So with no other issues in your family health care history
You still may have risk factors for several diseases
Just by belonging to a particular ethnic group

Risks
The reconstruction, of my souls mass destruction 
Becomes intertwined in dark, which left its mark
Immeasurable pain, skin piercing rain
It’s all in the same, part of the game
My mind is disrupt, as the world is corrupt 
Consumed by sin, unhappy once again
Where does this end, can...

Book: Radiant Verses: A Journey Through Inspiring Poetry



Taking Risks
I’m climbing too high
And I look down below
To see I’m on top of the world
Of the love I once knew.
I never told you
That I was afraid of heights,
But I never needed to,
Because you took away the fright.
But I feel like I’m going to fall
And break...

Vaping Ain'T Worth the Risks
Vaping Ain’t Worth The Risks

To vape or not to vape, perhaps say  the venerated Shakespeare …
If only he were alive this day , he might also got to make a choice…
Back in his Victorian times, it was probably just tobacco and pipes …
What is...

Taking risks


Ride for a fall, we enjoy and relish,
Idea of taking risks in life why not cherish ?
Play with fire, have your heart in front,
Even if you expect to be burnt,

Put your head in lion's mouth,
It's time to prove you are worth,
Dare take the bear...

The Risks of Love
THE   RISKS  OF  LOVE  


It was a hostile land in those days, singing
Of our dream of a house, clinging 
To something we could believe in,
Rooted in the soft rocks so that even
The breath of the earth itself was muffled.
Precarious, tenacious,...

Weigh the Risks
I never planned on saying goodbye
If I had it my way we'd both have wings to fly
I never planned on making you cry
But not letting go would be living a lie

Neither of us know, nor could we tell
If falling in love would turn out that...

I'D Do Anything: Taking Risks For You
You're strong and you deserve 
All praise...
For you brightened up my days
And I can't imagine you abandoning me... 
I can see our friendship last for a lifetime

I'd sacrifice my life...for you
I could hike Mount Everest...for you
I'd give you all that...

Risks
Every bodies afraid of going into business
what happens if the company goes bankrupt 
does that mean I'll lose my home and everything else
to the debts of a bad investment

People can start limited liability companies 
companies that are seen in law
as being their own entities

Dave Risks Early Grave
Let us at Risk-Taking Dave
Lengthily rave 
For choosing to live in a cave
Also, The Choice of a Gorilla
That could demolish a stout slave
And wrestling Victory not release to a Godzilla …

Now in Echoing Cave
To improve on His high Octave
Mention that he’s risking an...

Premium Member Therapeutic Risks and Opportunities
WinLose risks
probably never disappear
for WiseElder
Left-Right codependent Bodhisattvas
messianic co-arising
ecological egotherapeutic healing
and WinWin holonic integrity wholing.

Deep learning bilateral compassion
to meet our basic needs
economic ecology
through more democratically mature
Ego-EcoPositive political fashions
and, yet again, WinWin designs.

Immature competitive adolescent strategies
become automatic normals
re-acclimating double-binds
of WinLose dissonant compromises,
accepted practice for now,
waiting for WinWin...

TO EXPOSE FEELINGS is to risk rejection.
TO PLACE YOUR DREAMS BEFORE THE CROWD is to risk ridicule.
TO LOVE is to risk not being...

Belonging
If you must feel like flying
And they recommend you walk
If that smile you're wearing 
Is their most wanted look
Then, gather your books, your cat, your sweater
We are leaving this place
Than become a disaster...
