Teachings of Miseries
A big thank you to all those who crushed my desires, 
Now my mind is calm with minimum one requires

A big thank you to all those who criticized me,
Now criticism doesn't hurt, positive I see

A big thanks to those who never helped me in need,
They...

The True Church and His Teachings

The blind of life, and the misunderstood of...

Kindergarten logic twists narrative indoctrinating the young 
in how to tell their parents to behave at home 
threatening such behaviour turns against family values 
in favour of this one sided view that alters the truth...

False Teachings
All in your riches cursed by your word
Making up these lies about faith which is absurd
Making your profits off people by false prophets
All surrounded by people who are lost for you cost us

Leave us to die by your money and fake dream
Jesus is the word...

Teachings
Epilepsy is something I never had
And for that I will always be glad.
I've been shot, fell off a cliff and even been in a house fire
But the day I had a fit is my least desire.
It was something I could never fully explain
It's left it's...

The Man and His Teachings
He sat in a boat at the edge of the sea,
The people thronged Him,
They hungered for His words,
His words flooded the gloom cloaked in them,
They filled the fissures that ran in them,
They were saddled with life's weights,
They were victims of circumstances,
Troubled by life’s vicissitudes,
They were...

The Maladroit Teachings of the Human Skul
A cracked and empty skull
makes a beautiful flower pot,
desk tidy or paperweight.

Place a nightlight in that osseus cave
and it will become a small table lamp.

Through the ages
monks have harvested skulls;
some sanctuaries and chapels
are built on human bones
and the skulls form their central alter.

Mystics understand
that this...

Premium Member SEVEN GRANDFATHER TEACHINGS

It’s ironic isn't it…how even though we tried to destroy indigenous cultures 
and replace them with our own.
how even though we no longer want this history to be known…

How in spite of all this and the indignities they suffered…
all their heartache..all their pain
In spite of...

Smart Students
Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn. 
-Benjamin Franklin

When a teacher is teaching  , some smart students 
Always love so much their teacher because
They want to be knowledgeable in their lives. 
You can ask yourselves some questions...

Everythings Green
Mr. Armstrong

an alien unseen

wrote with my pen

saying frog legs

are an order undone...

so what would it mean

if the play of the day

played out onscreen

would the Stonehenge astronaut

know where to begin

gone for so long

dragon Sang

Sung that song

and so what of

the Jedi Queen

away on holiday

in the space between

"it's...

You told me I was wise
When I spoke of what you Taught me
But the moment I made my own truth
You stopped listening.

Know This Drop That
The way up, is down
Even if only on your knees
Believe this, in Jesus Sermon, 
Matthews (5,6,7): humble like these
Children, said He: you are One
Of a kind, His masterpiece
But everyone he made alike as peas
Along with this Earth Pod. I know
I also fought, once against two

The Barefoot Village Woman
On the other side of the village, there lived an old woman.
Every day, she walked barefoot on a country dusty road,
passing by our neighborhood.

In the summer, we played all day long in the dust,
We, curious children, asked:
- Why do you walk barefoot when every villager...
