dedicated to my mum
mum god will keep you well balanced
relying on chance
trying to find a needle
inside a haystack
a well-balanced choice
a winner or a loser
you can bet on it
when tossing a coin
the most probable outcome
would be heads or tails
lack of dialogue
increases the probable
failure of marriage
waking up early
does not always guarantee
you’ll see the sun rise
weighing pros and cons
when faced with a decision
between right or wrong

Unlike the others in my family,
I rarely let emotions take control.
A temper tantrum they'd not see from me.
The "cool" one I was called. It's still my role.
I rarely get choked up by anything.
As one well-balanced, rarely ever do
I feel depressed, jealous, unforgiving
or guilty! (I don't sit around and stew).
I guess I see betrayal as a sin
that I abhor, for in my youth one day,
my best friend laid a trap and I fell in,
but it was not a too nice joke to play!
My best friend lured me on the telephone
to say the way I felt about Margo -
a girl whose reputation was well-known
as "bad girl," and she also was my foe.
This bad girl had a crush on the same guy
I liked, and he was my best friend's brother.
For his attention both Margo and I
would vie, so we didn't like each other!
My best friend had two phone lines. On the end
of one of them, she let my enemy
then listen in on me as my best friend
was getting my confessions out of me!
Dang Margo heard them all! And I saw red.
I slammed the phone down, and then down the street
I marched to my friend's house. I felt no dread.
But great hurt filled me. I would not retreat!
I pounded on my friend's door righteously
because I'd felt as if I had been slapped.
My mom, unused to such display from me,
was so impressed, when I got home, she clapped!

End Note: Margo got pregnant right out of junior high and
had to marry Danny. They were divorced a few years later!
As i heard about the contest
'The most beautiful person'
i packed my luggage hurriedly
and ran in search of that lucky person.
First of all i recalled my teacher
leisure time creation of the God
if eye may judge the winner was she.
But me and my friends were bitten
several times ,without beautiful heart
how can winner may be she.
Next i saw a body builder
well balanced muscles and bones
But he was soon lost the contest
because he was made
for ownself not for others.
All Physical beauty killed by time
so smart personalities lost charm
to win the most beautiful person
contest without more harm.
After that i saw half naked boy
sharing his alms with stray dog
unwilling i followed him
to declare the most beautiful
but regret he kicked the same dog
when it followed him in love.
So the search for most beautiful person
is still on if anyone meet a person
who have the beautiful heart
at universal place and universal time
Give regard ,the title and salaam
on behalf of me and mankind.
What can I say other than that I’m bound, bound by the rooster’s call. A clarion call of divine arrangement, calling me to duty and so with my water gourd well balanced on my head, I make my way to the river. The leaves dripping water from dew of the night before, annoying flies perching on my nostrils as if they are caves to seek warmth. Happy faces, happy voices, happy people going to and fro with their water gourds well balanced on their heads sharing dreams of night before and plans of the ahead.
My water gourd clutched to my ribs protecting them from morning cold. I look around to see the best spot to fetch from as gourds clutter and water swishing and splashing, mud everywhere. The trees bowing in obeisance to the river which keeps pulling away with royal dignity, not to be touched by the green leaves. Oh proud crystal river! The trees bearing green leaves adorned with yellow, burgundy and purple flowers only want to show gratitude for your support!
There it was
Looking at me
My favourite spot

Living in a false vision,while creating illusions of bad decisions.In my past when my footsteps became ashes,I was stealing for others who really need it.I position myself in danger countless times for strangers with smiling faces who take advantage of kindness,weakness,and talents.But now that Im polished in my craft,Im well balanced surrounded with solid knowledge and display my wisdom that pays attention and listen before I solved them.With tunnel vision deciphering through the rumble and rewritten for those who gets misguided.Cause in my experience language is the true connection of us breathing,while others sleep and dream about living,manuevering through life in a empty body suit in flesh,that dont bleed or shed.Barricaded themselves in there own prison,even there reflection denies its own visit.Its ashamed many dont realize in life we have options to disengage derange or grab on tight to what feels right.I tend to go down memory lane,visualize those precious moments in the past,were all lies,giggles and laughs.But now that I found God,I disgarded my mask,to show my true demeanor and pave my positive mission everlast.
Sing me a song of a world in which everyone is equal
Read to me from a book of harmony that has a sequel
Tell me a tale of people who live a happy balanced life
Show me faces of men and women untouched by strife
Mathematically, an equation deals with variables and a solution
Environmentally, a well balanced world would have no pollution
Equalizing factors would never be determined by color or age
Every human would be treated alike, giving no cause for rage
Nature balances our climate; Spring is the time of new birth
Heat of Summer brings the rains, giving life to Mother Earth
Autumn is impartial, displaying fallen leaves in colored hues
Winter paints a cooler world in snow whites and icy blues.
Equations must be balanced, correct if both sides are the same.
Problems must be solved by everyone so peace we can claim.
Variables exist but all factors need values that can be measured.
It's the only way a viable solution will be found and treasured.

At six foot four, and an eighth of a ton,
A gentle giant of a man, he was;
Father to three, and himself a fine son,
Devoted husband to Jean, without pause.
Phone man, painter, in ocean liners he cruised,
Accompanied by family and friends;
Sweet song in his heart, but never the blues,
Wisdom and patience, in life his clear lens.
He loved a recipe, and showing concern,
With actions, like always asking about you;
His life well balanced, his legacy earned,
Sharing his Jesus—the Gospel's Good News!
Taking time for grandkids, he humbly shared,
Both time and his money, an open book;
Bouncing upon knees, for great grands he cared,
Teaching scriptures, over breakfast he’d cooked.
Eighty-two years was his Lord’s master plan,
Fifty-eight to a soulmate, solemnly wed;
What mattered most, to this giver of men,
Was baking and breaking, life’s finest bread.
A Soldier whose honor, served us all well,
Humbly he loved, these United States;
His strong Christian faith, now clear as a bell,
His given name, you ask? Twas—Walter Yates!
(Rest in Peace Dear Friend. We miss you, sir!)

Eat a well-balanced diet
Stay fit and active
Sleep well

Beautiful moments each day
Reveal that sometimes only a moment away
Peaceful moments are broken with earth’s violent response
To an unprovoked attack that we wish was just once
But what rises from a devastation of life
Is a spirit revealed, born out of strife
From a people well balanced in all that matters
That even with their world in tatters
A nation’s mind, body, and spirit is revealed
In ways that should never be concealed
Respect, love and caring for your fellow man
Is a healing of all that matters in a land called Japan
For Debbie Guzzi’s Tribute To Japan Contest
She contemplated life
Love
Quantum physics and religion
La raison d'être
The fact she could not cook
Her knowledge all well balanced on top of her head
Yet there she was puzzled
Of life and the dead
The whys and what’s
The how’s and the when’s
All that is not known
The library after all so Gothic and vast
In contemplation she began to mentally fast
There was one book though
In the midst of them all
About lovers and love
About the depth of it all
They called it Art
Arthur Vaso's tell all
Of passion and reason
Of intellectual treason
Her gaze exposed the whole in her heart
Imagine from a book
She discovered a new Art!
I’m King of ME
Sovereign ruler of this entity
Protecting borders from the enemies
Managing a well-balanced economy
I’m free in the land of ME
I’m King of ME
Where blue skies blush rosy in the morning sun
Where all my feelings are like children
In where tears and laughter run
Through the streets of life when lightning strikes
I stand my ground ~ In God I’m crowned
King of ME
On my shoulders bear responsibilities
What’s good for ME is a number one priority
By will I hereby royally decree for all that be
I’m King of ME
Pig feet, hog maws, chitterlings, yams, greens and cornbread,
These are some of the things that our bodies are being fed.
Fat back, ribs, neck bones, macaroni and cheese;
Our hearts and arteries are crying, please, please, please.
Buttered rice, succulent greasy peas and a thin-layered chocolate cake,
We keep pumping this in our bodies, so what is it going to take.
Hypertension, high cholesterol, or maybe even a heart attack,
To get us from eating these fatty foods and help us to face facts.
We have heard the old saying "You are what you eat."
More than half of the time our diets are incomplete.
We need to eat a well-balanced meal from the four food groups,
And every day at least five vegetables and fruit.
Drink eight glasses of water to help keep your system clean,
And one other food product that will provide some protein.
A little exercise and a good amount of rest,
Each of us is different, for you; you know what 's best.
This is not said to scold you, nor is it to criticize;
It is only put here to give you some healthy advice.
If we don't adjust the way that we are eating;
Sooner, rather than later our Master we will be meeting.
For your lunchbox or party, to keep hale and hearty
when it came to consumption of bread,
'six slices a day is the well balanced way'
was what the TV adverts had said.
Then the boffins agreed that the brown wholemeal seed
was healthier for us all but
they have now changed their minds and with research they find
that white slices are good for the gut.
Twenty units of beer we could drink without fear
we were told by the powers that be
but Chief medical advisor who's paid to be wiser
says fourteen is better for me.
Since Adam was weeding the garden of Eden
by wheat and by grape we've survived
ignore the statistics, have bread ,beer and biscuits
and just enjoy being alive.
The beauty and the age
All women engage
To age gracefully
Drink water, stay active and moisturize your skin faithfully
Eat a well balanced diet with fruits and vegetables tenaciously
Enjoy life to the fullest shamelessly
Too much tension can ruin your appearance mistakenly
Just like the sun so, block it
Take care of your locks or cut it or lock it
Exercise your brain with a puzzle or a memorizing game
This is a verse form for aging intervention proclaimed
A multivitamin is even better to maintain
