Never chased clout Steady Self reliance Believing in hard work Consistence in all he does Some people's love Comes with intentions So; he's steadily relying on self Without pretence or defence No alliance Just self reliance Only God his supplier or...

All I can do!
Because that is all I can do! Influence the little spheres where I have presence! A little space for all my voices! Voices that speak choices, Choices that direct violence! Violence so benevolent, benevolently left for your choices! Because that is all I can do! Speak truthfully in all ways, Weigh what is on my mind, and temper it with the wind. And wind up my...

Premium Member short nails can do work
Six fancy ladies came for tea Wearing painted six-inch-long fingernails They could barely pick up their cups I have no idea how they put on their stockings They wore shiny sequin party dresses Most had been to the beauty shop Their hostess’s nails were short She had been working in the kitchen all morning. The finger foods were super delicious. Stories and laughter prevailed. Kids...

Can-Do Attitude
It's a question of what you can do. Well, I can work. That's what I can do. Yet, I can't be with people or be friendly. I just don't have it within me. That's why I'm outside. For this, I remain on my hill, on my descent. It's a crescent just for you and me. Just think, it's a fact, and that's just...

Who can do it ?
Who can reassure me? That is the question, Maybe the weasel, Maybe the cherry tree? Such is the question, Who can reassure me? Maybe Josephine? Maybe Marion? Or July, Who can reassure me? Maybe the poet friends, Who knows anything about it? The rhyme ignores the rose, That is the question, Who can reassure me? Maybe the weasel Or the snow of Antan, Maybe the cherry tree? Who...
