Magna Carta

Charter that determined
the King does Not 
have absolute power 
for he may not reign at his own
self-centered whim, nae!
much of his authority must be
siphoned off
Relinquished to
Earls, Lords, Barons, Bishops
Knights no longer must blindly obey
The king and his subjects convened on the
dewy emerald green meadows 
Of Runnymede

King John was compelled to sign the Magna Carta
With

Freedom to Transact - Bitcoin Poem 078

The core of basic freedoms
Is the freedom to transact
This underpins the other rights
In the Magna Carta pact

The crux is private property
To use, or hold, or trade
Our time, our land, our energy
Our work - our fortune made

King John was forced to sign it
Holding tyrants to account 
So that we can all stand free
With our liberty paramount

Why,

Uma Carta De Amour

Uma Carta de Amour 

A letter of love I never wrote
“But I remember it well.”
as Maurice Chevalier sang
Once, I loved a dolphin
A swam along the ship 
We sang a duet
People said the cook is mad again
The man is crazy again
As the dwellers on iron ship
Who had a pedestrian love affair
With **** magazines
This unequal affair of

Magna Carta

You once gave to me something,
you now want to take back

But its cord is umbilical,
my soul thus attached

The title to the future
in invisible ink

Bleeding free your reluctance
—inextricably linked

The Magna Carta 804 Years Later

For the first time in human history we are breaking free from religion,
have political systems that see us have a say,
and leaders we can challenge and remove from power,
that can and will be punished legally by law,
through our system of Rule by Law that no one is above or an exception to. 

804 years ago

Premium MemberA Special Letter Found Carta De Anais a Sus Tres Hijos

Visiting my father, I noticed the old garage
could use a little fixing up.
     He had boxes stacked up, and clutter to 
the very top.

     We all started up and down that garage
picking and cleaning, dusting and sweeping.
      Suddenly, a letter tucked in

Im So Much Better For the Magna Carta

I’m So Much Better for the Magna Carta

I feel so much better for the Magna Carta,
Can trace atheism and humanism’s roots, 
Can define that moment of clarity, 
When individualism and free-thinking were to rule and roost; 
I know the time philosophy changed, 
From people as state/monarchy property, 
To making their liberty into the king’s concern,

A Magna Carta For the Web

We live in a pluralistic world and society, 
Where there's many diverse groups: 
Different communities and religions -
About that you can't go through any hoops. 

The web should enable all to function, 
Free, empower and give identity; 
Speech and spoken language are not certified, 
So why restrain those who kindle controversy? 

A healthy web promotes

The Original Magna Carta

The Magna Carta changed the rule of law,
That is, what the law was and who it was for, 
From being a simple, dashing validation of the king, 
To being about truth, reason and justice free-standing. 

The Charter came into existence in 1215 with a rebellion,
Against King John and how he forced his will:
He could seize

Carta Para Papa

Desde chiquita deseaba
llenarte de orgullo lo triste
fue que nunca se pudo. 

Buscaba del padre que nunca
supo ser; pero no por eso perdí 
la fe. 

A veces te visitaba en el taller 
en que trabajabas y terminaba
ensuciándome las manitas con
las piezas que te lavaba. 

Que feliz me sentía creyéndome
tu ayudante pero esa memoria 
duro solo un

Carta De Despedida

Amor,
Te escribo de mi puño y letra y con mi corazón en la mano
quizas mis palabras no las quieras escuchar y te causen daño
disculpame si estoy siendo fuerte contigo en este escrito
pero necesito decirtelo sino quizas terminé cometiendo un delito
tu amor fue la razón de toda esta emoción llenandome de inspiración
ahora que amas a otro

Carta De Amor

Hola amor recibiste me llamada
Acaso leiste mi carta de amor,
Tocó tu corazón mi querida amada
Al leer esas palabras de pasión

Este tiempo que hemos estados apartados
Como agonía ha sido para mi vida,
Tu rostro lo llevo en mi mente retratado
Eres mi luz en mi oscura avenida

Desde tu sonrisa hasta tu forma de dormir
Que puedes hacer para que
