We set upon a journey
That would make us great
We decided to love our neighbors
Instead of embracing hate
We opened our hearts to the poor
A roof over every head
We measured our speech
Considering what we said
Discriminating unacceptable
Not afraid of history
Truth not a fabrication
Helping others our ministry
We took back handouts
The rich had enough
Money for education
medicine and other stuff
We protested for others
Sacrificing what we could
It was not just about us
We considered the greater good
Right mixed with left
Divisions all blurred
America became Great!
“We the People” had the final word.
The above is my hope for America.

Porky Pig once stopped by my butcher shoppe
Pig was not looking for any old slop
He searched high and low
Meat tasted like crow
'Please, Elmer, one pound of strings from your mop’

For a consecutive 6 weeks,
You helped a project of "putting the lipsticks on the pig".
Has the fence not damaged by the strangers,
We would not have worked together.
You helped keeping me safe from outsiders,
Prevent people invading into my living quarters,
But, you had stolen the key to my heart's locker,
Made me seeing the fence as a reminder.
Let it bleed inside my mind,
It hurt all days and nights,
Despite I have tried,
The pain and heartache have not ended.
Remember those dots I used,
They were exactly how I felt at the time,
But did not know you well enough to share my inner feelings,
Should never have those feelings in the first place.
It was never your false,
You did not encourage nor give me any wrong messages.
It was me who was so vulnerable,
Growed an affection and invested emotion feelings on you.
I never blamed you terminated our friendship,
If there was any of it.
However. I loathed you for disrespecting me and discriminating me being part of dirty system.

I didn't compare
Neither did I compete
I'm always in my lane
Yet they're always against me
Steadily plotting my ruin
Just to humiliate and rule over me.
Steadily, they attack
My self confidence
Trying to tame or break me
Steadily them be bullying
Giving me all sort of names
Trying to shame me
They ain't my maker
So I'm unshakeable and unbreakable.
My mistakes
Their empowerment
They all act like they're perfect
Steadily discriminating me
Causing calamity in our country
Ruining our unity
Forgetting United we stand
They mislive and misaligned
Just for instant gratification and selfish goals.

I know,
it is 2024
When a best artist paint
mix different colours
While drawing something on the board.
He will end up happily
As the outcome will be super.
I can say loud,
" Best
Artist
Paint
always appreciates his final product."
What can astonish me the most,
To see a man of certain
colour skin
Sleeping with a woman
of other colour skin
At the end of their enjoyment
Comes a mixture colour child
Then a man end up discriminating
His own child
While claiming publicly...
He " she" is not of his colour skin.
Can you call this man
" Best
Artist
Paint "
Does he really understand
the beauty of mixture
colours?
Look at this World
visit this World and
see different colour skins
Of many folks.
Don't ask who painted them well
Remember they are
many painters
Out there.

Define or describe a Circle
Okay here goes
I will try and give it my best shot
A Circle per day
Is when people say for example who have
Been and experienced first hand
Oppression any form of discrimination or abuse
Modern generations more liberated and emboldened
Somehow appropriate for and to serve themselves
And end up becoming the oprresors and abusers
Discriminating , indiscriminately spiteful hate against
Anyone that has a different opinion or viewpoint
Because you aren't welcome or to be tolerated
Sound familiar the very definition of
Complete gone full
Circle

Discrimination of human being over the years
It was an un answered question for me for all these years
I have been searching ,asking ,finding the answer
For all these years
I have found an answer to myself
Happiness is the prime key,aspect for a human being to discriminate the other..
Yes ,happiness is the key factor for discrimination
Human finds happiness in degrading others in terms of character ,in terms of culture.
Caste discrimination in india
Color discrimination in America
Country might be different but the character of human will be the same ,The gene behaviour is the same ,human being happiness lies in discriminating the others..human gene never likes equality .
The adenine thymine guanine cytosine likes no equality discrimination lies in the genes..
Happiness is the key for all human being who have been discriminating others over the years.
Human gene likes no equality..
human likes discrimination in reality

We are watching TV news indicating catastrophes, people
discriminating and being prejudiced against others while
sinning, doing bad things, telling lies and environmental
problems created at Camp LeJeune.
Breaking rules should be in there somewhere.
Why do people write, "Letters to the Editor" anyway?
What do they want to gain from their letter? Article
might be an expression of dissatisfaction, disagreement
and doubt. They may be filled with animosity also
We could be giving credit where credit is due, being
positive, patient, loving and kind.
People have been killed or injured, affected by bad
weather, calamities and health problems. and
things that are terrifying.
We must give credit where credit is due. What you
give out is what you will receive in return. Give out
love, kindness and mercy and will receive the same
back.
Do not criticize others to build yourself up. Encourage
others to do good and better themselves. Would be
interested in reader's comments regarding this article
that I have written.

Remember yesterday
Remember the old days
Remember what we used to say
Remember the plays
Oh! We shall never forget
Because we are not set yet
Remember the luscious trips
Remember the hot lips
Remember the posh hotels
Remember the teeny motels
Oh! We shall not go into details
Oh! Remember the tattletales
Remember, remembrance
Of the good stuff and the nonsense
Remember, remember
When we were younger
Now we’re older, smarter
And wiser, we act dumb and dumber
Nobody knows why that we are like that
Thank God, we’re still normal and not fat
Like the strangers and the neighbors who are spying
And harassing us from winter to spring
Remember the good and bad times
That’s life. That’s letting the words and the rhymes
Flow like streams and rivers in autumn
The yellow leaves swim and slide per ton
Remember everything without discriminating
As we ponder, wonder, sigh, dream, and sing
And swing apart somewhere
Remember, remember.

Revealing what may be
rhetorical perspective
Concealing vagueness of
others as a collective
Irrational is the truth
from all the official lies
Impractical to expose
those once thought so wise
Anonymously to be judged,
I then had to reflect
Inconspicuously to be ignored,
just show me respect
Dismissiveness from others
can be so undeserved
Submissive assumptions
repeatably observed
Deception experienced in
an inferiority disguise
Exceptions delusional
fundamentally they deny
Concerning yet I do
appropriately understand
Discerning discriminating
principles are at hand
Generated tremendous
excitement and in debate
Sedated by unparalleled
contributions dictate
Double standards and chauvinists,
there’s no doubt
Troubles considerable,
as they would openly flout

mellifluous cooing of the Indian koel
enlivening in wee hours of the morn
infusing in soul voids deep joy until
crows croak found tranquility shorn
narrow and prejudiced is our vision
discriminating against the jarring note
condemning without seeking permission
from heart that unconditional love emotes
moment to moment we keep on judging
oblivious to divine beauty below the skin
stuporous attention thus keeps oscillating
within narrow orbits we continue to spin
