Price of Freedom
An old man once said: Freedom isn’t free As a child, I grew up, never understanding those words. As an adult, I learned, the tree of freedom is watered with blood. I thought we had paid enough. But as trees wither without water, so does freedom without its tribute. As such I hoped, we could pay with sweat and duty. But once again-we choose red......

Premium Member In Duty's Name - A Linking Pin Sonnet for Memorial Day
Duty calls from valleys deep and wide, Wide like hearts where brave resolve does bide. Bide the storms, through fire and endless rain, Rain of trials met with a calm refrain. Refrain from fear when darkness clouds the sky, Sky holds hope where eagles dare to fly. Fly with honor carved in steel and soul, Soul forged firm in sacrifice and role. Role...

THE WAY THEY ARE TREATED BACK
The God residing in the sky, Looks at us with pity, But then he is helpless, Against our cruelty's tall and strong fortress. I can see her in pain, But her cries are all in vain, The grief in her heart, Has stuck herself to the pillar of grief. The children who provided you the joy of being a parent, Are thrown into orphanages...

When Duty Becomes Love
The one who cries without tears, without a sound— That’s a father. The one who wears the cracks of his children’s fate Like bangles on his own wrist— That’s a father. New shoes enter the house, But his soles are worn down to nothing— That’s a father. The one who dreams through others' eyes, And carries those dreams in his heart— That’s a father. It’s true,...

Premium Member Apollo and Dionysus: A Debate
Fair Dionysus, friend to all that’s small, Rememberest thou 'divinity' at all? Amidst thy congress here with drunks and whores, Does any finer thing escape their roars? The greater beauty lies in greater thought: So, bless the seeker, not the stolid sot! And do they ever look upon a star As aught beside a torch to find the bar? Thou tends thy flock...

A Believers Duty Miracle Man 10/21/2024 From the words of Jesus we dare not budge, though our feet are slipping on we trudge. Many time’s we listen, not lending an ear, we ignore his solutions while living in fear. How do we explain the message we’re sending, If we read God’s word and appear condescending. Our failure to witness comes at extreme cost, when we...
