Premium MemberThe Maturation of Soulful Thoughts II

Buried in the depths of my soul is the unrealized hope of a full explanation
Covered over by shovels full of doubt and thoughts regressed
Brilliance which lost its edge from lack of use lies in a state of degradation

Can hope with its own will stir once again the creative mind
Bringing forth seeds of thoughts that demand

Educational Slavery

They called it knowledge—
but it came in cages,
neatly bound in books
with no windows to the sky.
We were fed with answers,
but starved of questions,
trained to remember
but never to awaken.

They taught us numbers,
but never how to count
what truly matters.
They gave us alphabets,
but stripped the poetry from our speech.
We learned the names of kings—
but not the dignity of

How To Make Love Part 5

Every hammer needs a nail
Every tunnel needs a train
Don’t fly off the handle at every turn
Speeds increase to the unknown
Curves know their way around the bend
Stay on the rails as gravity sometimes pretends
A bumpy ride is up ahead on tracks laid down
“No return” stamped on tickets to the “void”

HEALTHY EATING

The food that supposed to be
Healthy, has underline 
Plus, damaging
Chemicals inside that’s not
Good for your body
Sugar free supposed to be
Sugar free but it’s loaded with
Fructose that’s harmful
For people with diabetes

Educational Poetry and the Hearts of Men In the School System

Taking educational poetry to a new level
Digging into history helped me write several poems
About the harsh realities of teachers in the school system
Letter after letter I smash on the page
Hoping teachers will not be stuck in a cage
Some teachers play war games 
Taking the names of other teachers 
And trying to dirty their performance

Educational Journeys

A catalogue came in the mail
Of places I could visit,
Descriptions of the journeys
Both exotic and exquisite.

The trips were educational,
For travel and for learning,
With some possible connections
To new friends upon returning.

The itineraries beckoned –
Every country you’d consider
If you had the savings ready
And the time that you could fritter.

So I thumbed through all the pages
Of the places

Premium MemberI Will Survive Nursery Rhyme


During the spring, as flowers begin 
To smile with different blooms
Before the summer knows it’ll win
Erasing the chill from the air
Whispering warmth everywhere…

There, amid the buds and petals
Quietly waiting for its breakfast
On a long, leafy stem it settles,
Greener than the trees, happy to be
The worm who prays on bended knee…

Remembering that his maker, God
Holds the

Our Educational System

"Welcome to us"; we promise to give you a hard time.
Here, everything that isn't studying is a crime.
What? Few hours of studying is too less.
We apologise, but we couldn't be bothered about your stress.
Hobbies are forbidden under us.
Children take time, but they gradually adjusts.

I'll tell you a fact.
People were aware, but they didn't react.
We do

Potato

Potato – (almost didactic)


Let your potato grow
Water it monthly in Earth like soil     
Become one with the potato
Keep it out of the reach of children

Become two potatoes if you must 
Multiply them by ten then subtract 
Watch TV with dip and chips
Become a couch potato
Sit

And picked up a little more knowledge
If only I knew
I’d soon ask if you
Want ketchup on your hotdog sausage

The kids put the program guide back on 
Each station had way too much crap on
Then mum said hey kids
Watch one of dad’s vids
And soon Tim said Mum, what’s a strap on?

School Is More Than Educational

School builds social skills 
through everyday events 
more than educational
it's life experience 

If you do not know people 
How can you advance 
Learn the skills you need or 
You haven't got a chance 

Let your mind expand
Don't value wage or stature 
If you learn to understand 
you'll get more satisfaction

Premium MemberWhat Is Your Educational Philosophy

What is your philosophy? The expert at work asked.
He was putting on airs, and I simply wanted to pass.
What are your educational theories and dichotomy? He demanded.
I thought him arrogant and off-putting, and ever so highhanded.

It was my first second at this school, not in the building yet.
I was carrying six boxes, and holding two

Making Love

Making love is like a trip to the bakery
Sweet like pastry without the calories
Use spoons over forks and knives
It is like a ship with sails unfurled
Stretched out in the arms of love at sea

It is like nothing else on Earth not even butter
If you have never done it don't worry about others
You can always start
