What To Expect Immature People Of Democracy
If time of bad desire
Sits its rejection then,
It has crossed the limit.
When government gets err,
People suffer with rage.
If their rights neglect
Electing leaders by money
Tampered, pre-meditated
Betrayed by ill digital,
What democracy we expect
What progress we proceed
Sooner it invite violence.
The good is being assailed
For good men done nothing.
What do evil will do here
But to steal, to kill
Eventually, to

New Year, that same Wish
Another year goes past, they just fly and never seem to last,
The resolutions I dream in my head, all hanging there by a thin cotton thread,
Some I make because it's what others expect, but the real ones nobody can every detect,
The wish that is there constantly, is that you would come back to me, on

Lessons You Don’t Expect
Lessons you don’t expect are the best kind
Like broken bones and hearts
But also, even better
The kind of things small children teach
Things like appreciation of now
And play and unbridled enthusiasm
For what can be
Just around the corner
Because, you know, we all deserve
The best life we can have
Including broken bones and hearts,
What waits around that corner,
And whatever is

Premonition
Who’s not a victim of absurd
Lend me some rationality
To see the best side of the world
I need your bright reality
Won’t you show me how it works
That I'm charged for the actions of those
I didn't vote for and never trust
What does this paradox logic impose?
How could I disarm the army?
If you know, then please reveal
Bear

Expect Changes
Expect changes that you know will grow this love in time
Expect these changes which should not be dreaded, but open each of our hearts like ROSE BUDS
Expect changes of a frantic bride waiting for her groom.
The types of changes which tips its hat to an AUTUMN AFTERNOON. Expect fiery changes that may consume

super teachers expect students to follow the golden rule
super teachers expect all students to follow the golden rule
they do not want even one to act like a bully-fool.
Picking on others and making them cry is only fun
For a really sad child whose life has been horrible, son.
Children who are not treating others kindly, teachers have to know.
They sometimes can help a child whose

Expect miracles
By Michelle Morris

Let it all go now
Always expect miracles
The Universe has your back
You were born to be invincible
For your Soul is an eternal essence
Fashioned from starlight and stardust
You are a miracle and filled with magic
A reminder that we're fabulous
So

Expect Only This
We read of so and so and her sad ending,
wince perhaps, as if time had just run out.
of its burning house.
Sadness is an acknowledgement.
that we knew all along
that the world would swallow
every face we ever looked upon.
Most eulogies
are a murmuration of dying words,
half-truths told to the rushing crowd.
and the headlong years.

A love does not ask, does not expect, does not fight, it simply exists
A love does not ask, does not expect, does not fight, it simply exists,
In the silence between heartbeats, where time seems to stand still,
Where stars reflect in the tears of the night,
And where dreams intertwine with memories, in a dance of destiny.
In the depths of the soul, where secrets are held sacred,
