The heroic villainWe are the villains in a story they spun
We get the villain arc without being a villain
The storyline of a traumatic childhood
Living under a shadow
Constantly being misunderstood
Having to sacrifice ourselves for the greater good
Without being given credit of saving the world
What they don't tell you is how the hero is the coward
How...

The Looney At The Wishing WellI spend most of my
days at the wishing
well, tossing in loose
coins and spare change.
One wish for them,
one wish for me,
one wish for them,
one wish for me.
Only thing I ever ask
God or the universe
for myself is to
keep the cash flow
coming in.
Only thing I ever ask
God or the universe
for everybody else is
world peace and
maybe just...

Horror show
Jill Nando hosted "Crimewatch" a TV show
She was shot dead, who did it we don't know.
Lot of cases not solved, not even all crimes known
Keep a low profile or enter a danger zone.
Plutonium was found in Karen Silkwood's refrigerator
She was a whistleblower, did her company hate her?
She died a few days later in a fatal...

FALLEN SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF THE SOILWeep Africa, weep on.
The battle with death is one we dare not to fight,
For the call from the great beyond is outside the scope of our existence.
Just as our known hero Ngugi Wa Thiong'o has fallen,
Like countless unknown heroes forgotten to time,
We shall all follow this path of no return one by one.
Fight Africa, fight...

Shadow and FireI crawled through years where night fell fast,
where dawn was a rumor, faint and far.
Each day was a climb up a crumbling wall,
every step swallowed in shadows,
and the weight of the world bore down, pressed hard—
its whispers sharp, relentless.
Hope would come, a flicker, then fade,
a candle swallowed by each unkind wind.
I’d chase it like breath,...

In the presence of his variants, all resistance is futile.
He's heroic in one, yet tragic in multiversal......

Family menYou may know — she screamed a lot,
But you may not know that he was still holding her along.
They say, and they repeat,
Calling him the villain in stories incomplete.
Yes, he may seem inhuman and vile,
But not every man walks the same trial.
Remember — he is a...

Blew in swiftly, barely touching her feet on corn or land
We watched her flit here, there, under, over, around and through.
She got little accomplished but certainly entertained me and you....

Mr Potato
Mr. Potato
a.k.a., Spud Murphy
'I'll have another cigarette,'
as John Lennon (1940 – 1980) writ,
'And curse Sir Walter Raleigh (1552 – 1618)
he was such a stupid git.'
However,
(altho' to his cost)
it may have
gone to his head
(which, unluckily, later he lost),
Raleigh introduced
the noble potato
(the blight of Ireland)
into Britain — ca. 1586,
and what's more
tobacco it did eclipse,
so yes indeed, his...

Father's DayWhat is a father? One might ask. He is a species that helps the female of that species to produce life of an offspring. And, after that, is supportive in the development of the offspring. This would be a formal definition. However, where the development of the offspring to the female becomes present, the supportive...

In another life, I'd be your motherTo the world you are just a person
But to me you are the world
You are the rarest of the rare
To the point no one can compare
Every hug healing a piece of me you didn't break
Everytime you smile
I know that no matter what I go through
I'll always have you
You are my heart
And nothing...
