(“Conceived in Light”, 2017, original encaustic) Miss Information Everywhere you look Everything you hear Reverberates and reveals The seductive power of Sophia Catching our eye and ear Whispering morsels of truth Seeding our own discombobulated minds With enough material To sustain a hundred Amazon basins.

A Rat's Prodding
A wet patch of wa-ter glints unusual! It was my ears that it re-flected, sand or dust or what-ever it wasn’t no more, got every-where; es-pecially bet-ween my grey hairs. It didn’t matt-er, I wasn’t thirsty no more. Scurry-ing off to… what was it called again? Wooood. Yes, wood boards dis-carded, they say. May-be food? Could be,...

The sun arced in the north, it just couldn’t be The earth was flat in those days, everyone did agree. When they reached home, the crowds...

Premium Member Feline Hierarchy
Charlie was a gentleman yielding to her wants; always first to eat jumped ahead in line. Felisha was her name; first, before he joined. Ranking ruled her mind- so he must obey. Letting her steal treats and his favorite lap; passing him in halls while bopping his head. She died at thirteen. He lived until twenty- missing her so dearly. Charlie was a gentleman. ...

PARADIGM SHIFT
In the medical field where hierarchies reign, Students’ growth can be stifled by the chain. Boss’s word, as stone inscribed, Leaves one baffled, thoughts denied.

If we could look back to those neolithic times, When early man would walk and roam. There was a need for some kind of leadership Or hierarchy, whether away or at home. My guess is that they looked to the biggest or Strongest, not necessarily the wisest...

Premium Member Our Souls' Wishes and the Hierarchy of Needs
There was a man named Maslow, who designed a hierarchy of needs for every soul. Foremost are the physiological. Without food, water or sleep, we can’t be whole.

I Am a Boy Living In a Country
I’m a boy living in a country where We get emotional over every government move And every government move is chartered over our emotions Emotions are chastised whether it or let be One trying to correct the wrong, But nay, one man ain’t a power as strong One trying to convince for the good of his province?
