Premium Member An Ebon Human Nature Perspective
Pity, we’re not on their endangered species list; Just the list of who should be least cared about:- They fight for red wolves, but still erode ebon lives; we’re endangered too:- What an abomination, In our nation, In today’s situation:- For our lives to matter, Time for us to gather, And get it all together: Pandemic is the Oppressor Syndrome; We, oppressively murdering our own:- Let us be...

Silken Dust
They say, Be not moved by gold, Nor charmed by crowns, Nor swayed by faces Carved like the dawn. But by hearts that give Without asking for more, By spirits clothed in grace, Stitched with kindness. Yet we—fragile beings, Spun from dust and desire, Bow often to the gleam, Reaching for what glitters. They say, Let the heart lead the way, Let the soul discern freely, That true beauty lies In soft-spoken...

Premium Member A PARADOX OF NATURE
They scream war for peace, Not peace for loving kindness; Human nature stoked:- War bombing for peace, No thoughts of building for love; Wintering hate still dropping:- Bombs drop like fall leaves, Busting storms keep blood gushing; Healing spring postponed. ...

New Years Old Wishes In a world wrangled with wild wars Between two developed nations, With civil deaths a sad eyesore And a bane to human reason, With harsh tension and violence Elsewhere one can daily witness, Stemming from lack of tolerance, Wrecking homes and lives with distress, With a few basking in plenty, Overwhelmed...

Premium Member Ernie won't bite
I walked in Draper Park Saw a family at a table, heard a dog bark "Ernie's friendly," said the Mommy, "he won't bite" A large goofy dog came at me, seemed alright. Ernie growled, maybe because I smelled of beer Or maybe because I didn't let him sniff my rear But in Ernie's genes, a wolf pack in the night from pet...

Misplaced Maternal Instinct, Part II
...And I suppose therein lies the rub, since society as a whole is not like mother and child, it does not fit into such roles. To grow feelings are sometimes hurt, in fact they are guaranteed to, and half the time the push-and-pull is what generates something new. And often the failure in those we see who claim they’re ‘victims’ and ‘oppressed,’ tells others what...

Misplaced Maternal Instinct, Part I
I head an interesting thought on the state of the world today, about the wokeness, the PC, and why we’re degrading this way, That tied it to something that we often celebrate quite a lot, that would be maternal instinct, the kind that most women have got, that’s why we’re seeing such softness, such growing degeneracy, is that they’re placing this instinct on the whole of...

Premium Member Heretic
Giordano Bruno looked up at night Suggested stars were suns, not just points of light Planets might circle those many suns They might even have life, we might not be the only ones The Church called his words a crime, not just a mistake For this heresy, they burned him at the stake. If your ideas undermine the narrative, you're...

Love Is Not Always Love, Part II
...In fact, these truths are nothing new, the Jews and the Christians knew well that love disordered is nothing more than an expressway to Hell. That evil will misuse your live, something that was made to be great, and with it lead you somewhere dark, all with a smile on your face. The emotion we value most, now a tool to make your life...
