I see reports..Be they sponten'aic.? Or well?
Pre-crafted, it all hits systemic, if someone is Somalian or Mongolian..? Sometimes i hear, calls about the dystopian.! If a human states they are Chinese are they involved in
Racisam.? How do i? Or we see.? Or are you told of someones ethnic'sity before? how they will therefore' improve your country.? I have often heard these claims'
Yet the narrator knew scaresly a listener
To me its real strange.!
Am i being plain? There seems so much pre-judication de-facto, or in law-fare.' I see
Many pit-falls.' With fair answers rare, in a muddied river its so hard to move, without
Collision, All this is true.' We can all live better in health of mind, and the body of even your landmass..Can be also
kept healthy, if we help each other,
It
will..' For all must turn round.)
Hurt Europe
Starmer and Macron dislike leaving the scene of a crime, not yet concluded, they will meet for lunch to discuss how they can prolong the Ukraine war and help Zelinsky win over Putin’s Russia, they have been sidelined by Trump who wants peace and gets his praise, a Nobel Medal
Trump, the man doesn't want them meddling it is his alone, needs not a humiliated Europe to snag get their foot in with left-winged nonsense Rutte, the new NATO boss has read the ruins he talks about China to please the USA and thinks of sending troops to defend Indonesia.
After lunch, Starmer had lamb chops, Macron had oysters they walked to the Louvre and spoke about European culture, forgetting Europe is not a state but a landmass of many countries that might not share their knowledge of Rodin, later they went to Cabaret in Montmartre
Imagine those who are heading into Christmas,
Without a moral compass,
Now imagine that on mass,
For people who don't mow their grass,
Not just on one landmass,
Add in those who no longer go to mass,
And you can imagine what will come to pass,
For those without a moral to encompass this Christmas,
Unless we who still have a moral to encompass,
Do not let the them pass,
Without giving them a reason to mow their grass,
Before Christmas they decide to bypass,
And we too are left without a moral compass this Christmas.
the Big Island
It is a big island about the size of France, for a long time this island has been asleep so peaceful lemurs jumped along the jungle floor to reach the next tree, before
trophy hunters came together with missionaries and the people looking for gold.
Madagascar was once part of a supercontinent bigger
than Russia, called Gondwana where the inhabitants spoke 4 languages which was needed when traveling
through a landmass that had lakes the size of the Mediterranean Sea.
For a long time, South Gondwana was like Florida a place for the rich and elderly to retire and served by the local population who lived in small huts to not block the sea view of the rich, and the wealthy as usual could not understand why they were hated.
Revolution came, the army had for too long lived on bacon skin and gone obese, spears and swords too heavy
The vast country broke up into many parts that drifted about and settled like we see on the map today
But the dream remains, the dream you can walk naked
among palm trees and not get bitten by snakes
EARTH AND WATER
We : Earth and Water are twins
Earth ensuing diversity of Nature in plenitude.
Wonderful water welcomes life on Earth.
For life water is requisite to flourish flora and fauna.
Encore ! Water invigorates life on Earth to restore.
Water is amazing asset preserved in landmass and aqua flow.
Earth transforming transcending species on evolution.
Earth is the hospitable habitat : The only Solar Planet.
Who said?
Health isn't about politics!
Health shouldn't be about politics!
Health should be above partisan politics!
Healthy systems
are not about unchanging purity
and safety
and traditional dogma.
Healthy ego and eco systems
are much more about diversity
flexibility
and courageous curiosity
Just as wealthy economic networks,
local through global,
include ecological interrelationships
We might associate resonance
with polyculturally robust interactions,
personal and political,
Multiculturally resilient
dynamic stasis--
Slow inclusive
and diversely intricate
Beauty
cross-pollinating
climaxing inclusive diversity
Avoiding the monocultural purity
and calculating sobriety
of a 100% crabgrass landscape,
Or 100% concrete
Or 100% saltwater environment
with no above water healthy ecosystemic landmass
embedded in prehistoric
pure and safe
powerful but unenlightened
bedrock.
Ensuing diversity of Nature in plenitude
Amazing assets preserved in Atmosphere, Landmass and Aqua flow.
Rolling, recycling Natural resources
Transforming, transcending species on evolution.
Hospitable habitat: The only Solar Planet.
Done! - with the salted
Escape! .. to the dilute?
Like a lust temporal,
tames to river-quiet
Agreeable is a delta ~
Autochthonous rage of the sea,
dies in a landmass meandered
Venturing uphill's a slower viv...
Egos marine learning to abide
No superciliousness in sunken
trees and/ predictable current
United wills, to leave a bayou,
reach toward a snowy-topper
Echoing heights of water pure

Little Corona
declared one day
"I will be the strongest,
most powerful I say !"
"I shall conquer the world,
and establish my reign.
The world in my hands,
never free again !"
"The fittest shall survive,
as Darwin said.
And all the weaklings,
will sadly be dead"
"Ridden with fever,
cough and cold,
the world will suffer,
the young and the old...."
"My reign will start
where its most populated,
I think its China"
little Corona speculated.
"I will then go on
to the Americas,
the world's most famous,
celebrated landmass."
"And that's not the end"
little Corona went on,
"I will destroy the world,
my reign will go on !"
"I will make sure,
none can escape, NONE !!
Try as hard as they might,
to fight me or run."
"I am the most powerful,
and I am very clever.
I will conquer the world,
You can defeat me NEVER !!"
Or so Corona thought,
being little and immature.
But man is much smarter,
and will certainly find a cure !
If Newton hadn't done his thing
How would we all stay down
Pythagoras said his pies are square
And that the world is round
Columbus sailed an open sea
And found a landmass there
If Einstein had no relatives
Would M C still be square
Now Alexander Graham Bell
And this might sound quite drastic
Without his input all of us
Would talk to lumps of plastic
Fleming gave us penicillin
He made it out of mould
While good old Bill Lord Kelvin
Gave us ways to say we're cold
Armstrong took just one small step
Which then he said was giant
Some say it was all a fib
But NASA stands defiant
But all of that is history
It's stuff that's gone before
What a shame it is that we
Don't make it anymore
Royal blue sky scattered sapphire clouds
On horizon embroidered in navy blue attire
Summoned by the onset of marigold sun
Emitting amber gold on tuscan yellow fire
Where tapestry of fluffy lavender floats
Decorating patterns of designs periwinkle
Mosaic of colors then spray-paint the water
Spreading a layer of golden yellow cover
Shimmering gold dust on twilight ripples
Abutting brushstrokes of dark blue egyptian
I saw you briefly where first time we met
On the lonely bridge that extends into bay
But as the dark landmass peeked its head
And the lifeless vegetation glinted despair
The tangerine breeze announced your exit
Quivering our aura beneath glittering riffle
For you refused to witness impending flame--
Broken vows ablaze in last breath of sunset

Poem of the day on August 7, 2018
Placed first in standard contest #180 by Brian Strand
A landmass discovered in 1492,
A country established for me and you,
Now cover darkness with scenery,
Plastered “purple mountain majesties”.
O’ beautiful for spacious skies,
Gun violence conducts the children’s cry,
For amber waves of grain,
Nothing ceases the infinite pain.
America, America,
Hear our roaring plea,
America, I ask America,
For a great change to see.
Remember Lady Liberty,
Who stands to represent prosperity,
“I lift my lamp beside the golden door”,
Except today light shines no more.
What caused Eric and Dylan to hold the gun
What induced Nickolas Cruz to shoot then run
There should’ve been a stop since the days this begun
Now Adam Lanza pulled the trigger and then there was none.
America, America,
Lets initiate this peace treaty
America, now I ask America,
When are we really free?
The land of Baobab and Acacia sassa trees
The proud land of our forefathers.
The home of the fastest animal on earth - Cheetah
The oldest inhabited territory on Earth,
Who handed treasure of wisdom down to us
The most-populous landmass.
The place of origin of humans and the Hominidae clade.
The land of the the most abundant antelope, the impala
The land of sunshine and bird songs
Cut almost equally in two by the Equator
It straddles the equator and encompasses numerous climate areas
Hosts a large diversity of ethnicities, cultures and languages
Africa's has landscapes of many changes.
With beaches, rain forests, islands and dunes,
its climate keeps you guessing all afternoon
Contains an enormous wealth of mineral resource and
largest numbers of megafauna’s species
From her Warthog to her Giraffe,
from her Impala
to her ground, bound Ostrich,
Africa's home to so, much wonder,
that it's hard to leave this land, down under!
Human race is in trial
wealth forces society apart
power smashes society apart
race slices society apart
color scatters society apart
religion shatters society apart
mistrust puts society apart
gender pushes society apart
ideology pulls society apart
landmass creates society apart
greed fragments society apart
parochialism cuts society apart
This homeland of apartness
that should be one in unity
and unity in loving oneness
bleeds of wounds of apartness
carries scars of apartness
Human race, arise!
Let’s crash this monster
The fanged serpents are uncoiled
And they have encircled the landmass
From the Mediterranean to Euphratis and Tigris
And Paris
They hiss, they hiss.
IS is a snake
With claims fake
Eclipsing Bagdad and neighbourhood
With a huge hood.
ISIS is no Nile-flooding Isis
With any Osiris!
ISIS is an acronymic onomatopoeia
Uncoiled now and coiled then
With a long dia.
ISIS is hiss, hiss is IS
ISIS, ISIS.
