So many masks
So many motions
Masking so well for so many years, who is she?
Not even knowing how to give and receive love.
Tears of old flow occasionally
Leaving burning red eyes in their wake.
Wounds of years past mostly scarred over
Some like lingering scabs, just a scratch, and it would bleed.
Healing isn’t hours, days, weeks, or months.
Healing takes years
Healing doesn’t make it disappear
It just makes it livable.
Forever changed
Never the same.

No, I tell you, Elon Musk, I will not
Go to Mars, it is dry, and has pink nights
and wind-blown days
Settlers will live in caves without
dogs and cats to make life on Mars
livable without caresses
No, Musk, I refuse to go unless your
assurances the cave living will be
temporary and live will last forever
I have found a planet that is lefty
Where right is left and left is right
with a teddy bear for every child
How it came about
It is impossible to imagine an endless Room
and no planets, and that one of them had
the possibility of life, planet Earth
A friendly planet not given to extremity, it
also had a temperate climate, sometimes it
could have been millions of years later, but
Since time didn't exist, that is academic
Green plants grew in soft soil, our planet
was that green fruit in the trees a livable place
without animal life, an abiogenetic period
That gave the beginning of what we call life
Finally, the emergence of the humanoid
that had a thinking brain that could solve
the problems of daily life and hunting
It is worth noticing that a creator was absent
But that and its many wars it caused were
endless war between races and their odd
faiths, based on an abstract Paradise
Not seeing our Paradise is also our planet
A New Planet
For me, it is too late.
But had I been young, I would
Have done my utmost to find another planet
Livable for humans.
Think of it as a planet without borders
Not carved up into countries and rivalries
And threats from states with big land.
Just one continent where anyone could travel
Where they wanted no passport controls
Or unsightly walls.
A planet without religion to upset the peace
And of course, no political parties
No rules set by the mighty, the authority
Who diverts rivers without asking the people?
In short, a planet for the people and
Animals in the wilderness.
Alas, since humans are settlers.
They will take their flaws along
and in time screw it up
Live, die, repeat!
Live, die, repeat!
Live, die, repeat!
Listen to these words from me,
Bitter,
not sweet.
Live,
Die,
Repeat!
In the realms of my world,
it's live,
die,
repeat!
Every time I live it,
it's like I go to sleep.
Especially at the end,
where I hear a final beat,
I can't help being terminal,
we all have an ending,
some subliminal.
Mine's written in the proverbs,
like it's proverbial,
Non-profitable,
non-livable.
Though I live it now,
and will till I fall and crumble,
Crash and stumble,
forward tumble.
Through the chaos and the pain,
I stand tall,
In this cycle of life,
I give it my all.
With every breath,
I fight,
I strive,
In this d 'n' b rhythm,
I stay alive.
In the realms of my world,
it's live,
die, repeat!
Every time I live it,
it's like I go to sleep.
Especially at the end,
where I hear a final beat,
I can't help being terminal,
we all have an ending,
some subliminal.
Live, die, repeat!
Live, die, repeat!
In this d 'n' b anthem,
I find my beat.
Live,
Die,
repeat!

Among the trials and challenges
the Lord of Life hands us,
I find them more livable
in Smith Center, Kansas.
True wealth of a nation,
humble dignity of its people,
down to earth statesmenship,
bowed heads under a steeple.
The center of our nation,
strong heart of our soul,
wisdom rooted in the fields,
the cherry in the bowl.
1. Humble gifts of Mother Nature: Free Verse: Humility
She gave a mixture of measured
Traces of gases to make a livable
Blend of air for lives to breathe well
She gave a magical potion
With rich nutrients to exist and sustain
All living things on this dear Earth
She spread ethereal carpet
Of soil to store, grow, regulate food to live,
For lives to recycle again
She stashed and stowed away fine rocks
To hold the mass good with unwavering strength
Bestow minerals to live well
She is so humbly rich to give
Such elegant presents to all lives on earth
Unworthy mankind took it all
2. Humble gifts of Mother Nature: Etheree: Humility
She,
Gave us
Air, Water, Soil,
Precious things that hold
Took million years to make
To help lives live and sustain
Balanced living - she wished to create
It floated for a while till a dawn
When human thought to use it all for self
Spoiled the gift, spoiled the giver, and failed terribly overall.
I'm a disease uncurable
I've seen the unseable
I've outlived the livable
I've danced with a crippled
I'm the unfortunate events
I'm the prosecutor of the prosecutes
I've lived through hell
I danced with sin
I pronce my words
a little thin
I'm only human
with enough bagged
with a bottle of jin.
My heart is as light as a feather
All my dreams come true
I fall so easily over and over for you
The times have found us
It's all so different at a thrill
Excuses Excuses produces
Imperfections
Stand up and pray for longevity
Liquid aggravation has no place
In this life
Make haste now
Rich with fever for more of life's
Satin satisfactions
Anticipation is at every turn
I will say that life is livable but
I ask how shall I live?
Flamboyance major excitement
And fanfare and happiness and
Happenings or adopt introvertive
Qualities?
That's the distinguishing question
Maybe its not too late to learn how to love and forget how to hate;
Quote by: Ozzy Ozbourne
Two sides of the same coin
one hinders you and has no livable value
the other is something you cannot purloin
from moss to trees...
growth is expansion from...
some point...
some-where in...
a livable time-space zone...
on such as rounded planet earth...
where no reality is perfect...
and growth is random manifestation...
of branching as fractured spheres and circles...
non forms of perfection fractures are called fractals...
like unto tree branch abstract circular forms...
being that pi doesn't actually exist in reality...

Optimal time progressed at the same rate as streamflow.
This puzzling exhibit remains an outline of life's sorrow.
A prized prospect exerts a massive effect on a sparkle blow.
An icy brook under his nimble feet grants him richly bestow.
The eternal darkness is enlightened as the truth might grow.
Livable cities burned to the ground seem like a subdued glow.
Lasting impressions are likely caused by vitality passing through.
An enchanted adventure along of the chasm row.

Beliefs are placed above
all other feeble things;
beliefs can be built on single ideas
that won't disappoint those alive
who are constantly hoping to gain...
while they wait for a possible ban.
Beliefs have guided Humankind
and sacrifices have proved
how insignificant prospectives
became luminous insights
for some desperate spirits
so thirsty for denied rights.
Beliefs can be built on simple ideas
and on the strength of honest individuals;
would life be still livable bearing a denied justice
and crimes that are an abomination to the conscience?
She stepped on Mars,
Wondering, from there, if she could see the stars.
Lovingly kissed its soil.
Her desire to explore began to boil.
The Red Planet welcomed her with a red carpet.
To the strange noises around, she is not a puppet.
She's clear about why she was there
She shall traverse the land to find out the life's trace.
She is a woman with super abilities
Her Mars mission is set to survey life's possibilities
She shall sojourn there for quite sometime
Takes us all to stay there for a lifetime.
She wants from us, a little assurance
that we shall not cause to its peace any disturbance.
She assures, she tries her best to set up a livable hamlet
Only if we don't disfigure it, like we did to our mother planet.
