Unfriendly Skies

The passengers were in their seats
When something was announced – 
Employees had to fly and so
Four people would be bounced.

Requests with compensation
Met with silence, so United
Chose some “random” ticket holders
To deplane and thus ignited

Quite a controversy, since one man
Just out and out refused.
His bodily removal left him
Furious and bruised.

The gentleman, a doctor,
Had some patients to attend to.
United workers didn’t care;
Nor did they pretend to.

Of course, the scene was filmed
And now those so-called “friendly skies”
Will be filled with cancellations
As the rage intensifies.

Coward

Coward

I have endowed mind
Singing my mantras' anthems
To God for being kind

Time has plans beaten
Yet daring mind chooses win
Of defeats sweeten

Morrow announced loss
What today wish to begin
Shared yesterday's cross

Through pain and not gain
Because of the lane followed
Induce dew to rain

Processes skipped
Makes battling smartness  swallowed
Wisdom well equipped

I am such coward
Whose heartbeats state cool problems
Which ain't empowered

Faded scope with tag
Scaring away cold warning
With oaths to fly flag

Of everyday's sigh
How to seize courage mourning
Hope to flying high

With the strings of bliss
Who have grown from their mistakes
Shunt regret's abyss

Than watch people's view
On how much faded loss stakes
Out  of aging blue

My Extended Version of '' My Condensed Prayer '' By Britt

She prays; gods halo again brightly creeping from underneath the shadowed covers of comfort. Slowly awakening her blissful HEArT re*collabrated and re*juvinated to start the day quietly tip-toed inside  her peaceful home. A plantation thats shown to be told,firmly planted is all she'll ever know, thank you god my almighty straight to the LION'S den's mouth, as her heart is poured out in extreme greatness. She announced her DOGS EYE is not in pain anymore. So Thank You god for you are my only GOD!!!! You've engaged this HEArT strongly SHAPPED, I do love me; and the WOMAN I have become. In these last few weeks she has learned GENUINE SOULS do care like you, as parents we will keep her fruitful n' clothed. She'll learn that LOVE IS: more powerful then anything imaginable as you have, you image this world through a precious eye;(my DOG) across the sky in colorful RAE'S of skittles I can taste the RAINBOW... COLLABRATING IN THE CLOUDS... Watching SUN~SET DAWN DOWN fast asleep holding on to those DREAMS along side my dog. Teaching everyone to LOVE with/out SELFishness, just against GRACE For her HEART Is BIGGER Than the UNIVERSE.... As she chooses FREE~WILL!!!!!!
WILLINGLY!!! I Know now her Entire FAMILY HouseHold is in good HEALTH, SAFEly hidden from DANGER N' HARM,and has had A Peacful nights rest beside the warm fire I will lay;as she closes her eyes during nights break.

I LOVE YOU GOD FOR ALL YOu DO N' SHOW!!!

Premium Member BIRTHDAY WISHES

“Today’s my birthday!” The little girl announced as she picked a book off of the shelf.
“My birthday wish this year,” she whispered, “was to pick out a book all by myself.”

She paid for her book, picked up her bag…and remembered her change too.
then walked into the arms of her parents…the ones who made her wish come true.

As I watched her celebrate with her family and into their embrace dissolve…
I thought of how, over the years, our birthday wishes evolve.

I imagine when I was a baby…to young a wish to make
the only thing I wanted was to get my hands into the icing on my cake.

When I got a little older…moving from a baby to a boy
every birthday wish I made centered on some toy.

Older still I’d close my eyes and blow out the candles’ flames
wishing for money…or clothes…or, perhaps, the latest video games.

When I became a husband and a father…my wishes changed…I must profess
I wished my family to remain healthy…that they’d know peace…and happiness.

As my children grew and grew…I’d wish they’d live a life without turmoil…
that they would always make me smile…and give me grandchildren to spoil.

Today’s my birthday!…and at 71…having had most of my wishes come true
let me take a moment to share…this birthday wish with you…

I wish for love and happiness…for peace and harmony
to grow another year older surrounded by people I love
and people who love me…

It’s actually the same wish on my birthday…now…every year I make…
because if this wish is granted…
then everything else…
Is just icing on the cake.

Premium Member Hillary Clinton

Hillary Clinton


Mrs. Clinton, First Lady, became
well-known fem of political fame;
   special policies made
   and with Whitewater, played
that long, fact-finding, criminal game.

Later she became Senator, won
New York State in two-thousand and one.
    Sponsored new bills galore,
    Total passed...numbered four
during two terms before she was done.

Secretary of State her next move.
Tried to help ties with nations improve. 
   She attracted the news
   which would sometimes confuse...
disapprove, turn around, then approve.

Like, ambassador killed...much at stake;
everywhere was announced this newsbreak.
   But Benghazi assault
   was judged not by her fault,
"for what difference now does it make?"

Quite politically savvy was she
backed up big with support...was to be
     voted in President
     but more votes, counted, went
to elect her proclaimed enemy.

Some insist, missing emails to blame;
that her server was wiped, what a shame.
   But done just "with a cloth"
   she declared by her troth,
so her innocence, we must proclaim!

Now, one thing that she did very well...
she stood up for her man through that hell
   of Lewinsky's blue dress,
   as he did so confess...
more worth staying than bidding farewell.

Premium Member Connected In Their Dreams - Part 3

He entered a dimly lit venue
With tables scattered around.
He caught sight of her waiting for him,
Her eyes scanning the crowd.

An open mic event was on 
Tribute acts and Kareoke 
Any who wished to could perform,
A mad bunch did the Hokey Cokey!

She rose, with bag in hand, deflated
About to leave - when a distraction...
A finger tapping on the microphone
It was the man of her attraction.

She looked at him confused and mouthed,
"What is going on?"
He announced, "I have a tale to share 
With you all about this lovely one!"

He pointed at her. Everyone stared.
Her cheeks flamed a new shade of red.
As a spotlight fell on her she sat
Covering her face and shaking her head.

She didn't hear the start because
It all became a blur
"Who doesn't like a playful gal?!"
She looked up and caught his stare.

He went on to relate how they first met
How another time she grabbed his coat
And how, for reasons yet to be declared,
She wanted to see it float.

Everyone laughed as she nodded away
At the truths within his rhyme.
Her eyes rolled as she thought to herself 
"Well, you got me back this time!"

He asked her to join him on the stage
But she refused to stand
So he waddled off stage and headed her way
Reaching out for her hand...

Her heart was pounding, she was smiling
Her emotions raced as she opened her eyes.
"I wasn't expecting us to meet like that!'
She sighed... 'A teasing, sweet surprise."

LOS ANGELES – Mayor Karen Bass today 
announced that more Angelenos came inside
 from an encampment in South LA. Located
 between community spaces like Brotherhood 
Crusade, an elementary school and homes, this
 encampment was a safety concern to many in 
the surrounding community. Through Inside 
Safe, these Angelenos will now receive quality
 care and services as well as personalized case 
management. B-roll available here.

Every elect which detours homekey is defrauding
 life saving federal agents from objective
 of budget dating back to initial failure to 
stay on same document header, heading
 and spend replenish order.


Rights to Writing
As of eves grace
The students relieved
Enjoy the fountains waters
Music surrounds
And Liberty attends

The mind sets this way
Oft, hours draw against the setting
From another side of liberty
Very little cloth remains

Her children, remnants of wars
Counting upon the delay
Delay the examination

Very good indoctrination altruism affords
More, more of itself and attendings.


Opinion versus Science allows debate
 for free speech 
Thus learning is a news of choice and liberty
The vote is removed from human 
Human dignity

The company president reffered to one

We anyway. The specail announcement was that durning

Premium Member Deeply Set Truth

Sunrise does he who formed the eye not see past the dawn 
rising from the place of it's setting weakness of will 
turning the potters clay upside down 
hiding their deep council from the Lord 

Where they whom do works in the dark 
in these secret societies look for praise 
and they had a king over them 
who is the angel of the bottomless pit 

Whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon 
but in Greek he is called Apollyon
all the earth was in admiration after the beast 
when he announced himself as God lording over us 
where the blind will follow this dragon to hell 
as they the lost sacrifice their children to him
