Why can't I be the real me
Instead of putting on airs to impress
If I really didn't care what people thought
I could go to the mall in a dress
Right away I'd be labeled as kinda unusual
To say the least I'd be mocked
Teenagers would all point and chuckle at me
Oldsters would be totally shocked
Imagine as well if I dyed my hair green
With lipstick a dark shade of pink
Not saying I'd ever resort to such nonsense
But it sure would make people blink
To shock everyone with bizarre behaviour
To act like you've gone a bit looney
Imagine the reaction of these real snotty folks
Might think they're filming a movie
There are certainly limits for our behaviour
We can't go naked in the streets
Coz at times when a shapely woman walks by
Oops... this line I had to delete!

Without fear or favour,
Will you be remembered for this kind of behaviour?
Or will your epitaph be of a different flavour.
Will you be remembered as having no backbone?
Staying on your cell phone,
While others are cut to the bone.
Will you have showed how tough your love can be?
Or will you have preferred to wait and see,
What our re-action would be.
Has, fear of being out of favour?
Ruled your behaviour,
In place of Love your neighbour.
Is fear or favour been motivating your behaviour?
When others ask you a favour,
Knowing the consequences could be dour.
Without fear or favour,
Is it possible for extremism to sour?
The news every hour.
“Metamorph”
The Invocation of Fire cast,
She imprinted her mark, a
Metamorph holding keys
The Siren,
bare feet, walks
towards
the blue-green mirror Sea
Out of the cave
from the Underworld
following he
A rope around her waist
One leg in Heaven
The other in Hades
Eurydice;
This time he doesn’t
look back,
jute unravels,
She’s free
(LadyLabyrinth/2020)

“what was it that crossed my face
with the light from yours
and your glance?
what was it you saw in my face?
the light of your own face,
the fire of your own presence?”
“An empathic metamorph is a creature
perceived to be the "perfect mate"
by changing its persona and behaviour
to meet another being's emotional
requirements and sexual desires.
It achieves this using a subtle form
of telepathy which is more akin to empathy.”

KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOURS
Considering any acquaintance,
proximity is the first preference
to overcome over all loneliness.
Helplessness solvable by neighbours!
Improve your social behaviour.
In urgency next door guys : Saviours.
But in mobile, Facebook or text message
Children, youngsters, seniors on average !
Most of the time all engaged! Time wastage.
Care and share for your next door neighbours.
In need do favour or ask for favour.
Daily chores to run smooth with less labour.
Friends may be far, neighbours at door step.
Be involved: Interact ! Help and get help.
Neighbours for each other, above self.

Acquaintance and Neighbours
Contest by Soto Poet
A family member often criticized me
Initially I felt I was bad and cried
I lost my confidence, contemplated suicide
Then, I realized criticizing others was her habit
I never spoke badly to others
I was way better than her
One day when she shouted at me I answered back
You have no right to talk to me like that
Every time you speak badly you are tarnishing your own image
You also have imperfections, I too can point out
But you will not be able to take it
Think before you talk
She stopped for some days only to start again
Then I adopted another strategy I ignored her
She would say I am talking to you
I would still keep quite
She would stop
At other times I would just go out of the house
She would ask where are you going
I would reply I don't like listening to my criticism.
Will come back when you stop
I would tell my husband about her bad behaviour and her talks
Later I realized I was doing what she is doing
There is no difference between us
I stopped that too
Now she doesn't stay with us
There's peace at home
If someone criticizes you, remember that person is not God
You are created by God
Everything created by God is perfect
Those who are critical are negative people who cannot see positive trait's in others
They are not your well-wishers and what they say is best ignored
Never bother about others opinion
Never criticize them or defend yourself
Don't do what they are doing
Don't stoop low like them.
Follow your conscience
Be good, do good always
Be confident and positive
Our haters deserve our sympathy more than our reaction
Such people are miserable from inside
Their hate killing them every moment

Regalia awakens upon nightfall
Roused within rules proudly signified
Routine of midnight procedural
Robe wearer draped solemn dignified
Voracious moon grey devil face
Oak double doors crosses engraved
Vestibule commands reverence
Flung open so mortals can be saved
Behaviour carefully monitored
Moonshine in aisle to alter pointing
Father's guidance Penultimate
Spotlight slides jacketed anointing
Pulpit a pillar of scripture's page
Builds focus for lamp stuck fly byers
Formality chapters archaic sage
Impales twisted gargoyles on spires
Stitched into sleeves invisibly
Satin lining sheen hot cardinal flame
Shape of garment disciplining
Secure bounds by pockets contained
15th February
Fitting into Religion
My Fido was booked into the vets
To remove his ‘love making’ assets
He was due for an op
Where his ‘bits’ got the chop
No puppies; I’d have no regrets
We arrived near the vet’s surgery
Fido yelped that he needed to wee
He heard another dog bark
Then scampered off to the park
And escaped so far away from me
To cut a long story quite short
Young Fido he could not be caught
It can’t be discounted
That doggy he mounted
I’ll admit I was very distraught!
When Fido responded to heel
His fate at the vets I did seal
He’s quickly sedated
(Poor actions berated)
His stitches will dissolve and heal!
When musing, I shouldn’t get mad
His doggy behaviour was bad
Though Fido was ‘dog gone’
His line continues on
Six puppies, look just like their dad!

Imagine your self
stuck in the situation
your husband a wife beater
three children no money
how do you escape
how do you make a life
for yourself your children
your future, you have a right
Too be safe
to be strong
to be free
nobody has the right
to own you
to attack you
to hurt you
you have a right to freedom
lifeline could
talk to people
find people
that are willing
to provide emergency accommodation
families investing could provide jobs
ten dollars per week fifty two thousand per year
investing year after year creating wealth
Employment provides the income
to feed your children
with money in your pocket
you can find a place to rent
from the foundation of your home
you can improve your education
beginning the climb
to a better future.
Cousin Jonny has lost his job
his family depend on his income
but because his family
invested in creating companies
He has other opportunities
available he has other avenues to walk.
you meet a man on the street
angry hitting his car
you stop and spent
five minutes listening
broken hearted he tells you
the factory he works at shut down
redundant now his car has died
leaving him stranded and angry
sometimes anger is an expression
of frustration, a different form of tears
Because your family invested
you can give him a job
his car towed to a garage can be fixed
and with money he can pay the bill
people don't need charity
they need a future
even the job of a cleaner
provides to money to improve your education
Success comes on the back of hard work and effort
to climb above the problems of poverty
to climb above the streets of homelessness
does not require charity
the road to better futures, comes with employment
granted if you have a drug or alcohol problem
perhaps you can't hold down a job
some problems you have to fix yourself
the first problem you have to beat
is your addiction but remember, what you do in life
is also the behaviour, you teach your children,
the success of your life, depends on your decisions.
a day in the life
of an everyday man
mostly working to live
to provide what he can
looking at others
and comparing success
but a man who has everything
can sometimes have less
the gold and the splender
are all material things
when its time to go back
all your need are your wings
a time of reflection
a quiet moment of thought
to make the most of this time
as this time is too short
mistakes are a given
its all part of our plan
so lets meet them head on
and just be a good man
we’re all here for a purpose
so lets lead and lets learn
and start looking for answers
and have faith in concern
to make the most of the knowledge
we’ve been given since birth
ask lots of questions
theres more to this earth
are we here to return
with a story to tell
did we fail before
and came here cos we fell
whatever the reason
i will make the most of this life
to be a the best I can be
alongside my beautiful wife
i know life is for living
our time is for a reason
its not too long so remember
to make the most of this season
there could be a god
with a son who’s the saviour
would the truth make a man
change his earthly behaviour
i am not a sinner
neither a saint
a non waivering faith
but actions that taint
im a man on a mission
to be the best i can be
ill be there once more
for the whole world to see
funny how life
offers twists and some turns
playing russian toullette
with the ending to learn
A white man dies
Millions cry
He believed in slavery
Yet the privilege will worship as if he was their saviour
It's easy to defend when your not affected by their behaviour
Sympathy becomes easy, when you claim to be 'superior'
Human rights - until its your black neighbour
In a world where you can be anything, you can be kind
Easy to say when privilege makes you blind
They were human - Just like the black person you lynched
Ironic how their deaths never made you flinch
But a white man is shot, and all of a sudden your affected
No backbone, no skeleton
Stand for something
Stand for anything
Sitting on the fence, when you have the power to make a difference
You're not for 'equality', your just showing your cowardice
You're not choosing peace -
You're just choosing ignorance
It's not admirable to show 'indifference'
You're not better, you're just selective
And with that belief you'll end up on the wrong side of history
If you're gonna have selective empathy
At least use it for those worthy
Being white doesn't give you a pass to be a bully
I dont care if they 'had a family'
Especially when black death for them is comedy
Where is the outrage for police brutality
Or the centuries of slavery
Yet when it comes to the death of a white supremacist
They're honoured with the medal of 'bravery"
Where's our medal for just existing
Where being black means we are criminalised for breathing
And when we are killed instead of being mourned and respected
A black persons death is mocked and celebrated
We dont owe the oppressors our tears
The oppressed are allowed to celebrate one less danger
And if you've forgotten
When we were lynched you took pictures with our dead bodies
So dont come with your moral high ground
Talking about peace and kindness
When at no point in history -
Did the world have sympathy
For the deaths of my people
