Listen To the Wise Woman

She is a wise woman who has the ability to read the stars with affinity 
when she gazes into your eyes like a crystal ball she knows your future 
There are many men who consider her "the woman of their dreams"
but she will never enter another's life, for she has only one vocation 
She is a Princess no doubt not by title  but by the way she carries herself 
I'm longing to meet someone just like her someday, but I am afraid 
that she will look right through me and tell me all my weaknesses. 
Then again a woman like that with rare ability  is surely serendipity smart 
she can easily point out my strength and send me soaring like a true King 
this wise woman is beneficial to many a heart, but she suffers no fools.

Premium Member The Two Faces Of A Coin

Head and tail, front and back, face and b_tt  or some other names -- titles for the two faces of a coin.

  Two faces of a coin, like the two phases of life in reality.  

  If there's the rich side, then there's the poor side.  The good side and the bad side of life as well.  

  People keep on reading and writing.  People also keep on counting -- counting different things that are in front of us, including the negative elements and bad examples in life. And just like anything else that captures everybody's attention, whatever is in front of us is the most interesting of all... counting what's on our palm...  like m & ms.  

  Money in paper form is as good as a coin of great value to man.  So, which side would you choose in a coin?

  Others say, we can choose the girdle or the middle.  For all we know, the middle face of the coin only lies or stands either flat or upright.  If you choose the flat position, it sits while the upright position stands and rolls.  

  So what's the best thing to do with a coin... save it or use it?  Like keeping it or spending it.

  The two faces of a coin will always be there forever.  How you use each face is up to you!  What is more interesting, you try to figure out which side is more benefiting.  Then ask yourself again, benefit or comfort?

  Not everybody believes that money is the root of all evil.  Money, in form of a coin, is helpful and beneficial to human wants; comforting to human needs 

  Between wants and needs, life can be a mess or success.

  The two faces of a coin, like the left and right sides of life.  Just pick and do what is right.  Drop what is not right!

Premium Member Harbor Sludge Queen

Out of the bowels of Harrisburg
Comes a new woman on the scene
She's head of environmental pollution
She's known as the Harbor Sludge Queen
She's in charge of polluting our county
And putting the environment in a rut
While her boss, the infamous Mr. Ed
Has his nose buried in athlete's butt
It doesn't do any good to scream and holler
And our right to choose is naught
Please publish her picture in the newspaper
So we can see what corporate America just bought
We were told the sludge is beneficial
But no matter what you call it
The only place it's beneficial
Is to our politician's wallet
When your child asks you 
Daddy, why is the grass so green
Tell him it won't be green for long
Thanks to the Harbor Sludge Queen
Their long range plan is simple
Pollute the mountains and all in between
Then buy the properties for nothing
Courtesy of the Harbor Sludge Queen.

   Dedicated to the Department of Environmental Protection Who is allowing the 
dumping of fly ash mixed with dredging from the New York Harbors to be 
dumped in the unlined mine pits in our area. They are already responsible for the 
death of Troy Behun, an 11 year old child and Daniel Pennock a 17 year old. 
They've already spent the almost unlimited super fund money in Pennsylvania. 
As with most government agencies, total incompetence and gross negligence 
prevails.

One-Night Suitor

I know this form as *Monotetra*!!

*One-Night Suitor*

How can I ever love again?
How can I ever trust again?
I am good, she's full of regret!
My mind is set, my mind is set

Will past demons haunt my future?
Will I lose my sense of humor
And become that one night suitor?
The heart-breaker, the heart breaker

How can I ever trust again?
How can I ever love again?
Lone wolf with beneficial friends
I will transcend, I will transcend

Can my heart find satisfaction?
I don't like to read in caption,
Dreadful silence causes friction
Interaction, interaction!

How can I ever love again?
How can I ever trust again?
open my heart without restrain,
Or fear of pain. or fear of pain!

A Grain of Salt

A man, 20 years of age, another man, 40 years of age

The young man in his inexperience asks the 40 year old man
"You've lived twice my life, whats your advice?"
The older man pauses
Reflecting on his own life, in hindsight..
He says:

It is said by many
The best teacher is experience
This statement is true, but experience
Does not equate to intelligence, or intellect
As both do not equate to experience
With every word from spoken by a man in his youth
It is received by the senior with a grain of salt.
Though in reality, they are both adults

What distinguishes a person whos lived longer?
Is years of learning beneficial if they accomplish little?
A decade spent listless watching days blend together
Carrys more wisdom, more growth than 5 years of struggle?
To believe this I refuse.

Adults of seniority, arent always mature
Bickering, arguing with each other,
Talking over the other
Neither letting either get one word in edgewise
Their bodies mature, years experienced
Yet arrested development has left them
Adult children


The fresh face child who endures struggle
And is given responsibility,
Experiences his growth as man
A man who never has had to struggle and grow
Is stuck in his adolescence,

Migrants

Migrants

The Scandinavian countries are finally waking up
to their goofy humanity, welcoming people from
Most Arab countries think they will be on time
nicely Nordic population, obeying  the law
What they got was mayhem and criminality.
What did they think would happen, migrants
mostly young men without proper education
belonging to the violent section of the Muslim
religion, the provocation of public praying 
Violence and rape
The lack of women was not considered they
They are vital for any society or culture
The Scandinavians have had enough, finally
They have taken to do something about, alas
wrongly by throwing the baby out with the
with the bath water
Many Muslims are nominally religious, like
We are nominally Christians, and they are
beneficial for any society, and throwing everybody
out is not a solution.
It is a stupid overreaction that serves no one
Of course, those who break the law must be
expelled, and those who work hard must be 
allowed to stay
We are not like Tony Robertson, a person who
looks for the negative among migrants unable
to see the difference, seeking violence for
its own sake

Solving the Right Equation

Equations also refer to a specific human connection,
they must always be equal and have a balance in concept;  
if all women are thought to be lower than us men,
refrain from being superior, solve the right equation...
no, don't sit at your desk for hours doubting it, then dub it.

Monuments are built with various equations of ingenuity,
admire them anywhere and be stunned by their immensity;
chemistry and biology use lots of them, they are imperative,
their discoveries are beneficial, but sometimes destructive.

Wars wouldn't have been won without these theories,
Man wouldn't have gone to the moon and explore it;
disappointment is delusive when all else fails in defeat,
solve your equations, be thoughtful and compare results...
are they perfectly thought out? If not, some disaster awaits.

Premium Member Snowglobe Memories Mystic

Quote ”Expensive gifts are no substitute for love nonetheless a thoughtful gesture on one’s part leaves a lasting impression especially on a child.” By Poet



In my childlike innocence I was magically transfixed,
by this spherical  glass object stunning in its Jack Frost design,
prismatic snowflakes that mystic magic carousel spellbound,
Christmas reindeer coterie that  cast a wide charm bijou wink,
nirvana within luminous tantalising universal infant pneuma,
layer upon layer of compacted fallen snow as aftermath divine,
then weighty rucksack on Santa’s back  of glitter tie band bundles, in  boot slush transit knee-deep in annual mirth,
December  pageant peering deep inside my mental cavern of  cartoon fun,
reassuring hug from  both parents is the essence of  goodwill season ethos lofty,
they beamed with festive warmth so  noble when watching me,
touch and glide that silken urchin hand of mine so impish, 
on this  prized hypnotic treasure captivating in its glow world sheen,
with its gilt-edged gallery of down the ages Noel  features bountiful,
it had  this  red cheek sprightly offspring gazer in a trance,
a token souvenir star dazzle as eternal recall dwelling  cosset,
including mesmeric Yuletide batch  of swoon and sway serenades and tunes, 
chorus boom o’er ice chill  swathe  from dome mould  gift,
enough to goad and prompt that beneficial item  I yearned for,
from benign folk Elysian who lavish so much radiant attachment without curb,
especially at foot of tree swaddled present to whet the curious,
till Doomsday nipper awestruck by dream fetish awash with flair,
cute whirl and swirl toy gadget a nebula for me the tiny tot, 
whose imagination swept to the furthest North Pole sighting and beyond.

Lost Generation

lost generation
they live not knowing
when cometh the next meal
they live by the lowest
man ill nutrition
they got voices yet 
it is shut down
they got leaders 
yet they feeds 
their needs by themselves
on their streets the 
walls speaks how ugly 
poverty can swallow
humans with out mercy

lost generation
they are the forgotten ones
struggling with out benefits
hustling in hard justice
working with the lowest pay 
praying with little or no hope
they are rejected yet 
exploited
they are like slave yet beneficial
they wallow in pains 
and agony is never separated
from there story 
they are everywhere 

the lost generation
their efforts don't count 
even when it makes sense
they are outcast
only useful for labour 
their needs are always in control
either is their wish valuable
their offspring grow in shame
genocide of freedom 
they grow in hunger and deprivation
of humanity 
they struggle same like 
there old generation
change is never a chance 
for them 
they are not educated 
yet above all 
they believe in God 
that why in the eyes of 
the opressor they look
strange while 
they serve as the 
lost generation

Premium Member Musing: the One and the Many

If all is One, as the wise of old say,

And the one is All,

It follows that this Oneness must have

A common consciousness which  

Is shared by the One and the Many

Fact that 

Inevitably leads us to the conclusion:

What takes place within this Cosmic order

Is the result of this unique consciousness,

Common to the totality and its parts,

That 

It seems, has as its goal the maintenance

Of this created universe through a harmonious      

Collaboration and coexistence

Which

Is beneficial to the One and to the Many

Thus

Whatever happens within this creation is Good

For

If it were not good,  the All and the One could

Never be!
