Scaling the Sliding Scale
I weigh in at live energy
learning in life to live the way

the way like the wind
resting in the nurturing stars
concocting a breathtaking blend
of forgiveness' smiles eroding the pasts scars
aware my vibration will constantly bend
rebuilding my...

From River to the Sea
From river to the sea, an ocean of blood, filled with cries of children;
peace is broken, homes destroyed, lives shattered, a sea of refugees fleeing torrential bombs, under the ether of Western civilization resisting a...

Will Voters Rule Sperm Are Persons
Will Voters Rule Sperm are Persons?

By Elton Camp

When a recent referendum was voted down
There came a smile after the initial frown
Another group of folks, protection needed
So to arrange for another vote they speeded

Folks down there...

I write this poem here where i lay 
Where sunshine is gone i could only see grey 
Where babbles of a monster who refuse a weapon was told 
Not a fairytale of a monster that'll...

Premium Member History In a Black Robe
Waves of anticipated distance- cheerfulness and goodwill
reasons to part quite enormous
reflected in displayed emotions
long hugs, passionate waves, incomplete smiles and contact exchanges.
Queues and checkpoints, controls and duty free sales
all activities winding up in a goodbye

From...

A Walk To Freedom
A Walk to Freedom

Nelson 'Madiba' Mandela,
Needless I say more.
But 'cos I need scribble 'bout a gross words,
I'll erupt the plain white stadium with my trusted 'vuvuzela'.

What's life without heartbreaks?
What are roses without thorns?
What's a party...

A Poem For Palestine
First comes the soldiers, then comes the tanks,
Just another day in the Gaza Strip and West Bank.
Heartless military monsters show no remorse,
Itchy trigger fingers so eager to use force.
Torturing children, breaking their bones,
Occupying lands and...

7 Rings
Sages and brethren
gather and share
and slowly souls
are bared;
their tempered voices
and quiet eyes
reserved of judgment
with passing smiles,
moments blend
in current trends
opinions wide
and reflections deep;
the concepts
and irregularities
once murky
now clear.
they prioritize
and familiarize
that staunch resolution
of generation net
will remunerate
and illuminate
through the...

Making Amends
It was a free ride down town
Full of obstructions
And multiple checkpoints
My pulchritude casts a spell
On entire human existence
As motley petals on insects
Many couldn't resist
A glimpse at me
I am a creation of the earth
I wish to...

Brothers and Sisters
Birds,unlike humans, can  fly across the barriers

Avoid the checkpoints,need no identity papers, permits

Or gold stars.

Brothers,why were you separated?

Why could Palestine not be left as one

where ,as in Andalusia before the madness

of Inquisition,you lived together...
