Social Justice

Social justice is the fair and just relation between the individual and society. 
I am an American
I just want fair and just treatment
wanting my fellow man and government
to represent, me
fairly
A measured explicit and tacit terms 
for the distribution of wealth, opportunities 
for personal activity and social privileges
this is social justice
fairly
I am black-African American
I just want fair and just treatment
wanting my fellow man and government
to represent, me
fairly
I profess Christ in my life
I am not ashamed to tell my boss or my job
religious discrimination
retail and governmental confinements work on required days
Or your fired
just want a right to be respected
fairly
There are four types of justice 

Distributive, procedural, restorative and retributive. 
I just want to be equally representative
child labor, miss-cradled
Racism,  still hating for the color of our skins
education, teach the same have the same contents of books
Shelter/housing, all should have a descent place affordable place to live
Bullying, corruption jealous ashamed people sorrowful wanting power over you 
Medicine, disabled people I must miss some meals sell my used car to afford 
poverty I control but yet my governmental task masters really control
I am a Christian
Not ashamed to tell you or the government
I just want fair and just treatment
wanting my fellow man and government
to represent, me
fairly
Economic justice is a component of social justice
It's a set of moral principles
I need equal opportunity created  for a sufficient 
material foundation upon which to have a dignified, productive, and creative life beyond economics.
to represent, me
fairly
Racism, violence in schools, drug abuse
Unemployment,
Hunger and unfair labor conditions
Main reason we're in this
Is because of individual free-choice process
rarely
I am human caught in this mess
Called social justice?

To have lived this life I’ve led and followed, to have given, to have received, and not forgotten what trespassed, remorse has ran its course.  Our ancients DNA, and futures generation from me giving way. It was what on earth I was born for.  Choices have been made, patterns set, pounded dogs on obstructed pavement met, trekking through jungle’s wilds, and massive labyrinths.  I am not the same as before, and possibly ever shall be again.  It all seems small.  A dimensional me lingers, as well it should, as a reminder of the unfree, mazed in confinements adrift. I sit in a cloud amongst the other clouds, weighing heavily, measuring my myself, maturity, legacy, releasing ego's symptoms, until I acknowledge me, [karma] slowly shall I ascend into its black hole.  Set in perpetual motion, an abstract me.  I look back with open eyes, wide awake and I begin a new journey, a journey                            
of all journeys.  To keep on path...

...let open your eyes
self-redeemed, shakabuked _/\_
broken & subdued

The Starkness of Love



   Dulcimer dewdrops
 paint the leafy canvas,
hungry mouthlings bobbing 
   a rambunctious sway 
   from
clear pleasure of impact to receive 
       blessings of the day, 
the celestials milk of lactate rain;
      Natural communion of God's living waters.
Springtime of Life in the midsts of earthen daughters
festival seasonings to give down sunny aisle.
The Sun baptises the atmosphere into radiant bands to Godfather it along, graft in its song, 
to treat them well and cherish their innocent incense of
Petra-Petrichoronation.

Everything minted, freshly new, 
looks one to another in curious expressions, 
each starkness of moment a momento co-efficient
a moonlit kiss, a rhyme to feel on the skin-under the enigmatic dance of time a type of salutation, a hand
extended across the pews of cherished commune.

Overseer-elemental- spirit-emissary- 
spreads over the horizon, 
an Angel of the mind's auburn snows 
and breaker of confinements of prose, 
has a general idea what C R E A T I O N must be feeling, 
but sneaks a look to every station, every interaction, 
each breath taken silence of magical gratitude the entrance into the white fluffy and delicate know.
The lottery was won by each 
for no other reason that G O D is the Author 
and Master Poet, of Love 
and balls lightning to show it.

Love and Rhyme Captured In Poetic Paradigm

Our lives center around love, dreams and a common wish to be forever surrounded by happy (and for the poet, poetic) themes. Just close your eyes and set yourself free! Escape to that place where Light & Happiness unites with Love & Eternity. A meeting that can only take place when you flee the social confinements this world and our society often impose. Look forward to a happiness that is within your power to create-- Be the master of your own destiny!

A bird of hope and love takes flight, and with it dreams can soar to an even greater height. Where there is a will there is a way, for love to finally stay. Although it might have journeyed far and wide, its wings never saw rest, yearning for its true loving nest. The place where fidelity exists, because love persists. A place where bonds of affection remain unbroken and a lifetime of happiness is all that's spoken. And all that remains for us to do is choose--choose to pursue that path of flight, where truth and friendship never fight. Then, and only then, will you find your days in this world to be filled with calm and serenity and a Great Light---The Light With No End! 


>>>>>These words you write
>>>>>>>>are burning real bright
>>>>>>>>>>like birds flying at night
>>>>>>>>>>>>>maybe doves, all white
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>as they attract this light
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>falling from this height
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>and enhancing my sight
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>knowledge with might
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>perceive what's right
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>sadness can take flight
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>and forgetting my plight
>>>>>>>A HUMAN BEING >>>>>>>>>>>no longer feeling contrite
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>my nerves are now tight 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>to continue with this fight 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>now gone is this, my spite 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>making my feelings sprite 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>with your true kindness 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>my heart did you smite 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>giving me renewed might 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>to be forever in your site 
>>>>>>>>>>>your loving, shining knight 
>>>>>>>>protecting you each night 
>>>>>>holding you ever so tight
