Premium Member Paper and Plastic, Is Man Fantastic

Me, I'm just part of mother earth
I'm just a little particle
At least mother earth knows I'm worth

Me and other particles
We make up her ground
For purity it is, it's found all around

For millions of years
We absorbed so many things
Decaying plants and flesh
In daily life it brings

Then the day arrived
With the experiments of man
Creating what was never here
Was it in their future plans

I can still recall the day
Seeing a fluttering near me
It was so white, drifting like a leaf
But I couldn't picture the tree

Beside me it lay
Not for long, just a couple of weeks
Here, then it was gone
Us particles no longer weeped

The fortunate in us lived on
Living many, many years
But this day I'll always remember
Us particles choked, and lingering tears

Generations now have passed
The same colour, white like the paper
This time it never left
Mans creation, who cares, their caper

HELLO WORLD HAVE A BLESSED CHRISTMAS REMEMBER JESUS--

Hello world have a blessed Christmas
And in all your givings and receiving
Remember
Remember, Jesus
Hello sir in the trappings of your daily life
Captive of all the strife
We must remember you are right
Right in the middle of creation
Maker of the nations
Let us praise Him now
For in our last breathe
We may not have any time left
Remember
Remember, Jesus
And in all thy ways acknowledge Him
The creator and the Son
God and Jesus
Hello world
In all your hustle and bustle
The givings and receiving
We all must take time to believe in...
Remember
JESUS

Chasing Feelings

I want to cry. I long to smile. 
Some feeling to wash over me for a while. 
Scrolling, relentlessly with my thumb. 
Every other part of my body and mind, numb. 

'Life is for living', that's what they said. 
On the days I was thankful just to exit my bed. 
Chasing some feelings locked in a screen. 
Staring mundanely at an imaginary dream. 

Opportunities abundant. Adventures galore. 
Making my bed is a tortuous chore. 
Insufferable details. Daily life lessons. 
I'll get to those after my anti-depressants. 

Getting through the day with a 'comfortably fine'. 
No highs. No lows. Simply passing the time. 
I want to cry. I want to feel joy. 
That ship has left port. Raise the anchor. Ahoy.

Locked and Forgotten

locked up and forgotten
the common men 
can draw the better pictures
of the virtue of patience
they are the living legends
despite they die in multitude
still they multiple like they 
are untouchable
we see them every day 
they are everywhere
some are your siblings
some are your friends 
don't let them be your enemy

locked and forgotten
life is fair 
yet black to the common men
but despite the hardship
they spring out like a spring water
they remains our existing hope 
unnoticed 
despite they are deprived
of their human right 
their fight still points
to humanity 
ill human never want a reality 
so in their struggles 
of life to live 
they never could escape
always to be 
locked and forgotten

locked and forgotten
the common men 
are the builders of 
this world 
they are not excluded 
in the moral values 
of our daily life 
their labour is always
important to intelligent Humans
cos they are the builders 
of their ideology always 
what a world 
despite their  royalty
they can never escape
in their reality to be always
locked and forgotten

Spotlight

Spotlight

So many people want to live in the spotlight, 
Yet only a few want everyone to know about their daily life. 
Some celebrities don't want every inch of the spotlight. 
Except the Kardashians whom live for the spotlight.
 
It's a crazy world we live in 
and everyone is a victim. 
There's a snake in the system, 
and it's looking to bite with some venom. 

It's like contagion all over again 
And no one knows what the cure is. 
An infection that spreads at the speed of a virus, 
Exposing every dark light with the spotlight.

My turn in the light, I don't want anyone but me in the light, 
Put my face on the jumbo screen like an emoji screen. 
I want the attention all the other celebs get, 
acting like it's a contest.
 
Put me on the red carpet in front of all the cameras, 
So, I can pose for the people with the cameras. 
I love the spotlight like the moonlight, 
Up in the sky shining like sunlight.

Put me in the spotlight, I love the spotlight.
Put me in the spotlight, I love the spotlight.
The only place I want to be is in the spotlight.

Premium Member Stranger Love

A spoken word meandering unbound,
its own master measure, broad and profound, 
subject to interpretation thereof, 
binds poetic minds in Stranger Love. 

Two distant seeking souls through subtle verse 
blur friendship’s line across the universe. 
The poets’ bittersweet ethical stance - 
Stranger Love of virtual romance. 

Worlds apart, sharing daily life routine, 
seemingly unperturbed but in between - 
daydreaming magic of overseas dove, 
bearing a sonnet from Stranger Love. 

Two poets’ poignant passion from afar 
with minds alike and hearts aligned - ajar, 
weaves dulcet words into their secret bower, 
Stranger love - trite premise of great power. 

History knows in literary art -
a masterpiece oft born from lonesome heart. 
Upon the sunset red, night’s curtain stills - 
Stranger Love beckons through poets’ quills.

SHADES OF BLACK

SHADES OF BLACK

Always look forward, they say, not back
Yet some of a certain age and persuasion
Would find that contrast of lesser appeal
As dull grey everyday issues are too real
Trying to keep daily life on an even keel 
Just a smile and nod to suit the occasion
Still to recognise several shades of black

How things were, are now, and will be
It’s like a gradient leading gently down
Perhaps slow to realise that it is a slope
And yet never doubting if one will cope
Saving a devalued currency that is hope
Behind the eyes, one can wear a frown
Such that there’s no need for sympathy

There is no map nor any clear direction
By now, none should ever be surprised
What earthly inheritance is for the meek
When it’s only written words that speak
Some may consider such a future bleak
But there’s still joy that can be realised
When finally discovering the connection

Premium Member who am I channeling

words come to me in batches
for days they will include witches, goblins and jack-o-lanterns
like obsessions, they include spell books, brooms, bats and ghosts

in an abrupt about face
they change alliteratively into dogs doing daring deeds daily.
wild wildebeests wishing we were wayfaring wanderers.
prancing princesses providing presents proving professorships.

I do not control them, they are in charge of me.
today’s words were in my head before I got out of bed.
I heard the last two lines of a poem I had been creating in my sleep.
not unusual unfortunately.
What is unusual is if I remember them.

words can be playful, joyful, happy, friendly and kind.
this is when I am concentrating on poems for children
I do not think you can be too optimistic for them.

when they turn dark, gloomy and morose, I am shocked.
these are not my words, I think. Who am I channeling?
Poe? Coleridge? a serial killer?

words set the stage for my daily life.
their ambiance creates my mood.
I have no idea where they originate.
But they end up on a typed page.

Polar Bears

Abridged Alaska along the freezing Arctic edge 
lives the ivory Polar Bear, a vigorous carnivore.
They enjoy eating the tough walrus, beluga 
whales and seals. They can sniff out a seal’s den 
up to a mile away. They only hunt and eat prey 
every four to five days at a time. 

Polar Bears are marine mammals spending time 
on the ice, with thicker fur than any other bear.
The have layers of black blubber keeping them warm, 
because those frigid temperatures can be rough!
When the snowy days begin to swarm, there’s 
nothing colder than that Artic atmosphere.  

Their flat feet are like oars for swimming and can 
swim up to two hundred miles from land. They 
have been known to swim up to six miles per hour 
at any given time. 

When they’re born they only weigh about one 
pound and approximately twelve inches in length.
One of the tiniest mammals on earth, so intriguing 
yet hard to comprehend.  
Adult Polar Bears can grow almost ten feet from 
nose to tail and weigh up to one thousand seven 
hundred pounds.

Females can produce up to five litters in a lifetime; 
the lowest of any mammal alive.
Mating season is late March through May, but sadly, 
not all the cubs born can survive the climate. 
These lazy bears rest up to twenty hours a day 
for strength, yet do not hibernate like other bear species.

Polar bears are kindhearted yet persevere to survive. 
They cool off by rolling around in the snow or
taking a dip in frigid waters. These adoring creatures
have no natural enemies, and have a soft and 
delightful temperament. 
Except females taking care of their cubs, Polar Bears
are mostly solitary mammals, enjoying daily life 
by themselves. 

Their lifespan can reach up to twenty-five years, 
but they are still on the endangered species list. 
How can we save the Polar Bears?
Polar Bears would benefit from reductions of
greenhouse gas emissions. Helping to reduce
climate change would help immensely. There are 
only about twenty-five thousand Polar Bears left 
in the world today. 
May we all take care of the environment to 
ensure the quality and quantity of these beautiful 
animals.

Premium Member Fractions Speak Louder Than Verbs

Numbers, abstractions and in other words
I prefer to teach math instead of English
Because fractions speak louder than verbs

God made the integers, all else is the work of man**
But Saint Augustine said
That you must have faith in order to understand

Numbers are abstraction you see
A symbol may be found on a chalkboard
They are not physical (they don't grow on a tree)

You only imbibe them intellectually
They run on into infinity
But you can catch them intuitively

So use the numbers 
     in daily life 
Or before slumbers
They are something 
     you can count on
Reciting digits on your digits
[Sometimes] the countdown encumbers
