Premium Member A World Without War

When Faith turns fanatic, 
When the mind, like a sponge soaked in dogma, 
When the lure of money overrides, 
When reason is hoodwinked
With the promise of a Heaven in wait, 

A terrorist is born! 

He moves around armed with ammunition.
Joins other desperados with loaded guns and bombs.
Like horrendous beasts unleashed from the den
They lunge on a rampage, with threats at gunpoint.
In God's name violence is concocted
Spewing hatred, hostility, and horror 

When interests clash, when the greed for power overrides
Between countries, tension builds.

In the war between Russia and Ukraine
In the turmoil between Jews and Palestinians
How many have died leaving their families wailing?

We are on the brink of an apocalypse.
Guns roar, bombs blast, causing,
Death, deformity, and destruction,
Mushroom clouds rise high.
Dark clouds hang on the horizon.
Frivolous ideologies kill lives of innocents
Leading to distress and doom.

With the world turning into a battlefield
We need an escape from this inferno.

Combined efforts alone can subdue,
This formidable enemy of gigantic proportions.
United shall we stay to get all wrongs right,
Muster strength to catch the bull by its horns,
To let the doves of peace take on wings,
And build a world free of hostility and war!

See the World

See the world today 
Tell me what
 the hand writing 
On the wall says

Does it look so clear 
To you 

Does it worries your soul
How strange suddenly 
The world has become

Take a closer look 
At us 
Are we all equal to live 
In harmony and in peace

Are we up to the level 
To obtain more blessing
From God 

Or

Are we just busy destroying
What we can't and never will 
Replace 

The only one universe
That covers our life's 

The only one earth 
That shelters us
The only one planet that feed our needs

Now it Bleeds from our deformity
Only if we could see

The damage we've done to 
The world

Towards Something More Than Intellect

Would you like to know what resides beyond the deformity of our perceptions if there is anything? Just what lies beyond those wishful embellishments emptiness perhaps nothingness if such is this
idea tempts like sugar many of the “intellectual” nothingness after the
last heartbeat a candle blown and the flame simply gone. But it is an answer of the laziest sort a rejection of possibilities of endless natures placing a dot
at
the end of a sentence which could continue and bloom into the most wonderful stories? They
like to say that imagination has nothing to do with truth (as if they knew all the mysteries of our minds) James Fowler – and others – have opinions of a more stimulating kind I say open up your
heart for there is much more beyond of what we’ve created in churches and temples even greater
Love
and imagination can be just the right door but there is and there will be
even more just
Stand
still and standing look and looking think and feel the voice that speaks through everything let it bring the freshness and vision of what there is to know and then in a brand new humbleness gently bow
your head
to all the powers which reside on the other side of the wall which divides
Human intellect from wisdom

Premium Member Don't Ever Give Up On Me

Dear Mommy and Daddy, where did you go?
Why didn’t you take me home after I was born?
Was it because the doctor said that I’d be slow?
Or was it because you saw that I was deformed?

I was so excited that the day had finally come
To see you both in person and in the flesh.
But, now I lay here feeling heartbroke and lonesome.
After nine months of waiting, I can’t believe you left.

You waited for less than a year for me to arrive.
I waited in the dark for my entire life.
From the day that I was conceived, I felt so alive.
But, discarding me cut my heart like a knife.

I graduated top of my class and got my degree.
I have a loving family and a wonderful life.
I have not been hindered once by my deformity,
And I own my own business with my loving wife.

So, you see, Mommy and Daddy, I turned out alright.
This whole story is what my life ahead can be.
Here I come, into the unknown world of light.
Please, Mommy and Daddy, don’t ever give up on me.

Miss Marple's Nephew's Double Mysteries

~~0~~

Agatha Christie, 
   Agatha Christie slights through half her years,

pens a fictional, Miss Marple,
   a Miss Jane Marple by her peers,

Agatha's best sleuth qualities had a nephew,
   a nephew named Raymond

not into crime stuff like his aunt,
   not like his aunt who'd felt him as Rainman,

though he thought much of the world,
   the world he thought of much,

~~0~~

such as the Death Valley Sailing Stones,
   stones sailing by magic touch?

some stones are seven hundred pounds,
   seven hundred pounds some stones are,

wintertime,
   wintertime flats fill with little quantities of rainwater that freezes so far,

day's sun melts the ice splitting it into sheets,
   into sheets, they're splitting,

desert winds hit the stones that slip and slide,
   slide and slip making results fitting.

~~0~~

and in Raymond's follow-up study he did of Richard III
death and all,
   death and all?

after his remains were found, his head was bashed repeatedly,
   bashed repeatedly appall,

no defensive wounds led to believe he had no helmet,
   no helmet had him,

furthermore, *Shakespeare's spinal deformity an err, he had no limp,
   no limp or a withered limb,

furthermore, his remains were found on a battlefield setting,
   a battlefield setting, not in a churchyard,

"A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse", alas none were seen,
   none were seen near this Shakespeare die-hard.

*Shakespeare's cast of Richard III in his play re his spinal deformity appears to have been exaggerated.

Bosworth, Before Dawn

He was not born roaring.

He was born smaller than expectation,
his spine curving slightly
as though the body itself hesitated
to enter the world.

They would later call it omen.

But in the beginning
it was only a child
learning how quickly affection tilts
toward symmetry.

His brothers moved easily through rooms.
Doors opened wider for them.
Light seemed to settle on their shoulders
without effort.

He understood early
that the world prefers what does not disturb it.

And he disturbed it.

Not by choice —
but by presence.

There is a particular solitude
in being watched
before being known.

It hardens slowly.

Not into hatred at first —
into precision.

He became observant.
Measured.
Careful with language.
Careful with silence.

If love would not be given freely,
power could be taken.

The crown did not glitter to him;
it answered something.

To stand above
what had always stood above him —
to force history
to pronounce his name without pity.

But power does not untwist the spine.
It does not quiet the memory
of laughter stopped mid-breath.

By the time the princes vanished
into the stone mouth of the Tower,
he had convinced himself
that necessity and cruelty
were the same word.

That is how ambition survives.

On the eve of Bosworth
sleep would not hold him.

The dead have a way of returning
without sound.

Not accusing.
Not raging.

Simply existing.

Proof
that what is done
does not dissolve.

When he fell,
it was not theatrical.

No thunder split the sky.

Just a body —
human, breakable —
meeting the ground.

History would name him monster.

But history never records
the first moment
a boy understands
he is less wanted
than the others.

And sometimes
that is where it begins.

Premium Member Self Conscious

Loosing the will to live, 
It’s all vicarious anyway,
There must be more to life,
Than the pretence of everyday.

Turns out you got a raw deal,
That was not there yesterday,
Bad luck meant it wasn’t to be,
Nascent beauty was taken away,

Your resulting life is one big lie,
The truth won’t help it go way,
You have to see it through for now,
Vicarious in nature, one must stay. 

So why the hell are you hiding,
Thats what others want to say,
Initially got dealt a good hand, 
But now must cheat to play?

If the mark of Cain comes upon you,
Remains indelibly on display,
All will recognize the humiliation,
Of deformity you carry today.

When anxious look more hideous,
Idiots laugh, at a grotesque array,
Not wanting to get mocked or pilloried,
Vicarious life, that’s the price we pay.

You Are a Power

You are a power 
Have ever wonder 
Who really you are 
Do you accept the 
Opinion of Bullies 
out there to laugh 
At your deformity
Come on get up 
This new year 
Stand up this time 
You are a power

You are a power
Don't let no one 
Pull you down to nothing
Be on you soul best 
At all time 
It sounds impossible
But possible
Only when you truly
Know who you are 
Ask yourself by yourself
And I tell you when you 
Are done then 
You are a power

You are a power
No one is born powerless
No even the weak 
Cos the strong can't be weak 
So move around boldly 
If you are already the person
You are meant to be 
Never give up on yourself
Cos is only you can walk 
Your ways your self 
And that is not a lie cos 
You are a power

Premium Member Shocking reality

Easy targets are those being trampled on rights wise
least we forget where the truth stands voicing an opinion 
take the structure of your argument cursing and name calling 
it embarrasses righteousness to even speak in defence 
Now search your soul for a few minutes addressing subject matter 
moral deformity within society has taken a dark shade 
nothing is impossible for you to see when push comes to shove 
If one looks the right way around with a balanced view 
identifying grave error surrounding values 
many in this world today are complete frauds 
Justice no longer exists to protect the innocent 
instead it latches onto the guilty parties side 
Three times today one individual roared in such vulgar language passing back and forward 
whilst we prayed adding this soul to the list for conversion of heart
sad to see some people totally possessed and so abusive

How are you my pet?
Have all you need?
Are you all set?
Have all your wants and needs met?

Good, now it’s time to pay 
With your vote for me today 
Prove your loyalty and appreciation 
To further our political masturbation
 
Of you my obedient pet 
Just obey 
And please don’t fret
 
We need your mindless conformity 
As we employ our brand of deformity 

Time to keep quiet and do as your told 
As we bring you to heel 
If I may be so bold
 
It’s the same story 
That’s old and retold
 
We prey 
You obey 
And fit the mold 
Of soulless servitude 
To the heartless and cold 
Surprise, surprise 
Your existence has sold 
To the lowest bidder 
Is what I’m told 

Now come my pet 
And submit to the F. O. L. D.
