Premium Member Built On Lies

The caged animal was told:
You have no right to light

The captured beast was told:
You have no right to fight

The tortured slaves were told:
You have no right to rights

The people with different coloured skin were told:
You have no right to love

The people who cared were told:
You have no right to feel

The humanitarians were told:
You have no right to give

The people who disagreed were told:
You have no right to live

Men make men kneel

Men make animals feel that living is not a right

Men make men see

That their life is not their life

That their life is built on lies


What the Outcome Might Bring

We are not about the
 Color of the skin.
   The substance of self,
 Lies deep with-in.

   We are not about
 Judging our neighbor.
   Or who you believe
 Is your savior?

   We are not about ignoring
 The homeless on the corner.
   We don’t judge if your
 A native or foreigner.

   We are all about giving 
 Everyone a chance.
   You screw up, then you
 Pay in advance.

   We are all about lending
 A helping hand.
   We support our
 Local clan.

   We are all about standing
 Up for our rights.
   Along our journey we
 Have many fights.

   We are all about taking 
 Care of one another
   One hand washes
 The other.

   We are all about helping
 A family in need.
   Even if we argue
 And disagreed.

   We are all about our Mom’s,
 Our flag and apple pie.
   We accept one another
 Even if we don’t see eye to eye.

   We are all about doing
 The right thing.
   No matter what the
 Outcome might bring.

Premium Member Glitzy Santa

Glitzy Santa was a cross-dressing queen
He is ridiculous!
He is crazy!
She is beautiful!
She is marvelous!
Totally obscene!  Totally wonderful!
You see our family disagreed.

Christmas is Jesus
Christmas is shopping
Christmas is cooking
Christmas is ho-ho-ho.

Well, I am ho-ho-ho, Glitzy Santa said.
Giving them his come hither look
Flashing his rhinestones 
In a sexy way.

His grandmother thought it was fantastic!
His mother was on the fence.
His father slammed the door and played rock music in the barn.
Grandpa slept through it.

When I grow up, I’m going to be a glitzy Santa too! Said the four-year-old.
You can’t be a glitzy Santa, you’re a girl! The five-year-old said.
Can too! Glitzy Santa told her.
You can be anyone you want to be.

Premium Member The General's Last Call

========================

Today I see before me men, who last were only lads
It's been my greatest honor to have acted as a guide
to you, not only warriors but the finest of comrades
and I'd march any distance, if such men I march beside

We go forth into battle, fully trained and well prepared, 
determination like a tree, together, we have grown
Ahead, rules of engagement state that lives shall not be spared
That said, if fate arrives for us, we'll not greet her alone!

Though we fight for their freedom, some will villify us still
The disagreed might say that war is something to condemn
How quickly they forget that they enlisted us to kill
or to be killed so, if you live, remember this to them

No leader's heart has felt such pride as you've inspired in mine
I call you, then, to arms, men. Follow me, now, to the line!

Premium Member THE FOLDED FLAG

I used to be proud to fly our American flag as from childhood I was taught
I used to fly our American flag without giving it a second thought.

But I see a divided country now…one that is quickly moving away from democracy 
and even though there are people out there who see things differently than me

in my mind something has changed…
I don’ t believe our country adheres to the same values as it did before…
which saddens me and is the reason I don’t fly our flag anymore.

In our cabin between two bedrooms in a place of honor in the hall
a framed folded Unites States flag is hanging on the wall.

It was presented to our family after Deborah’s father died…
It is a reminder of our nations gratitude for his service…his sacrifice
and is a source of family pride.

This flag is folded 13 times..to represent the 13 original United States
and there is a different meaning in each fold the flag-folder creates.

When the 13th fold is completed…the stars end up on top…and what’s more
It’s in the triangular shape just like the hats George Washington’s soldiers wore…

I love this flag as it represents the country Deborah’s father help preserve…
I love what it meant to him…and to everyone who served.

This flag holds special meaning for our family…
it reminds me of a time when our leaders disagreed but were wise…
for they knew what keeps a democracy running is hard work and compromise.

So this is the flag I will continue to salute….until such a time as when…
the flag that represents America today…stands for democracy again.

The Water-Well

The water-well
There is near the houses a deep well
you can´t stick a bucket on a rope, much ropes  were needed.
They used to hire a man usually the village idiot
to spend his life hauling up buckets of water.
Villagers believed the water came from the Yanjing river in China.
A man who had gone to school disagreed; it is a deep
underground river, he said. For this, he was disliked.
One day he fell down the well, but since it was not
man made and smooth a big stone sticking out saved him
from falling all the way down.
Broke his leg in the fall, he did.
With a dangling leg he had to claw himself up, however
they gave him water to drink, his struggle made him thirsty.
When he got out, he spoke a strange language
the villagers, thought was Chines, it never struck them
he was stark raving mad.
Now, an electric pump was installed, they saw him limping
out of the village talking gibberish.

Abandoned

While there seems no life to live with her 
He flew far beyond the reach of eyes 
For all he disagreed keeps to recur 
Like she will never with him complies 

On her part, she knows how to get his ears
Into her own world of fantasies  
Oh yeah, for many years 
But now, he sees all as fallacies 

Meanwhile, their families are also tired
And can no longer stand the stress of the union 
That they care not what transpired 
Even it resulted to reunion 

"If thou be real file divorce"
But the man wouldn't 
May be he still heart their concourse 
Yet, to stay around, he couldn't 

Lonely with her plight 
Sobbing for her blind date in love 
That now steers her up in fright 
Of the precious regrets she is to live

Thoughtfully, she swims in her deserted views
Positively, she vowed to bear the cross with luck 
Lonely, she drives profusely and aimlessly into blues 
Forcefully, she has to handle the 

Her wards now keep her company 
Though raising them has been so hard 
Many are times she don't care of the cheerful agony 
In all, she duly have learnt to play her card 

Never and ever shall the inexperienced people understand 
The rain of pains she bathe in 
Unless each has been through such to make her stand 
To have been labelled a heroine 

No luck in this case tossing the coin 
No mask as well to cover the scars 
She prays to others, it is ever a Boyne
Even her enemies, not to ever play its guitar

One day, she thinks he shall come back 
Promise see herself, he shall not be rejected
Or to be of lack 
Even when she is been affected 

Then; to him, she will confess 
Her love as pure and true 
Without any weakness 
Or something of worth to start anew 

"I love you so much 
But you don't know 
It seems you hate me 
But I don't care 

You are the zeal 
That can heal
You are the beauty 
That has learnt me my duty. " 

What if she never get to touch
That he never returns to show 
You love is the key 
To place on your face-- a new cheer...

Premium Member They Say

They say who lives, or dies
and what is the truth or lies.
That is what you voted for
they say, so don’t be sore
when, one day, you can’t drink beer
and you’re in jail for being dear
all your friends are scared to speak
because, they say, you are a freak.
And all you did was post on X
not even something, sordid, sex
but you just disagreed with them
they say, and now condemn
you as right-wing
whichever way you swing
for they don’t care or hear.
They say they know just who you are;
they tell that by your car,
what you eat, your zip code;
the car that’s just been towed.
You will do time for what you say
for free speech only goes one way
and you said something they don’t like
You dirty, grubby little tyke.

Premium Member Counting On Change


   1. One little brown bear,
       Wanted to shave all his hair.

   2. Two anxious alligators disagreed.
       Thought the little brown bear,
       Would look to different without any hair.

   3. Three geese flying by laughed at the bear.
       "You could have had feathers instead of hair!"

   4. Four ants moved away.
       Property values would drop with a little brown bear with no hair.

   5. Five fish stuck on a string,
       Said they had never seen such a thing!
       A little brown bear without any hair.

   6. Six snakes slithered into a hole,
       "What will happen if our children see,
         A little brown bear without any hair?"

   7. Seven goats rummaging in the trash.
       "It's just a fad and will not last!"

   8. Eight great Apes discussed in a tree.
       " Is there a law? Do we have to agree?"

   9. Nine spotted fawns thought it all out.
       "We start with spots and then we are without!"

  10. Ten little brown bears all shaved their hair.
        Now they're a rock band called Bare Bears,
        A wild success from who knows where!

Our Brothers Is Our Problem

Our brother is our problem
I told my brothers 
I love them 
I knew I was not lying
Cos I was born to live 
And if I must live 
I must go along in life 
With my kind 
Cos iron sharpens iron 
And that is not a lie 
So I put my trust on those 
I love 
This also is not a crime 
Or is it ??

Our brother is our problem
I use to worry 
Worry about strangers
Before now but 
Now I changed 
Cos I see our brothers 
Turn enemies
I wonder why cos 
They always disagreed
In a good quest 
They no longer believe
In unity despite
They claim to unity us 
Yet there action speaks
Who they are 

Our brothers is our problem
Our needs are heavy 
But the answers are easy 
Yet we are full of needs 
Cos our own kind are 
Sitting on what should 
Be our right 
Strongly disorganising
Our ability to our vision
Powerful killing our dignity
Always imposing with  out
Respect
We have lost our ground 
And that is so sad 
So sad that our problem 
Are our own 
Our very own brothers
Here you see our problems
Are not from strangers 
No not no more cos now 
Our brothers is our problem
