The Beautiful Stories Will Make Me

—Confession of a man of no use—

The beautiful stories make tears stand in my eyes,
does it mean that I am still alive?

Although there are lots of sad stories that end to be the beautiful ones 
surround us, I don’t thrust myself even into a scene of a little episode,
and effort to change it as to a beautiful one but faltering, exert myself 
to find some way outs. Is it because I am nothing but a jerk?

Although no one will honor or decorate the death of the warriors 
who fought in the jungle to feed hungry ones, or no one will pray 
for the souls of kind-hearted people who renounced the worldly honor, 
and step deeper and deeper into the remote village to become the good friends 
for the forsaken ones shall die,

their cries in the air and struggle to win justice may echo 
in the jungle incessantly, the worthwhile lives they lived through
will remain as pride to their lost souls, or in the memory of the forgotten ones.

I may be a spiritless jerk because I do not make the careful consideration 
of a prudent chess player before being each move I make, but live from 
force of habit as a routine in these disgusting days, and as a consequence, 
I am not able to distinguish good from evil or to choose good out of evil any more.  

Nonetheless, for I still blush with shame of myself 
when I hear a beautiful story, as before, I am alive I suppose.

To Mama

This is for the sleepless nights you spent
thinking 'bout life's ups and downs and in betweens
For the efforts you continuously exert, though unseen
For the hungry stomach you choose to ignore
Just so on our plate you could put more

This is for the silent tears you have cried
For days when no one seems to be on your side
For the words you want to shout but chose to keep in your heart
For trying to keep things together, though it tears you apart 

For being soft but yet sturdy and strong
For making me feel, I always belong
For setting aside your youth so I could enjoy mine 
For your sweet smile even during the toughest of times

This is for your courage amidst your fears
For choosing joy despite the tears
This is for the battle you've won over the years
This is for you mom. Cheers!

Premium Member Scared

Scared
   by Odin Roark

Fear saved the fly
The spider wept

Fear kept men alive
While Napalm paved the way

Fear keeps the 1% insulated
Handlers and mental bodyguards 
At their beckon call

The mongrel on Manhattan’s frozen streets
Knows well the virtue of fear

Yet

Never will we see our species
Handle being scared like an animal

Where the lesser evolution will defend
We the sentient superiors will think only offense

How beautiful 
How heart wrenching0
The defense elephants
Rhinos
Big cats
Exert to protect only that
Which is their province
Their instinctual responsibility
Wanting not to harm the perp
But only to ward off the aggression
Escape to safer surroundings.

Why does man feel he must instigate aggression
To justify his superiority?
Why do we continue our behavior
Moving science
Technology
Mind set
Ever closer to android resolve?

Might we be so complacently satisfied
We ignore the advances of AI?
Are we really so consumed with the media clap trap
We’re becoming more and more ignorant of information
Vet proof stats that tell us 
Wake up

And yet

To sit in a quiet attic
Observe the simple
Yet perfectly designed survival
Instinct of the spider
Is to become aware

It’s all about living in harmony
Not acrimony

Wait patient spider
What you need for another day of survival
Is but waiting

Love nature
Or perish

Continuation Regarding Lunatic Roosting Inside Me Noggin Iv

upon one or other posterior cheeks 
of ma bony derriere no lie,
the sharp pain of the needle 
stoically I bore, while my 
thoughts adrift upon cerebral raft 
of mental weaknesses de nigh
yule lovely bones epitomized 
by refusal to eat - 

no hands could pry
jaws of death clutched stranglehold 
on life without bing shy, 
heavily impinged ability 
to function, and fatigued 
when aye did try
to exert myself even minimally, 
and now wonder why....
 
An accomplice devilishly game 
more dishabille coaxing 
than any bon mot
inside Kapellmeister Matthew Scott 
possessed upper hand. 
lack of will power 
to expunge did rot
exhausting cerebral dual
nihilistic paradigm plagued 
ever since a tot.

Mindset robbed positive growth 
development locked with lost weight
indifference affected gamut of other persons 
ambition to terminate tender teen 
dominated, wrought asunder 
aim toward deadly state 
impinged witnessing barely squeaking 
thru majority grades rate
to fail paid poor dividends reaped
Absent perseverance found pate
never sought academic support, 
hence high school diploma hate
to acknowledge, when 
no effort made plus spectral 
of near invisibility 
did NEVER steal a kiss nor date.
 
Thus an attempt for companionship 
(even if limited to online realm
reasonable rhyme I tried to create
also cathartic, holistic, and therapeutic  
courtesy linkedin words
mental anguish I alleviate.

Premium Member My Green Thumb

There was a time when only weeds survived
My green thumb as I tended soil and seeds
Plants so stunning, my nurturing deprived
Of the sunshine’s love, the sprinkling who feeds
Only mom’s gentleness and grace revived
The lingering of the droughts and the weeds
Bringing grace to the soil with kind showers
Healing my plants so they would bring flowers

Over time, plants I nurtured often sighed
Wishing for a gentling touch, so tender
Their subtle beauty would surely abide
Amazing with buds stirring such splendor
With many years of hopelessness, I tried
Forcing my green thumb into surrender
There would be silent days of drought and dread
Days of raising the lovely flower bed

With all said and done, I had just begun
To know the joy of playing in the dirt
So there beneath the quiet morning sun
I learned to let go, let my heart exert
All the work of my hands with so much fun
Inspiring, the flowers grew a convert
For all my days I would always remain
Expert in flowers, my green thumb did reign

Premium Member Painting a Panorama

PAINTING a PANORAMA


      I turn it's  part while painting a panorama.
      bathing  sinking  in  beauty and. charisma,
      unfolding  petals. of  flowers  with aroma.

     While painting a panorama I turn it's part
     Dormant  desires,  dedication,  dream to exert,
     Blending merging  never letting  my  mind. apart.

      While  painting. a panorama  me it's part to turn.
      urging , surging, merging, dissolving:: My. concern,
      displaying kaleidoscope bright or. auburn.

       Turning it's part while. a  panorama to paint,
        selfmanifestation in bold  scenery, not. faint.
         Fantastic artistic touch makes me  prominent.

Hero's Destiny

HERO'S DESTINY

Love is hero's destiny, though a blind faith
But a noble cause,
A dedication without premeditated consideration
Which leads to a pleasant misfortune.
Love is hero's destiny, though a mission impossible,
A proud and brave feat
But a phase of dying by inches
Which makes the casualty born-again afterwards.
Love is hero's destiny, though a life time voyage
But a fatal experience
Which could lead to a fatal catastrophe with injuries
That could claim a life or exert lasting scars
Love is hero's destiny, though a voracious appetite
But a perpetual starvation
And worrisome moods if penniless
Which is an impulse to invite intrigues.
Love is hero's destiny, though a whole time job
And a transportable disturber
Which create a never ending suffering,
A death in harness and what not.
Love is hero's destiny, though a phenomenon undefined
But a lost fool's paradise
And also proud sensations like ******
Which enslaves or elope with the mind:
It is a flowing river and there is no way out.
May heavens bless the true lovers with solace and comforts!

The Y Intercept Complex

The professor launches one of his speeches
He is talking of graphs and predictive's
He is talking of probabilities and outcomes
Abu raises his hand, Yes tell us what you think
He is prompted by the short jovial professor

What about the Y intercept says Abu
Puzzled.. are you talking about an out-lier
Then the professor moves to the light switch
Then tap.. on and off.. its a light bulb moment
The Y intercept is the hand that made it all

Choosing to manifest and exert influence
Why do you do that the professor queries
They then launch a philosophical discourse
Till the end of the lecture satisfied
They are filled now partaking knowledge

Premium Member A Magic Ocean

I recognize your vivacious gaze
A saffron blaze as speckled as the sun
And how you framed your lips
I despise having to say goodbye
Thus, our ethereal realm is descrying.

caused by the sham of wholeness
A nebula sparked a throb in my heart
Innocence is lost at an early age
until the moon swallows it all, I wage.
 
I was jolted awake when we spoke
Until her love-worn heart broke
At first light, a human spirit awoke.

Now I will tell the terrible truth
Nor exert effort, as this is really smooth
Our hapless path had been specified
It was the source of a haphazard journey.

I frequently sit and ponder
Yet I love to rhyme, – particularly to wander
On what oceans do you set sail?

However, the sun never dries the dew
on a dreary shore where no air blew
Breeze sighed amber codgers too
Whatever was lost is now null and void.
