"Intransigence: characterized by refusal to compromise or to abandon an often extreme position or attitude : UNCOMPROMISING" - Merriam Webster
No money had he to buy a new house
to come up with a huge down payment,
yet he refused to rent or to live with family
as he was repeatedly advised.
He borrowed the down payment money instead.
Renting is for losers, he says,
and "I always must live on my own."
He sinks deeper and deeper in debt.
His funds do not cover his living expenses,
yet he simply won't do the appropriate things
to better his situtation.
He keeps all his dogs that are costing more money
for trips to the vet and the food that they eat.
He goes out and buys them Burger King treats -
chicken nuggets.
Those untrained dogs pee all over his carpet.
He’d rather his house stink than give up one dog.
Examples of his improvidence and intransigence abound.
He’s sitting on gold and some silver -
enough that would pay off a lot of his debts.
But he tells us, oh no, I can’t cash that in.
That’s for future emergencies
(like when the world ends).
A more bullheaded and sickly old man
I never have met.
He tells all the world he never will die,
and I’m starting to believe it!

Red and white stripes...lights up our
confidence and pride for the early-
aged history of the USA...vibrant and
graceful with victory
Enlighten the eager eyes of many
US citizens - Americans -
enlightened with appreciation of
liberty and freedom of speech in
this cherished country; millions of
smiles exchange... we embrace the
meaning of change, which is a
challenging chore for many
Don't dismiss the American flag,
swaying courageously with spiralling
sympathy and serenity
Willpower is portrayed as the stars
in the dead of night - nightfall
catches us off guard!
Honor the incredible symbol;
introduce us to fantastic flight
I want to be as eloquent as an eagle,
endorsed in light
Time spent in America is a dream
come true literally
Elegance reigns upon the country
into my smile is painted with
gladness and awesomeness
combined
And forgive America's bittersweet
past - its history packaged into
school books
Never forget the positive side of life
- at least we have freedom and a
grand future in store - God's
Kingdom... let's pass this test!
Drive away the fear of missing out
on a wonderful event
Boldness is shown 100% on this
most magnificent flag of royalty and
brilliant... decorated with dignity
and confidence, meet by men's
hands...
Let me catch a glimpse of it every
dawn and dusk
Ultimately, our future will be as
warm and playfully benevolent as a
dolphin... going against the waves of
descending motion
Extreme mesmeric wonders and
enhancing jubilance in Miracles will
bestow upon US amd we'll be as
nourished as thousands of trees
after a rainstorm...and as they all
say, " After a storm there is a
rainbow"
Time slips away as life does,
they give us enough clues
how to live and prosper;
many refuse the knowledge
they provide and put it aside...
is there the one who's clever?
Be aware that not living
life according to the commandments,
it's shortened it by years,
being a portent testimony of grief
to a controversial belief;
who has lived long enough
can explain their feeling
of extreme delightfulness...
instead of thinking about death!
Finding understanding is not harder than
looking for a trustworthy, humble heart
which has no greed inside, only compassion;
Has anybody found it and dispelled their distrust?
O unfair life ragefully bringing darkness upon
the glorious dreams not yet transformed into realistic visions,
these resentful thoughts are the echoes of battles not won...
ravens circling over the wounded bodies in mortal agony,
isn't the gushing of their blood a cry for imminent clemency?
Doesn't this bleak spectacle attest to Man's unmercifulness?
If a scream is prevented from exhaling the choking breath,
what could one do to escape this realm of oppressed sentiment?
Exhale twice and let it fly to where mercy abolishes the rod of torment,
where humans arent' as cruel as Seth, the merciless god of death!
A boy as gentle as a doe,
Who's friends opened his eyes,
To how strong he can be,
He leaves behind his broken ties,
A girl afraid of dying,
A brilliant girl who's mind was bejeweled,
So encouraged by friends,
Who treated her like she ruled,
A boy of lightning talent,
As calm as the rain,
All his friends around him,
Helped him talk about any pain,
A girl with a way of words,
With charms so bright,
A neglected, but loved child of an actor,
Her friends brought her light,
A boy who flowed like the water,
Whose laughter was a key,
A steadfast rock for others,
But his friends held his head above his sea,
A girl who liked sticking to plans,
And her brilliant ideas,
But sometimes she let go,
And her friends caught all her fears,
A boy who tinkered and built,
Full of jokes and fire,
Too late his friends realized how they valued him,
But he came back, never seemed to tire,
A girl of extreme bravery,
A great leader to all,
Who stands ready for battle,
Her friends behind her to catch her if she ever falls,
A shadow-filled boy,
Of hidden feeling,
Though he'd never show love,
His shadow his friends where slowly stealing.
Love falls in place timely
You think things beautifully
You may do things carelessly
Hold feelings in place truly.
Love brings two people together
Regardless of differences live ever
Going through tough times never surrender
Mistakes are easy for a forgiver.
Love persist who believe who pursue dream
Dream in city is expensive but can be tame
Courage is fearless, love don't be ashame
Lovers always go break chain to be fame.
Love makes your steps synchonize
Always jive in every situation nice
Not afraid to sacrifice and not accede on lies
In extreme danger life is given as prize.
Colonel Sanders is my rooster's name,
he's quite the specimen when it comes to game.
In the morning he stands up proud
and wakes me up with a crow that's loud.
Next to other roosters he's twice their size,
with love on his mind and mischief in his eyes.
The hens may adore him, but he ain't sweet,
with spurs like daggers above his feet.
In our backyard he rules supreme,
but how he treats the girls you may find extreme.
He scratches and struts for all to see
and when it's time for romance he gets it for free.
Now the Colonel may be as big as big can be,
but I'm afraid he met a girl that's bigger than he.
The Colonel decided to attack my wife's legs,
she pardoned his sin, but said next time we'll eat more than eggs.

I sat next to an old geezer on a park bench
He looked at me, said "I can see you're a mensch"
Let me tell you what I've learned in the past 80 years.
"Oh no", thought I, but his words flew like spears:
"Who can fathom the deviousness of the heart
To know the mind from the face, there is no art.
Woe unto them that call evil good, take it as a clue
If they can't anchor themselves in the obviously true
Some claim darkness is light, and light dark
If you follow that lighthouse, you'll end up in a shark.
Prepare in advance, no practice leads to error
A peaceful scene then sudden terror
Never underestimate the fury of the wicked
It will come, as the prophet predicted.
You can work too hard, and not work smart
Get your sleep, take a walk, create some art
Your health must survive any deadline
Nothing achieved when a sprint is followed by decline.
The old man paused, took a sip of juice
Maybe this was my chance to break loose
I looked for a polite way to flee
But I was exhausted from my weekly game of Rugby.
"Death and life are in the power of the tongue
Words can cut deep even if sweetly sung.
There is no safety for good men, but to believe the worst of those
who when given two paths, the evil one chose.
Be slow to anger, make sure you understand
Incompetence rather than evil, often rules the land.
If a man comes to kill you, kill him first,
But seek truth and be wise, lest the roles reversed.
Do unto others as you want them to do unto you
Often they want their side heard, their point of view.
Hear out the extreme, the foreign, the new
For in the unexpected, there may be wisdom to pursue.
Hypocrisy is the tribute vice gives to what's good
We can't always live up to what we should
"And last," he said earnestly "I must preach
To think before talking, be concise in speech
Don't give strangers advice, for all our sakes
Especially if like me, you made endless mistakes
Be aware of your own contradictions
Know that reality is stranger than fiction.
"Thanks geezer", I said, "but I gotta go
"In the rugby game of life, you must have been a pro
In my hurry to leave my foot fell into a drain
All that advice, and now I have a sprain.
Once upon a dream
Where rainbows are all a gleam
Land filled with rich green
Treasures found in every stream
Once upon a dream
Friends and enemies were once a team
No request was too extreme
But things aren't always what they seem
In the land of a magnificent kingdom
Stands a castle full of boredom
In the corridors are cries of a princess
Held captive inside the enemy's fortress
Trapped inside a gloomy dungeon
And accompanied by a flock of pigeon
The princess lay sleepless day & night
Hoping for a savior, a prince or a knight
Our little tale's coming to an end
A knight in shining armor came in to defend
The damsel in distress which he calls his friend
Once upon a dream and all this came to an end.
Would you sacrifice your own life to save your child?
Would you willingly take their place if they were sent to war?
There's no reason to make such an extreme sacrifice.
All you have to do is discontinue the use of your car.
"What are you crazy?" most would say, "Now you've gone too far.
Without my car I could never get through my day. I can't function without my car."
How sad that we all have become so dependant on this Convenience.
Meanwhile people are being slaughtered for oil as we drive our cars so complacent.
A Car Is A Convenience. It Is NOT A Necessity!
If you lost your car tomorrow you'd still survive, just somewhat inconveniently.
I've been known to start my day at midnight so I can get to work by 7:00 am.
It's one of the inconveniences of using public transportation.
If I wanted to I could buy 3 cars tomorrow and make life more Convenient for me,
but not for as long as people are dying soley to feed the oil industry's greed.
I know that I'll never make a difference because I'm among the minority.
Maybe after too many of our children get slaughtered for oil will others then assimilate me..
..but sadly I doubt that very highly.
Where are you when we need you Ghandi?
Oh, how I come alive in pleasured zone
when passion sears my flesh, flays to bone
Euphoria soars then bursts in rainbowed hue
the universe is made of me and you
your fingers scorch me in their blazing flame
You set each longing free: unchaste, untame
to dominate, you tie my every dream
then give and get your pleasure in extreme
we're bonded in the essence of desire
no other thought but how to quench the fire
Surrender brings release from frenzied pace
I see the glow of love here on your face
They say that heaven waits for those who love
When I'm with you I'm taken up above
