Listen up, y'all! I've got a vision to share
Of a world where corruption doesn't dare
To rear its ugly head or show its face
Where justice and fairness set the pace
Imagine a place where bribes are extinct
Where honest work is the only link
To success and progress, can you see it?
A society where truth ain't something we cheat
In this world, the powerful serve the weak
Transparency ain't just some politicians speak
It's the air we breathe, the water we drink
The foundation on which we build and think
Creativity explodes when fairness reigns
Innovation bursts from unfettered brains
No more holding back, no more fear
Of speaking truth to those who should hear
Education blooms like wildflowers in spring
Knowledge is power and everyone's king
Science advances, art transcends
In a world where corruption meets its end
Meritocracy's not just a fancy word
It's lived every day, seen and heard
From the streets to the highest office
Where leaders serve, not harvest profits
Picture courts where Lady Justice ain't blind
But sees clearly with an impartial mind
Where the scales tip only with the weight of truth
Not the size of the wallet, you feel me, youth?
In this brave new world, we've broken the chain
Of systemic oppression, of ill-gotten gain
Every voice matters, and every dream can soar
In a society that's fair to its very core
Businesses thrive on innovation, not manipulation
The government serves the people, not some corporation
The media speaks truth, unafraid and bold
A new age of enlightenment, a story untold
But this ain't no fairy tale, no pipe dream
It's a future we can build, a possible regime
It starts with you, with me, with all of us
Standing up for what's right, creating trust
So let's rise, let's make it real
This corrupt-free world, it's our ideal
Where justice flows like a mighty river
And fairness is a gift we all deliver
From the ashes of greed, watch creativity rise
A phoenix of progress, touching the skies
This is our time, our moment to shine
In a world where justice and fairness align!
Let's build this utopia, brick by brick
Where corruption's absence makes innovation tick
A creative society, fair and just
In our hands, in our hearts, in our trust!
Social Justice
Social justice is the fair and just relation between the individual and society.
I am an American
I just want fair and just treatment
wanting my fellow man and government
to represent, me
fairly
A measured explicit and tacit terms
for the distribution of wealth, opportunities
for personal activity and social privileges
this is social justice
fairly
I am black-African American
I just want fair and just treatment
wanting my fellow man and government
to represent, me
fairly
I profess Christ in my life
I am not ashamed to tell my boss or my job
religious discrimination
retail and governmental confinements work on required days
Or your fired
just want a right to be respected
fairly
There are four types of justice
Distributive, procedural, restorative and retributive.
I just want to be equally representative
child labor, miss-cradled
Racism, still hating for the color of our skins
education, teach the same have the same contents of books
Shelter/housing, all should have a descent place affordable place to live
Bullying, corruption jealous ashamed people sorrowful wanting power over you
Medicine, disabled people I must miss some meals sell my used car to afford
poverty I control but yet my governmental task masters really control
I am a Christian
Not ashamed to tell you or the government
I just want fair and just treatment
wanting my fellow man and government
to represent, me
fairly
Economic justice is a component of social justice
It's a set of moral principles
I need equal opportunity created for a sufficient
material foundation upon which to have a dignified, productive, and creative life beyond economics.
to represent, me
fairly
Racism, violence in schools, drug abuse
Unemployment,
Hunger and unfair labor conditions
Main reason we're in this
Is because of individual free-choice process
rarely
I am human caught in this mess
Called social justice?

-From the Passover musical that I wrote, "On Eagles' Wings"-
Allow me just to dream this once
Of things of life, of things of love
Allow me just to sing one song
Of if I could escape from wrong
Of children playing, dancing, laughing
In a home and land their own
Of if we would no more know hunger
For we’d reap what we have sown
Allow me just to dream this once
Oh, what if life were fair and just
Then I’d be free, I’d have a voice
Then I would get to have a choice
Then no more would the whiplash strike me
No more would I scream or cry
Then when I rise I would not fear
The day of work, the foreman’s eye
Allow me just to dream this once
Oh, what if He will save our sons?
And, oh! Could Moses truly be
The one He sent to set us free?
Yehovah, now we have some hope
It seems at last that You shall act
Oh, shall you take our wildest dreams
And truly form them into fact?
No more straw? What are we going to do?
Oh, why did ever I forget?
The things I want I will not get
And if I choose to dream some more
Then things are harsher than before
And what could Moses do to make
That tyrant Pharaoh let us go?
And was he sent to save us?
Things are worse, the answer must be no!
So let me never dream again
Allow me just to speak once more
Of joy and hope you had before
I beg you do not let it go
Although this news is harsh, please know
Though Pharaoh’s heart is hardened now
And, yes, we often wonder why
Yehovah still is strong, He has
A plan, and Pharaoh must comply
I still dare to hope
I wish not to see another sunrise.
I wish not to wake another day.
I don’t want to trudge to another class or
drive down another highway or
let my tone deaf voice breach my lips again.
I want to snuff out my flame.
It’s not that there’s no beauty in this world;
every morning, another bird flies for the first time.
Creation is forever constant
and laughter leaves the world ringing
day in
and day out.
I adore that.
I, Frankenstein’s monster,
of wickedness and of sin,
cast a shadow with every step I take.
Every breath I breathe pollutes the air,
crisp from the autumn days
but dead like fallen leaves once we cross paths.
I’m a blackbody that keeps on growing,
and my Hawking radiation burns all to ash and embers.
My self-implosion is a fate that’s fair and just;
the only Good choice is to collapse entirely.
You proud, Plato?
Children, our most treasured wealth shouldn’t grow maimed
In joyful living and the art of life, they need to be groomed
At a young age when they are flexible and pliable
A mother’s gentle guidance will help them not to stumble
I feel I should extend my guiding hand to teach
How to live happy and attain the stature they should reach
I would teach my children a dozen and more values
To be fair and just in all they do and shine in life like jewels
I insist, from the right path they should never waver
Also, to speak out their mind without fear or favor
They should learn to love their body with all its flaws
Keeping fit, but knowing it is internal beauty that glows
Train them to ensure personal hygiene, keep things tidy
Follow a system, be punctual and in decisions, be steady
Inculcate in them a love for their parents, siblings, and the family
Treating all men with respect and love, facing criticism calmly
Make them diligent in their study, dutiful and punctilious
Braving life with its ups and downs, springing back with resilience
Train them to accept that life offers a mixed pack of joy and grief
And hardly there is time to waste in lamentation, as life is brief
Train them to be vigilant not to fall in traps set by predators
As, in our world, there are masked assassins and imposters
Above all, make them love God, giving the reins of life to His hands
Knowing things are never in man’s control, but everything works as He plans

12 Things You’d Teach Your Child
Sponsor- Matt Caliri
Purple laced with hint of black, bound together with golden sash,
placed upon this wooden box, sealed shut with silver locks,
upon the shoulders the coffin carried, placed inside the horse drawn carriage,
procession leads me through the streets, to place my casket six foot deep,
as the sound of earth pounds on the lid, I awaken, trapped within,
frantic screams and scratch of nails, my call for rescue seems to fail,
fear and horror at this my fate, as oxygen makes its quick escape,
logic tells me I will die, the world oblivious to my desperate cries
still I struggle to survive, but it's no use, I 'm buried alive
Damn them all, they will pay, I leave a curse on them this day..,
"once darkness takes my light from me, my spirit angered shall break free
I will come to each in turn at night, blood stained and twisted from this burial fright,
I will place my cold clawed hands upon your face, escort your soul to a burial state,
you will fight to stay alive, for every breath that I deny,
Death shall come and set you free as I take you six foot deep with me"
As my eyes begin to close, the color of death begins to show,
my lips are blue my skin so pale, on the sea of death my soul sets sail
Ashes to Ashes, dust to dust, my vengeance will be fair and just.
Rest in peace, no not for me, the blessing of the RIP
I have much I need to do, and now I'm coming after you.
In a land where shadows cast their might,
A group of educators, brave and bright,
Stood as champions with a common plea,
To set their nation's children free.
Amidst the rolling hills, they gathered near,
Their vision, a beacon, bold and clear,
To mould a system is fair and just,
In which every child could freely trust.
Ms. Lotus, their unwavering guide,
With passion burning, she did confide,
"Our mission's aim, so stubborn,
Is to break the chains of an unjust reputation.”
With voices like a thunderous wave,
They sought to mend what none could save,
A pebble cast in waters deep,
A transformation from a dream to keep.
The first decree, a radiant sunbeam,
"Access for all," their hopeful dream.
School doors flung wide, a welcome sight,
For every child, a guiding light.
"Targeted support," the next they wrote,
For those in need, a lifeline to tote.
A hand reaching out, a caring touch,
To lift each child, their spirits clutch.
Then "Inclusion" took its place,
A celebration of every face.
Diversity as strength, they'd teach,
A tapestry where all could reach.
With "Quality" like fertile ground,
Education blossomed all around.
A garden of knowledge, rich and grand,
Where eager minds could understand.
"Accountability," the final vow,
To raise the bar, to make them plough,
Through challenges, they'd climb so high,
No child is left behind, under the sky.
Years rolled on, a transformation bold,
Their tale of change, a story told,
Of shadows turned to hopeful light,
A dream now realised, burning bright.
Allegory weaves their tale with grace,
Of educators who dared to chase,
A vision born of unity,
To set their nation's children free
The wild predator and the mild easy prey in fact,
Make a weird, uneasy complement of a wild act:
Only for hunger,wrath, sport, or pride in the main;
For food, power, possession or vanity is it slain ;
Yet the rage and chase yond the bound is thrust,
Where no true reason nor use seems fair and just
While one kills the other to live and breed it strain
Need finds no seizing urge to wipe out in disdain
Quests, expedition, and crusade with tall a claim
Haven't left behind a great,noble and ideal name
Death is the be all and end all of every existence
And in the cycle,to dust returns the subsistence !
There is a fable our folks used to tell,
With a witch, a knight, a princess and a dragon as well,
in the end, the witch and the dragon were dead:
both fell in a water stream, their blood mixed with the weed,
the knight rode thru the summit with the princess
holding fast his chest, on the horse back, motionless.
No one hears when the story is over,
The book is closed; it has a brown leather cover,
And the children went to sleep,
But the silence is too intense and so hard to keep:
What did happen with them, before ever after,
When they rode to the sunset together?
The princess leaned and closed her dark eyes,
resting all journey, all three long days,
Even when the storm was strong:
She was safe and knew there could be no wrong,
She finally found a place both fair and just
Where she could rest with her heart filled with trust.
The knight did not need to say a single word,
He was silent even when thanked the Lord,
But as he heard her soft rhythmic breath
He also saw a glimpse of Heaven in this Earth:
With her sleeping embrace
He was rewarded with blessed grace.
And this happens outside the book,
Do not try to open and look,
The Knight and the princes are only inside
Their own wandering mind,
Unless another tale brings the witch and the dragon back
You will have to follow their remaining track.
the State of Arizona has signed a very crazy law
that in the opinion of most Americans has some major flaws
it requires each and every person who trods upon their land
to walk around with proof of citizenship papers in their hands
they say it's not racial profiling, they say it's fair and just
to make an assumption about anyone's immigration status
I don't know, maybe it's me
but doesn't this bill violate our basic civil liberties
Arizona is the only state which wanted no part of that federal determination
that made the birthday of the Rev. Dr. M.L. King a day of national celebration
I don't know about you America but I see the writing on the wall
If we don't stop this Bill the integrity of America will fall
most every person in the United States is a product of immigration
be it first, second, third, fourth or fifth generation
how dare those racists in Arizona try to pass this crazy law
that undermines everything that America stands for
"Give me your tired, your hungry and your poor" are the words on the Statue of Liberty
yet this law that demands proof of status is an Unconstitutional absurdity
the Police in turn won't be able to deal with any real crime
if they're going around asking people for citizenship papers all the time
no warrant is required, just a reasonable suspicion
but who has the wherewithall to determine that decision?
Heaven forbid if they should ever encounter a child
would they say "papers please" with a badge and a smile?
this is some BS, why can't they see that this bill is wrong?
and who in hell gave them the authority to tell people where they belong?
this Bill I call "Papers Please" this Bill we must fight
so that every American will sustain their inalienable rights
for this country to be like South Africa was with its aparthied situation
would be a grievous mistake and a true abomination
"Papers Please" Arizona's Senate Bill 1070 we must defeat
we need to let the State of Arizona know that we will take it to the streets
