Destruction should end

Warfare is deception
Warfare is destruction
Destruction of human dignity
Destruction of peace
Peace is expensive
Peace is essential
Essential to build humanity
Essential to joyful living
Living with respect
Living with dignity
Dignity is a right
Dignity is a want
Want to feel the grace
Want to feel the life
Life is special
Life is precious
Precious is knowledge
Precious is honesty
Honesty in living
Honesty in thinking
Thinking always positive
Thinking always mindful
Mindful is to be calm
Mindful is to learn calm
Calm in facing hatred
Calm in facing jealousy
Jealousy is inefficiency
Jealousy is inablity
Inability in achieving
Inability in contentment
Contentment is core of simplicity
Contentment is wealth
Wealth is being healthy
Wealth is to feel prosperity
Prosperity is state of mind
Prosperity is litmus test
Test to see one’s gratitude
Test to see one’s faith
Faith in oneself
Faith in one’s soul
Soul is best friend
Soul is consciousness
Consciousness is purity in thought
Consciousness is to be in peace
Peace should be found when alive
Peace is not sought at end
End is divine conviction
End is potential of life
Life…
Living…

Imagine

Imagine racism never existed and borders were drawn only on maps, not hearts,
where justice walked freely, not fenced in by law,
where truth wasn’t filtered through prejudice charts,
and peace wasn’t something we only foresaw.

Imagine ableism never existed and their name was put to use,
not reduced to produce, not judged by what they could produce.                                                
Not a flaw to erase, not a sign of inefficiency,
But a different kind of strength, a different kind of ability.

Imagine neglect never existed and every child was seen as whole,
Where safety was standard, not a goal,
where bedtime meant peace not dread,
and no one had to flinch at what wasn’t said.

Imagine neurodiversity was never called a defect,
where difference is power not something to correct.
Where stimming is sacred, not something to hide,
And every brain is honored with pride.

I'm no John Lennon but I believe the world can live as one,
not in perfect harmony, but in work that’s never done.
In the mess, in the fight, in the breath we share,
in the truth that justice is always there.

Premium Member Trump Delivers!

US President Donald Trump delivers! 

Disappearing people, 
people aren’t illegal
The inefficiency of DOGE
Nothing makes sense, it’s all a mirage
Ignoring the Supreme Court,
immigrant prisoner’s fees come up short
Drastic aid cuts kill people overseas, 
bringing back rare disease
I’m not bashing the Trump agenda 
Sipping a five-dollar coffee and Splenda
It’s inflation, and his
insatiable appetite for tariffs in other nations
Got his gimmick and applause
Worldwide leaders upset because
outrageously tariffed
Worse than even liberals predicted!
Firing government workers,
ridding twitter twerkers
Best say 2020 election was rigged,
and that other candidate cheated
Silicon Valley beware,
AI undermining gives a scare
Pardon the bad guys,
lock up innocent lives
Tariff-related market collapse,
Gerrymandering make new maps
Farmers forced to overregulate
Under lableing’s blind fate
Suing the media,
can’t fact check on Wikipedia
Bye bye D.O.D
end of US Army? 
Rename it, department of war,
forget defense, think of horror
I mean, I could just keep going
Let’s see what is missing?
Government workers fired
Lack of qualified candidates hired 
Take his family and RFK JR radical,
gets checks from pharmaceutical 
Braking the law shooting-up everyday,
what would the dead Kennedy's say?
What isn’t missing is Trump in the White House
and his trophy wife spouse
And so instead of unabashedly bawling my eyes out
I’ll do what it takes to mellow doubt
That’s only half of it,
Melania spoke out, I’m now in a bad state of regret
Give me a drag—I need cigarette!

Lousy Postal Service

(This is a fictional poem)

Last week I received a letter that said I won a million dollar sweepstake.
I got so mad that I started to shake.
I know that the postal service can be slow.
But this letter was mailed to me twenty years ago.
I went to the post office to complain about this.
But believe it or not, they said it was good service.
They said that because of the postal service's inefficiency, I was lucky to get the 
letter at all.
That pissed me off so I kicked the postmaster in the balls.
But that turned out to be a federal offense.
I was arrested and now I'm facing a lengthy prison sentence.
Now I will rot in jail.
All because of the inefficiency of the mail.

Introspective Agony

Introspective Agony



  Shattering all the imagery, my mirrored visions lost inside
              Catapulting out the memories I should've never left behind
                   Gliding on deceptive Angel Wings, wind chilled in silent lies
                         Gasping for the air I need while breathing my goodbyes

                         To arrogant to accept the unacceptable things of fate
                         The paradox of this frantic Being annihilating what I create
                         Scientific mathematically writing solutions that won't equate
                         Walking the inside out of all the emotions we complicate

                        Last chance thought collectively, the three of me must decide
                   Is suffering worth the agony if in happiness we never cry
             The inefficiency in disaster seeking, two worlds one mind collide
         Time lost in the catastrophe of never living but have I died...



                                                         Revised: 05/14/17

Elected Rejected

Discrediting plausibility 
by shredding their humility 
to a place of vulnerability 
devoured by inabilities 
cowardice incompetence 
showered into consciousness 
empowered causing confidence 
validation found in compliments 
a false sense of accomplishment 
resort to intense punishment 
to knock down their competitors 
who speak of truth not metaphors 
that could reverse their actual course 
see them falling through floorboards 
far from craved credited applause 
a status low as though blackballed 
on salaries always needing more 
survival gifting no rewards 
a personality to be ignored 
social skills which leave them bored 
testing humans to their core 
needing a win but cannot score 
electrical without a cord 
no plug socket or power source 
as management you were assured 
entitlement had power stored 
defensive walls they reinforced 
the canon fire rains then pours 
constant drainage of resource
when liars reign without remorse 
demonstrate through acts of war 
axing allies no friends of yours 
switching sides ending support 
backtracking and invasions fall 
forward thinking backward thoughts 
two faced fronts fights are fought
defend positions within the fort 
saving supply routes to the port 
lowered standards poor results 
lose respect face the onslaught 
enclosing can’t escape assaults
laced with disgrace of dense insults
unsatisfactory falling short 
the cost of power steeply soars 
run out of bullets fight with swords 
sticks and stones not canon balls 
back to basics of infant schools 
learning how the mighty fall 
turns out you might be a fool 
from the authority you adore 
to unemployed and lost it all 
from big and powerful to small 
once important not anymore 
once arrogant above the law 
apparently now unloveable
a tyrant silenced by rivals 
the outlaw downfall locked indoors 
freedom within the prison walls 
abusing boundaries horribly 
so far beyond authority 
explicitly and vicously 
fully of inefficiency 
faults and inability 
soulless animosity 
dethroned without the sovereignty 
lost lonely in unpopularity.

Premium Member My Grandma Deemma

MY GRANDMA DEEMMA

    My Grandma, whom I called Deemma
    bathed me in showers of limitless love and blessings.
    Those feelings I am still carrying in my life.
     Deemma! An ideal hostess not to even guess,
    most competent in domestic chores and household management    
  Grandpa! An unsuccessful lawyer with irregular income low and slow.
  Deemma met up his inefficiency, never blaming rather running  ideal family.

   Off and on, in vacations, I had spent days with her.
   She narrated her life-long struggle and concluded‘While raising up kids, 
    whole day’s ceaseless work made me frantically fatigued. 
   At late night I had to seek for a small space to throw myself in bed.
   Yet, as I took glance on sleeping faces of my kids, 
    I realized, I as the happiest woman in the world.’

     She had only primary education permissible for women in those days.
   But her craze reached her daughters and son to succeed as toppers                                                                                                                               

  She was my idol holding extraordinary skill in sewing, knitting, embroidering.
   All the dresses of her grand kids were stitched by her.
   Lots of charming dolls excelling in handicrafts were gifted to me.  
   Once she voiced to me ‘You call me Deemma, a typical address to old lady.
   Dear my child, I am aged, but mind is still young not coping up with body.’
  
   Now being a Grandma I had to sense the same ruthless truth.
    She had bestowed me compassion and care in opulence.
   I got no scope to repay but only to offer my gratitude as tribute in silence.
   Trying to honor with my tribute roaming through reminiscence.

Keep Your Laws Off My Body

You march calling for taxes on
things that you think we should not eat,
tax the soda, tax the chips,
and above all tax the meat!
We point out that you have no right,
you stamp your feet and raise your voice,
utterly convinced that we
should be deprived of our free choice.
We chose to smoke or choose to drink,
aware of the potential risks,
the fact you can’t control our acts
just seems to make you more pissed,
then you badger the government,
“Use the law to make them see!”
Mind your business, no one else’s,
keep you damn laws off my body.

You claim health care should have no cost,
and be provided without charge
by governments that cannot run
departments for registering cars.
You think I should give up my health
to those power-hungry minds
who lie and drag you through the courts
if you dare to expose their crimes?
They let people suffer so
they can win a few extra votes,
you don’t think that they would 'let die'
any ‘inconvenient’ sick folk?
Institutions ever corrupt,
and cursed with inefficiency,
have no business treating people,
keep you damn laws off my body.

You claim that every woman should
be able to kill without regret,
as long as it’s their own child,
and has not left the womb yet.
Never mind the barbarism,
there is something that I must say:
I’m not part of my mother’s flesh,
I’ve got my own damn DNA!
Some claim it doesn’t matter since
I cannot survive on my own,
but neither can a five-year old,
and yet murder is not condoned.
I’ve never seen the Earth before,
but I’m a unique entity,
You cut me up and say it’s fine?
Keep you damn laws off my body!
