Premium Member Old Maid Games
I recall a card game
probably extending back past the 1950s
called Old Maid.

There was also Authors
and a few other choices
less popular with me.
But Old Maid sticks in mind
as blatantly sexist
and ageist
and, for a country kid
in redneck...

Premium Member Green Peace Resonance
At first we had traumatic stress
just being born
and later shock of near death,
physical and mental,
natural and spiritual,
lack of health 
and unsafe, messy wealth.

Then traumatic cultural stresses
grew up into a global syndrome
of sad neglect
toxic fueling chronic...

Premium Member Allegiance of Mini-Kingdoms
Let me begin by declaring
a well known cliche:
our skin does not define us,
nor does our place of birth
define our worth.

And yet we are scattered
across the globe,
sometimes whole oceans,
separating us.
We see countless borders
that man has made
serving...

The essence of wit is brevity
which interestingly evinces chivalry

and trumps constitutional credo

Flankers Redemption Fails All
Freedom with no responsibility is taken for granted
Legislated out of the society, Flankers left on the margins to pine
Ambition liberated with some, but others were too stunted
Native children in nothing native schooled, a long line
Kicking...

Sexist Selectives
Sexist Selective's

So things take time to sink in,
Especially, from around our World,
Issues to behold, such daily news.

Is not famine or drought,
Nor is it...

Premium Member Though Unseen
"Though Unseen"

Racism oozes inside there, though unseen,

Just vibrating there with incredible fangs for punctures;

Far inside the nucleus of our frenzied souls,

It throbs knowingly there, like a silent spider,

Deep inside the focal core of sentient breathing.

It...

Load Shedding In South Africa
When ignorance and mediocrity is on display,
fancy title and salaries become proof thereby.
The incompetence to deliver is the destruction,
implementation without visions is a foolish attraction.
What makes it very clear, when too many idiots pulling the...

Number increased, doubled,
Authorities legislated laws,

Each leader on his party,
Yet, each one fighting election,
Election is a...

At the turn of the time at nine last night

The doctor masked with eclecticism of electricity
As Mercy laboured last breath for mechanized...

The sun's light slowly rises
to pierce the tempered glass of our window
and splay its soft glowing rays upon your face
to give me a quiet moment of beauty
that's not legislated by clocks nor timeless tides

Hating The Haters?
Written: by Miracle Man
6/5/2020

Protesters brandish signs which decry stop hate,
yet loot and burn until the hour grows late.
As intolerance is tested, many become agitated,
but the hate in man’s heart can’t be legislated.

Beyond our...

Here in the autumn of year 2012
I mourn freedoms lost as do many other of my countrymen

The righteous ones claim justice must be served,
but what exactly do they mean by that;
a conflict in our thoughts that I’ve observed
requires us all to be a diplomat.

While justice from a legal point of view
