When An Innocent Baby Appears...

Anytime we ponder over life 
to extract its meaning
from unexplanaible causes,
hopelessness smears our sad faces
with an implacable grief;
but suddenly an innocent baby appears...
born inside his mother's womb, 
changing our prospective
and supplement us with that 
new rejuvenated spirit
to shroud us in hope,
and reveal us secrets of obscurity!

An innocent baby can
make our miseries a bygone past...
thrilling, inspiring and motivating us
to give him or her our uttermost attention
and profound,human care;
our spirit may be still obligated to grieve,
but our heart can find that freedom
from the toll of worries and desperation!

A light shines when darkness is dispersed and null...
our thoughts are controlled by negatives forces,
if we let them grimly scurry inside 
and transform ourselves into sulky winers:
as sullen and inclement as weather itself...
as senescent as aged persons who grumble;
but out of nowhere we see
that  whirwind transformation,
making us better givers...
when an innocent baby appears
amidst  the stormy clouds
to summon up our courage!


Love Story


I was comfortable with our Verbal discourse, at first Reluctantly
Sapiosexual Being, Intellect your speech, I yearned for more
The version of you I placed in my mind, Foolishly
To accommodate my infatuation 
I ultimately refused to see, Blindly 
I walked to the edge of the cliff with blurred vision
Already emotionally strained, now wounded, Bitterly
And don't know how to feel or how to end the pain
that I inflicted, on myself, Inconsistently
I was wrong, but I will heal
Obligated to Self to be Strong, Mentally
Self Inflicted Torment
Wondering how to escape my Mind, Consciously
Blaming my Sensitivity 
Prosecuting My emotions, Emotionally
Being Loved is minimal
I valued the version I created of you, Inaccurately
But now I see, Clearly!
Your Love lacked Support, I was not your Priority
Lesson Learnt! Bridges Burnt!
That Version of Me that Needed the Self Created Version of You
Has Evolved, Balanced on a Scale with a Feather, Peace Profound, Thankfully!

Premium Member THE FIRST WIRELESS CONNECTION

In a world where ever-changing technology quickly connects us with one another as a rule
a reminder, today, how our greatest connection remains simple and old-school:

It happened to him slowly…imperceptibly…the way it often does occur….
which, coincidentally, is the same way it also happened to her.

One day, completely on their own, without being obligated or coerced…
when it came to everything in their life…they thought of each other first.

Through some magical twist of fate that they both found quiet appealing…
they began to feel in their heart and soul what the other one was feeling.

When joy filled up one heart…the other one’s heart began to swell…
as if the joy that filled the one heart…poured into the other heart as well.

When sadness tore at one heart…much to their surprise…
both hearts felt the pain…and tears fell from two sets of eyes.

They asked their friends what was happening in their hearts and in their heads…
their friends smiled and congratulated them…”Why, your in love!” They said.

Yes, they were experiencing something very old…but at the same time very new…
a feeling many people in the past have felt…and many in the future will feel too…

How defying technological advances…and even under the most scrupulous inspection
Love….always was…and always will be…a wireless connection

Earth, Sea and Sky - Nature's Trinity

Whether you believe in evolution
Or perhaps you believe in creation
All living things that dwell on Mother Earth
Are obligated to her for their birth

And what about the magnificent Sea
Where all the life forms there exist freely
Through the clouds, Sea supplies Earth with water
Which living things need to grow and prosper

Sky houses the clouds which provide the rain
That falls on the Earth again and again
The setting sun lights the sky brilliantly
Creating a scene of wondrous beauty

Earth, Sea and Sky exist in harmony
Comprising a glorious Trinity

Donald Trump Equals Pathological Psychopath

Donald trump = pathological psychopath

Fred Trump taught his sole son Donald 
how to steal the leading way into more ass, 
though no hint given, nor prediction forecast 
in his growing up years, that would foretell, 
thru base anaphylactic cronyism, egotistical 
gall insidious kleptomania call, malodorous 

Machiavellian offal obnoxious quintessential 
skullduggery, unfair wicked yik yak zeal 
to wield selfishness, a mean mogul with brass, 
who would unstintingly live up to his surname, 
and trump every law in the books of jurisprudence 
and crass bend avast set of constitutional laws 
to feed his ferocious fealty to the all mighty dollar 

flaunting, fleecing, and flipping  the welfare 
of those (he deemed must serve him 
his insatiable hunger) to connive, dictate,
and expedite his hell bent assiduity, 
an empire fit for a King, who felt no aversion 
to mollycoddle, peddle, and wheedle 

any zealous contractual obligation 
(immediately abrogated), and concoct fabrications 
vis a vis, a visa versa MasterCard his 
American Express shun re: the art of the raw 
FitBit (if necessary browbeating, depriving, 
forfeiting meting out legally obligated pay 

whenever an inconvenient truth awoke 
in his noggin reneging fiduciary promises 
to the risk-taking, moon shining, toiling citizens 
ala Indian giving per many an unfair deal 
exuding crass with especial treatment 
to withhold wages for his (held in check) 

Polish laborers, who built his city on rock and rolling
stock – so a Starship emblazoned with 
outsize ego of an exploiter with no pay 
to his backbreaking Polish construction 
motley crue nor even mucho grassy us 
for erecting his empire now ranked in 
billions of dollars unfairly pointing a finger 

to berate, dictate and finagle foreigners 
(illegal immigrants, he would now boot 
out of this country) to carry out drudgery
with hungry stomachs growling at slave wages, 
lamentably plodding since any other employer 
might question their vlsa status, hence anger 
boils within this generic human enraged 

his wealth squeezed from every last drop 
of said craftsman, now if still alive old and 
broken men crushed by the mighty 
self proclaimed dictator of the proletariat, 
whose hollow being blind sides those 
he stares down, yet beware all that glitters ain't gold!


Premium Member Love In the Jungle

Cerulean sky in the quiet jungle was shook up by the unexpected tremor of a white and red bimotor plane. Larry, a tall, olive skin, green eyes, was the handsome pilot of the plane called Lara. Mechanical problems obligated Larry to an emergency landing.
In the crystalline river was a lady called Lara. She was camping for two days in the inhospitable surroundings. A heart break made her to take a time out from her hectic work schedule as general surgeon. Footsteps were heard in the dry leaves. Lara looked behind her, to see the impressing presence of Larry.  She thought she was going to faint.

Larry felt a skip in her heart when he saw Lara. She was very identical to his deceased beloved. Without uttering a word, they felt love at first sight. Larry asked to Lara her name. They introduced themselves. Lara was packing to return to her home. Larry told Lara about the plane incident. She offered Larry to take him to his home. By coincidences of life, they live in the same urbanization. Before stepping out of the car, Larry gave to Lara a business card with his phone number. He was the CEO of an important tobacco exporting company. One week later, Lara took her cell phone and called Larry. 

He invited her to a dinner to an elegant restaurant of the city. While they were dining, Larry told to Lara that he wants to know more about her. After concluding the dinner, they agreed to continue communicating by phone, letting that time decide their romantic future. Two years passed, when Larry invited Lara to dinner waiting a surprise to Lara. An engagement ring was inside of the rose bouquet. Larry asked Lara if she would marry him. Lara accepted the proposal. Wedding planification started. Fue most expected day for Larry and Lara arrived. 

Larry was wearing a black tuxedo. The ivory bridal gown of Lara was stunning. Cala flowers and pink roses were part of the church decoration. Lara walked the aisle when Larry was waiting for her. After the religious ceremony, they were declared husband and wife. They left the church in a white limousine to the reception in a five star hotel. Blissful days were part of their married life until death separate them, ending a romance that began in a jungle.

The End

An Atheists Open Letter To God, Not My Personal Beliefs

Atheists open letter to God

Dear God

I don't know how to begin...let's see
how are you today? (no he doesn't exist...oh yeah)

I am writing you today...to clarify a few things!

First of all, the fact that I am writing you this letter,
does not in any way shape or form indicate, confirm,
affirm, or testify, or give testimony, or bear witness
to a belief or conviction that you exist, in any form whatsoever!!!

Speaking about your existence...I have denied your existence
and I wanted to know why you have not accepted my denial!
Don't you understand that my denial of you, (now as a consequence 
of aforementioned denial) you are hereby obligated to not exist.

My detailed analysis of facts as I understand them lead me to conclude that there is no Creator, no Intelligent Designer, and also I concur, believe, am convinced, have the conviction, that we(humans) are the product of evolution and random selection, after the big bang event.

So in conclusion, I would like to ratify my belief that you do not exist, I concur, and agree, and am bound by this letter witnessed by me, stating categorically,  unequivocally, that you do not exist.

Please refrain from indicating, manifesting, proving, supporting, in any way that you exist. Please respect my declaration of your non- existence and comply forthwith.

Not yours, not so sincerely,

An unbeliever

P.S   If by any chance I am wrong...please disregard the aforementioned letter
with my most sincere and humble apologies.

Premium Member Dimmed Room

I play the burlgar of the gates 
Of the constant paradigm
Which states that never is too late
To clarify the hidden scheme
What makes the power powerful
What makes submission obligated
Could be an energy of fool, 
Collective fool that is dictated
To do the right, as it was taught 
But what seemed proper, fades with time
Appears another face of God
Unjustice gets a justify
The devil’s advocates have won
Concealed arrangement, sealed and signed
Was a conclusion, long foregone 
And what seemed fair, turns out a lie 
But as I crack the secret code
And enter in, I see the same
Dimmed room, as if it was foretold
To be repeated in the game.

Something in her

As I watch my expressional means  apprehended, when my attention getting off, hastily from myself, through a ladder of mesmerization, to a near distance where you stood, illuminated by your extraordinary human frame. Safety measures being of no care. 

Startled in my own intrigue, shaking my head with disbelief, they don't make it like you anymore. So calm and collected, fear for your fragility in my care. I look around, nothing in my capacity capable enough to care for your caliber, fear I would burn myself constantly while trying to honour you with my hospitality, 

so innocent and pure in your undisturbed presence, I at danger when I have to safeguard every word before leaving my mouth to you, so to not bruise nor trample your untrampled innocence. Pray a distinct prayer, pleading to my creator for your user manual. 

A request and wish to be a better person, better for you, at least enough to embrace you comfortable as it can ever be, a better half, your better half. 

Obligated by your God time taken features, to revisit my roots, so to learn ways of my grandfather's, manner of handling and treating woman, learn to love better, respect better and be a man of hounor, maybe a better father and husband, your life companion, all this measures for you, maRadebe

My Story?

Everybody has a story
What about mine
Everyone has their own tales to tell
I am still waiting for my turn to shine 

Motivated one day
Wanting to die the next 
Hoping for the miracle
Unwilling to take the step

Just not it
That's the way to describe me
Just one step late
Self trapped in a prison , afraid of being free 

Lost in the loopholes
Searching for an end
Yet running from the outcome
Which I can't comprehend 

What can I do now
Life's going away
Faster than I want it to
I am aware of the pace
I am obligated to surrender to 

Maybe this was my destiny
My life was meant to be a cautionary tale
Just so others were free to sail
