Water Source

There's a water shortage in countries,
especially where there's strife,
and air conditioning is needed,
to lead a pleasant life.
We also have bone-dry Bermuda
where, except for 5" monthly rainfall,
collected in cisterns or brought by tanker ship,
there's no water to be had at all.
Attempting to inform the people in power,
an endeavour which failed of course,
what every island AC emits,
and it's their free drinking source.
As AC units create water naturally,
on average 5 to 20 gallons
of condensate per day,
producing H2O from humidity,
it's a crime to let it waste away.
It may be but a drop in the bucket,
and yet, place a clean container,
when the unit is switched on,
to collect the drips
of distilled water, safe to imbibe,
below the condensation drain,
and you may have a million sips
again and again and again.

Big Lil - 1968

It was a year of revolutions
Worldwide, quiet little fights
Wanting more from democracy?
Fighting for Civil Rights.?
From Hull three trawlers sank
February, fifty eight lives lost,
Adding to that 10 thousand
Deep sea fishing would finally cost.

They called them Headscarf Heroes
Big Lil lead the housewives, the few
Who stood and fought for 
More safety for the crews.
They marched on Downing Street
In defence of their men
Met with PremierHarold Wilson
Up there at Number 10;

United the fishing community
All over the land,
Brought the fight to the public,
Made an historic stand
To fight for basic safety
To fight for better ways
For the men who fished each year
On average over three hundred days.

She was vilified and attacked
Received letters threatening death
But BIg Lil and her companions
Fought with their every breath.
They won many concessions
At their personal cost
The efforts of these ladies
Saved many lives from being lost.

The fishing fleet is finished.
Old Hessle Road is gone.
In time and at a price
This City has moved on.
Such an historic figure
I find it such an awful shame
So very few know or remember 
Big Lil and the others names

Lillian Bilocca 1929 - 1988 and the Headscarf Revolutionaries, Christine Jensen, Mary Denness, and Yvonne Blenkinsop,

Rigorous Sphincter Ani Externus Muscle Workout

Rigorous sphincter ani externus muscle workout

Amidst the rubble strewn landscape ruins
courtesy healthy helping of prunes
linkedin to derrière issuing
melodious flatulence classical tunes,
yours truly renown buttuck blaster,
possesses wide ranging repertoire
ofttimes employed
as poignant powerful score
within battlefield documentaries
trademark trumpeting tush
indistinguishable from authentic
soundcloud moaning mortal wounds.

Far and wide taketh me
courtesy self propulsion vis a vis whoosh,
where roaring madding crowds
come together at behest of agent provocateur
transmits electronic signals
instantaneously triggering flash mob
rearing to experience mine
unusual claim gifted with musical tush
Sphincter ani externus 

(External sphincter ani) 
a wasteland Tom Sawyer doth rush
away from finishing his hucksterism
to escape (wool ewe believe) sheep push
lambasting of rambunctious herd
echoing within Hindu Kush,
an 800-kilometre-long mountain range 
in Central and South Asia 
to the west of the Himalayas.

Please pardon cheekiness (mine), but
proctologists (Colorectal surgeons”
the more up-to-date term for same)
quite earnestly astounded, befuddled,
enlightened, flummoxed, intrigued, et cetera
abbreviated etc, a Latin term
which is used in the places
where we want to say
"and other things" or "and so on"
ahem so over the moon
whenever I let (powder milk) biscuits fly i.e.
id est which means “in other words.”

Scientists scrutinizing plumes
of rarified gaseous spewed out me bum
discovered thermal columns of hot air
forced thru flat **** plane of muscular fibers,
elliptical in shape
and intimately adherent to the integument
surrounding the margin of the anus
on average measuring
about eight to ten centimeters
can rise as high as a mile,
which rising air strong enough
to lift all kinds of things
like dust, water vapor,
and broad-winged hawks.

Thermals frequently form
when I scale mountainous peaks
and expel prodigious invisible flatulence
hashtagged as silent but deadly
because the sun
heats mountainsides unevenly!

Thanks to you know who
one can often see cumulus clouds above thermals.

Premium Member ONE LAST TIME

On any give day…for countless reasons why…
on average…160,000 people across the world will die.

If you knew you were one of those 160,000 people today…
If you knew by tomorrow you’d be dead…
I wonder…what’s the first thought that pops into your head?

Is there a person you just thought of…out of all the people you know?
A person whose voice you want to hear one last time before you go?

Is there someone from your past who you’d like one last time to see?
Would you want to say I love you and hug one last time…your friends and family?

Would you want to watch the sunrise one last time 
or one last time…count the stars up in the sky?
Is there a place you want go to one last time before you say goodbye?

Since you don’t know if today will be just another day you have amassed…
or if you’ll be one of those 160,000 people…and today will be your last.

Doesn’t that make each moment of each day important
before you leave this world behind…
to do the things a moment ago…that popped into your mind?

Premium Member Canada Eh

Ocean Falls, B.C. has on average
Over 300 days of rain a year
Surely not somewhere I'd want to live
Many attempt suicide I hear

Canadians have a funny habit of
Ending each sentence with an “eh”
Couldn't be a bank robber in the U.S.A.
The “eh” would be a dead giveaway

Average number of folks in our households
Is roughly 2.6, give or take
Would sure like to meet that .6 person
An interesting image that'd make

Millions attend our Calgary Stampede
But we're really not a bunch of yahoos
We're a very computer literate country
Emails we send quite a slew

A unique Canadian one dollar coin
Was introduced back in 1987
It's affectionally known as a loonie
But it doesn't describe us, thank heaven

Even dog food here is tax-deductible
Expecting big lineups at immigration
Reason to migrate to this wonderful land
We welcome folks from ever nation

Magnanimous Man My Papa Ha

Magnanimous Man My Papa – Ha!

Flagrant red hot poker rage
lacerated upon the head of this sole
male offspring, sans he who did
help to sire me, his vitriolic baggage
inflicted like graped shot,

and deployed barrage
also akin to inflicting searing,
menacing, and branding iron wrath
left indelible psychological blockage
insufferable emotional constipation,

wrought wretched state of human bondage
resultant outcome witnessed breakage
of spirit, when hateful scathing verbal damage
invoked, exploded, and bombed mine psyche,
especially during mein late

adolescent, and into latter adult stage,
particularly cuz this anxiety riddled Harris
exhibited no ambition to earn a living wage,
nor maximize on any inherent strengths
thus this then much younger body electric

oscillated with zero voltaic amperage,
which family of origin assemblage
dynamic ratched tension nsync
on par with hotly contesting arbitrage
additionally compounded by

indifference toward parents, a disadvantage
living under their same roof,
mama's and papa's patience
wore thin, second progeny they did disparage
punctuated with ultimatums toward me,

which did nothing to assuage
intolerable passive resistance stance,
thus expletive laced
"midnight lectures" dosage
occurred a bajillion

times per week on average
annihilating my self esteem,
wherein this native son felt
less worthy than bacteriophage
analogous to useless atrophied appendage

yours truly emotional detachment
heck, I may as well have been
ice sill hated in Anchorage,
cuz me negligible care and/or concern
amplified palpable uneasiness, a drainage
in tandem with estrangement fueled umbrage.

Premium Member Five Point Eight On the Richter Scale

They say there's a first time for everything
My first time ever feeling the unsettling effects of an earthquake
Albeit, it was ONLY 5.8 on the Richter Scale
It happened during our holiday in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic
We were roughly 60 km from the epicentre
But still found it a little unsettling to say the least
The locals didn't even break a sweat
They experience on average 150 of them a year
However there was definitely some rocking 'n rolling going on
At first I thought it was one of those people movers going by
Transporting folks around the resort
Then realized... YIKES!
That was a FREAKING EARTHQUAKE!!!
All's well that ends well
And I'm still alive to tell my tale!
Great place to vacation but you wouldn't wanna live there!

And

God is always the greatest- Sylvia Frances Chan wrote

And me-

God is the greatest
who said- Human or God!

if I say God is great
Yes, because of my belief
If any human, the believer says
Yes, because of belief

If any animal says!
Oh! animal can't speak like a human!
Oh no! animal maybe does like humans

But, neither human nor animal
God said- God is Almighty!

Yes, I believe the speech of God, the Holy Books
That's why God is the greatest!

And

Your truth dwells in a thankful heart- Sylvia Frances Chan wrote

And me-

O God
I know not what is "The Truth"

But, according to my realistic perception
I feel this truth in different ways,
Person to person, place to place, time to time
The truth seizes all differently

This Truth is Your mercy, O God
on every creation

O God
You live everywhere
but everyone cannot feel You
On average

O God
though Your presence, Your mercy
to everyone yet
everyone cannot realize it perfectly

O God
You are the greatest You said and I believe always
For Your greatness, generous blessings
Still, the dwellers of the earth live in peace

O God
I am thankful, grateful to You
I am surrendered
I believe- You live in every surrendered Soul

And when

In your love, I lost my existence
Without strenuous identity, I asked myself who I am - I wrote

Then-

I am the mirror
you look at daily - Me Poet Yeps Poet wrote

And me-

Maybe or
may not be

I- the mirror
where not I exist
the reflected one and that's you

yes, I am
you, or he
or all
or the self,
thru the all
or thru the me
I am all

Varieties form of ONE!

So I am everywhere within me
or within everyone and everything

I am
yes
the me
form of human
the physical structure I have
like a brilliant -sapiens

truly I live in
wondrous thought
contained by unshaped mind

craziness, captivation
time to time
there it cultivates various thought
shape to un-shape
imaginative, fascination

but I forget
I am not the body
the physical shape
which is made by the true me,
made by my thought,
made by my imaginative power!

In this imaginative power, I lost myself
Neither I am nor any natural being
And this imagination molds a belief
By which I said- I am you, he or she
And this form contains our creator as God

Introspection-08

if there is no God
there is no afterlife

if there is God
there is no afterlife for everyone on average!

because
afterlife only for exclusive souls
where God shall disclose own shape

average souls are not qualified for the afterlife
average souls shall suffer the pain of birth and death circle
and will recycle in it till becoming qualified for the afterlife

philanthropic mind
always pious
there no need to be believer or nonbeliever

welfare doing is the best religion
and such doer is favor of God

theism or atheism
not base foundation of pious!

good doer, only the virtuous
either being theist or atheist
always near to God!

Premium Member Arian Ladies

Aries (?) /'??ri?z/ (meaning "ram") is the first astrological sign in the Zodiac, spanning the first 30 degrees of celestial longitude (0°= ? 0º), which area the Sun transits, on average, between March 21 to April 21 each year.

According to the Tropical system of astrology, the Sun enters the sign of Aries when it reaches the northern vernal equinox, which occurs around March 21. Due to the fact that the Earth takes approximately 365.25 days to go around the Sun, the precise time of the equinox is not the same each year, and generally will occur about 6 hours later each year, with a jump of a day (backwards) on leap years. Since 1900 the vernal equinox date ranged from March 20 at 08h (2000) to March 21 at 19h (1903) (all times UTC).


Arian Ladies 

We are the first Zodiac sign
Leading with the birth of Spring
Mars blazes out our path
fiery and passionate are we
aggressive to our foes
Leaders inciting others
Hunters loving the chase
losing interest in success
magnetic, forceful and loyal
Lusting for life and adventure
Forceful women tolerating no master
only an equal partner
Activists we plunge straight in
yet, our interest is hard to keep
Most forward of the Zodiac signs
not easy to capture, nor easy to live with
