Premium Member Changing Life Doesn't Die

As earth 
turns to sun
to sweep away 
night gown 
with broom 
of light
unveiling colors
awaking sounds 
drinking light 
to nurture body
clocked to die
with seasonal fruits
embodying seeds
perpetuating life 
so too 
the eternal seed
in body of clay
awakened by God
from darkness 
of doubt
to truth of Light
converting
from diversion
that needs refill
which death 
cannot kill 
or its hunger fill
turning to God
immortal spring
opens day 
with colors of graces
beautifying it
with gems of kindness
and sparkles of tears
turned to joy
nourishing self 
and hungry other
with ever present 
fruits of love
leaving night
of cocoon habits
to fly on wings 
of rainbow lights
love perfecting
everchanging
never ending
Paradise

About a successful renowned
footballer

Who's home life was thus

Father beat him on every occasion

His mother told him she wished
he was never born

So he played out at school
by means of ill discipline

Yet went on to become and
make a success of himself

And yet i bet he would give
up every inch of his success

Every goal scored , medal won
and International appearance

For his mother to tell him
she loved him

Or his father not to raise his
hand to him 

And to show him any form of
affection at all

Because success to him 

Is not was it is to us

And should have been to him

And why i just seen him

Crying in his old school teachers
arm's

Who he cherishes so much

Terrible thing

WHEN IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT

BUT YOU END UP PERPETUATING IT 

BECAUSE IT'S ALL YOU KNOW

Abolishing the Death Penalty: A Case for Humanity

The death penalty, a practice rooted in antiquity, continues to evoke controversy and ethical dilemmas in modern society. Despite its purported role in deterring crime and administering justice, the death penalty stands on shaky moral ground and should be abolished for several compelling reasons.

Firstly, the irreversible nature of the death penalty is inherently flawed. In a justice system prone to human error, the risk of executing an innocent person is ever-present. Numerous cases worldwide have revealed wrongful convictions, highlighting the fallibility of judicial proceedings. Once a life is taken, there is no recourse for rectifying such a grievous mistake, perpetuating an irreversible injustice that stains the fabric of society.

Moreover, the death penalty undermines the fundamental value of human life. By sanctioning state-sanctioned killings, societies diminish the sanctity of life and condone violence as a means of resolving conflicts. Such a stance contradicts the principles of compassion, rehabilitation, and forgiveness, which should underpin any civilized society's legal framework.

Furthermore, the death penalty fails to achieve its purported goal of deterrence. Empirical evidence suggests that the threat of capital punishment does not significantly deter individuals from committing heinous crimes. Instead, socioeconomic factors, mental health issues, and systemic inequalities often drive criminal behavior. Investing in preventative measures, such as education, poverty alleviation, and mental health services, would yield more effective and humane solutions to reducing crime rates.

Critics argue that the death penalty provides closure to victims' families and serves as a form of retribution. However, vengeance should not be conflated with justice. Studies have shown that the prolonged legal processes and endless appeals associated with death penalty cases exacerbate the victims' families' trauma, prolonging their suffering rather than offering closure.

In conclusion, the abolition of the death penalty aligns with the principles of justice, compassion, and human rights. By rejecting this antiquated and morally dubious practice, societies can move towards a more enlightened and humane approach to criminal justice—one that prioritizes rehabilitation, reconciliation, and the inherent worth of every individual.

Premium Member A Wise Alien Once Said

A wise alien once said: 

'The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few'

Is that a statement you think is true?

Is that a statement you'd stand behind?

Or would it be caveatted by your race or kind?

The nature of life is here to see.

Bodies strewn over the field of blood, red on green. Yeah...that's really good??

Murdered people, murdered animals, murdered nature - yes, understood. 

Humans seem to be really good.

Good at killing each-other, for nothing, for everything, for differences, for religions and beliefs or simply being misunderstood.

Humans are good at taking all they see. We want it all, we want it free.

Ask permission? Seriously? Well, not really.

Humankind will not only destroy itself.

So intelligent but so wild it creates its own self perpetuating circle of hell.

Humankind is a life force that destroys all it sees.

For its own survival? For its own greed? But, what remember; we must be top of the tree?

The signs are there for nature to see. Let's hope and pray it doesn't look too closely!

Let's hope it doesn't see that for our survival all other earth life will never live free.

A question that nature may have taken deeply to heart.

Why should humans live for the sake of all other life to depart?

Premium Member A Conservative View

A Conservative View
Written: by Tom Wright
1/23/2014

Congress leaves me worn and at times acerbic,
Their unfettered activity runs wild and free.
It seems to the truth most have become allergic,
Finding no common ground in which they agree.

They believe it’s irresponsible if laws aren’t passing,
And taxing the working, the name of the game;
Each yearly budget will be last year’s surpassing,
While finger pointing and placing unjust blame;

They invest in securities like an inside trader,
Uncovering knowledge of preferred stock shares;
Their lifestyle resembles some corporate raider,
Finding each year more became millionaires.

Their primary concern slants to the status quo,
Helping the slothful thus perpetuating dependency;
The slothful has an addiction to untaxed dough,
When this state occurs ruination is the tendency.

SEEING FROM THE OTHER SIDE

SEEING FROM THE OTHER SIDE

For years, one has entertained the notion
That nations and cultures can always mix
There are customs and appearances, true
Some might close their eyes, as many do
Also their ears, as language can play tricks
Races no longer separated by any ocean

Yet integration recalibrates one’s identity
More for others to feel safe and sound
Yet difference is surely to be celebrated
Whether or not all verbs are conjugated
But gentle friction is healthy when around
Seeing people as they are and want to be

Step by step, perhaps talk over the fence
But all be aware, there’s no time to sleep
The pace at which such acceptance grows
It takes many decades, as one who knows
National cultural norms are buried deep
There is no gain in perpetuating ignorance

Learning and adjustment aren’t just words
It needs the occasional slap in the face
To recognise what passes for normality 
But on further thought, is quite arbitrary
Turning away disinterested, is a disgrace
Embrace the new, mix whey with curds

Premium Member Trump's Civil Rights Counsel

If your legal counsel on civil rights
is Jeff Sessions,
then you most certainly learned legal precedent
for validity of crossing your fingers
or your toes
or even just imagine doing so
while denouncing economic and political racism
as evil
and likewise evil,
perpetuating enslavement to fear
and anger
and hate-mongering
among Just Us Good Ol' Boys,
Locker Room Talkers and Marchers
favoring White elitism,

Well then Jesus,
and Trinitarian SuperDivine MightMakesCapitalismRight Patriarchy Incorporated,
will legally and morally absolve you through immaculate partnership,
naturally and spiritually forgive you,

And you shall remain among the select redeemed
despite your Only White Lives Have Ruled The NestBest
alternative rhetorical fact marketing
required, for now,
with fingers crossed
behind your Counselor's two-faced lie.

You can no more stand pre-millennial idly by
while a Civil Rights Movement
was, and still is, marching through your capital-investments,
without making a part of the post-millennial problem statement,
any more than you can stand innocently by
while White supremacists
are marching through your massive media exposure
without already having mentored
a source of the racist self-denial of anti-patriotic supremacy, 
our extant great trans-millennial ecopolitical problem.

Premium Member Listening For God

Among the Potawatomi
they speak of Yawe,
dynamic being,
integrity,
perpetuating interdependence
within this whole Earth system.

Among the Israelites
they only reverently spoke of YHWH,
again integrity
continuous historic interdependent perpetuation
within and between languaged fissures
of empty non-being.

Among the Taoists
again dynamic integrity
dipolar co-arising Yang embedded strong relationships,
exegetically stored and restored
between empty Yin fissures of non-becoming,
notnot yet imagined
exformational absence
aptic
potentially synaptic.

Among Buddhists
dynamic zen integrity
dipolar co-arising
Interdependent Earth
within and between Universal Empty Zero
basic non-being spaces
notnot imaged 
yet diastatic places potentiating.

Among still communicating Christians,
they listen for YHWH's 
richly dense and resonant love
again integrity
perpetuating cooperative inductive-dominant interdependence
within this whole Earth climate
of mutual subsidiary systems
between universal language networks
for centering polypathic journeys
from and of and toward and away from seasons zen zero,
absence of integrity's regenerate Promise,
notnot yet imaged polypaths
of Yawe.

Wise Postulations of Existance For the Damned

Wise Postulations of Existance for The Damned

Solitude the pathway for self authentication
Interludes of what to say in the process of individuation
Attitudes of slow decay born from ill-considerations
Platitudes in early May about spring time commiserations

Various forms of entropy existing in the atmosphere
Precarious storms of ignomy resisting the biosphere
Nefarious swarms of privacy persisting through the tears
Hillarious warns the indignity insisting on perpetuating fears

Beached whales lined up on a distant shore
Reached sales upon the warehouse floor 
Teach the fails to hit the target and never ask for more 
Leaches, sails, newts and artists that ask what it’s all really for ?

Conversations of resistance behind a beer soaked bar
Invocations of insistence as the joke has gone too far 
Intonations of coincidence upon the backseat of his car 
Renovations of pure self-defense as we defend all that we are 

Monumental distortions of reality and truth 
Consequential misfortunes and an entirely misspent youth 
Environmental disproportions stretched beyond scientific proof 
Coincidental extortions of the law by the criminally uncouth 

Complimentary postulations about what it means to be a wife
Reudimentary indignations about how not to live your life 
Sedimentary geographic formations as the earth increases in strife 
Elementary imitations of a rare collection knife 

Swearing on a stack of Bibles that you’re not telling a lie 
Waiting for a revival as the earth begins to die 
Stating a perfect recital as what’s worse for both your eyes
Integrating what is vital before you evolve into becoming wise
