Remember
In September
Or October
To register
To vote
In November
Write a reminder sticky note
To do so, like your life

En la vida
y
En los negocios
Nada en este mundo
puede tomar el lugar
de la persistencia y de la determinación.

El Talento sólo

La genialidad recompensa

el mundo está lleno
de personas geniales;

I worry for the child every night,
And every night brings forth another fright.
I worry for the child in every way everyday,
“Do not stumble, don't get hurt”, always I would pray.

Existence or essence or merely the process of life-long learning?

When alive and livingsocial
within webbed wide world
analogous to an emotional hell
I never experienced pomp and circumstances,
and quavers with inconsolable tears

Created by dark magicians 
That hide in the shadows,
Controlling us in the light
Sectioning and ravaging us at night,
Dreams, the portal formed by the mind
The unconscious side, 
Waking up in this fantasy...
