This Business of Kidnapping

There has been news about piracy in the high seas...
And here is news about a nefarious activity you don't see...

People go missing in action off the waters of Philippines...
And then the cat and mouse game of high stakes begins...

While some families agonise over their missing loved ones....
Going by the news, the border security patrol force was duly informed...

But this I wonder, looks like the sovereign security patrols fail once again...
With a dusk to dawn curfew in force, was there a lapse in security yet again...

Was it a case of lax security or was it a case of one attempt too many...
Border Patrol boasted it has thwarted double digits of attempts that were so many...

Is this latest affront to sovereign securty a reminder we cannot escape kidnap attempts...
When we have for our neighbours bandits who sees us not as human beings...

Catch some Malaysians, then began a hide and seek game in the jungles of Philippines..
Next is a couple of months of various seek n find missions involving the governments....

And negotiations in earnest then begins , builds up to a critical delicate point ...
For money in a few tens of millions, freedom and lives can be traded to a point... 

Should negotiations fell through or deadlines are missed, death to the victims ...
Often it's slow death by beheading under the guise of fanatical religious belief...

Hoping for religious sympathies to condone a blatant cruel act against humanity..
When in essence it was all a well disguised despicable act of kidnapping...

Treating fellow humans as human cattle to be traded and prices haggled...
While playing God and pretending to be God's warriors when talks are bungled...

Claiming every unfortunate victim's life in the name of the Islam religion...
Thinking in their warped religious fervour they are on the pathway up to Heavens...

These terrorists, they can be no other, terrorise the international community...
With such blatant organised crimes of inhumanity with such impunity...

Maybe vigilante squads in the Philippines is the final solution....
Thousands of drug peddlars and merchants are dead by executions...

Looks like therein lies a possible solution, storm the dense jungles...
Cash rewards for vigilante squads killing terrorists in the jungles....?


Setting Yourself Free

Setting Yourself Free

Searching exhaustively for the truth in everything one is taught by others.
Extensively evaluating all things in order to find which path to take.
Thoroughly questioning anything that one is informed by anyone, instead of being
      part of the host.
Trusting that everyone has their own path of truth that they follow, however these
      paths might not be the right one for the individualist.
Identifying the truths of life by thoroughly researching both sides of every fortune
      told by the raja whom is advised by his rani.
Neither believing nor disbelieving one’s knowledge that he has acquired through
      attending the institution.
Gathering data from fervently researching both pros and cons, while using the
      scientific method for truth finding.
Yearning to analyze several paths of truth in order to find the best-fitting for one’s
      way.
Overwhelming being inquisitive towards everything that is advised from a wino.
Understanding the content of all things that one reads from a book, and learns for
      one’s milieu.
Radically experimenting through all of life’s endeavors with hopes of finding at least
      one that will catch one’s eyes with grandeur. 
Syllogistically gathering information through questioning everyone that one meets.
Enticing oneself while studying every ideology of the world with the passion of a
       zealot in order to obtain one’s own way of life.
Laboriously diving into a diverse array of the fountains of knowledge and sifting
        through them until he finds the one that will help him prevail.
Fanatically familiarizing oneself with the multitude of ideas that the world has to
        offer including science, philosophy, and religious belief.
Frantically fusing one’s learned knowledge with his experiences of experimentation
        in life, to help him find proof.
Ravaging through the pillars of light and truth while thoroughly investigating the
        words of every prophet, scientist, and philosopher.
Expecting to either find a way of life that is sufficient enough to quench one’s thirst
        for knowledge or to simply live life through experience.
Exploring the falsification of any truths that are mere opinions without any
        substantial evidence.

Premium Member To Be Or Not To Be Vaccinated

TO BE OR NOT TO BE VACCINATED  

Two years of pandemic and there is still no end in sight.
Almost a year since vaccines became available and only
sixty percent in the United States are fully vaccinated,
where there is ample supply; but turned down by some. 

Some say, it’s a right, a human right to turn it down; yet
it seems it is more of a political reason or religious belief.
Whatever side you are on, please respect the other side
instead of dissing, criticizing and depending your side. 

I am fully vaccinated because I had seen what this deadly
virus can do, when it hit twenty family members from
mid-December last year to early January this year with
two deaths from the five hospitalized, devastating, scary.

Now, it hit my own family, breaking my heart how this
contagion severely hit my son, seeing him struggle with
shortness of breath, could hardly move even with the
oxygen and me, when I am vaccinated with the booster.

All year round, the vaccination has been politicized helping
to widen the gap between the two parties and the people.
The ones opposing even believing conspiracy and violation
of their right behind the government’s mandates for vaccination.

I am for vaccination; but I do not believe in mandating the
vaccination to health care providers for they know how vicious,
contagious this pandemic is; yet they choose to help the ones
stricken with this virus whether they are vaccinated or not.

I know some healthcare providers who are opposed to
vaccination risking their own lives doing their job, their duties.
The mandate would not let these people work and would
create a shortage in providing care for the victims of this virus.

I also understand why the government is mandating the
vaccination for it is one way to combat this pandemic for
it is a primary concern for the country to function, as well
as its people’s welfare, so let us try to keep an open mind.

Premium Member W-Ode To 50 Wives Bred To Worship the Polygamous Prophet

Strophe

The polygamist had a big house                                        
Where he chose to warehouse hundreds of girls
And women including 29 stepmothers, his father’s spouses
56 of the girls were each other’s sisters.
And 24 were under the age of seventeen.           
Some of the young wives even assisted passions
The pedophile with his sexual assaults 
Telling the girls that if they refused to please his preen
In what he dubbed the “heavenly sessions”
They would be “rejected by God’s favorite cult.

Antistrophe

Wives were both the victims of his abuse
And the accomplices subjected to a cruel
World of worship and sexual abuse
And were so indoctrinated and used cool.
Who cruelly bred them for manipulation.
Calling himself the ‘humble servant’ of God
Asking the girls to please God to atone community’s sins
Oh, the wives of the notorious polygamist’s predation
Into the twisted world of subjugation fold
With which he surrounded himself amidst the teens.

Epode

Had a wisdom tooth for his sexual gratification
Raping the young girls in his big house to make housewives
The State of Texas has a big house for lamentation
Where he will spend the rest of his life’s cloves 
Well, he will have plenty of time to repent.
And think deeply on the meaning of life
Out of the 50 wives none of the parents got relief
Where are the parents of these young girls tormented?
Does that mean all were brainwashed for strife?
So scary that pedophilia can be masked as religious belief.

The ancient scriptures are both boon and bane
on one hand holding out a ray of hope
yet also becoming a thought form chain
letting us not with light of truth elope.
Each breath we take anchors us deeper here,
aliveness depending on senses five,
so then how may light of clear truth appear,
if dying ember we fail to revive?
Religious belief, a culture borne curse,
which no doubt, cajoles us to look inward,
imposes strictures we need to rehearse,
that repressing lust, we be not wayward.
What’s repression but a short term measure ~
Save pure of heart, none can find heart’s treasure

Save pure of heart, none can find heart’s treasure,
purity meaning God’s light in our heart,
whence gently smelling roses at leisure,
we feel deep within, bliss ignition start.
No sooner we rise, ego pulls us down,
seeking our undivided attention,
dragging us in swamps of wealth and renown,
where love never ever gets a mention.
At the crossroads by employing free will,
we alone must choose the vibe of our muse,
so animating silence, if we’re still,
we can overpower ego spawned ruse.
Discarding lower mind, prone to research ~
Let us here now prioritise God search

Let us here now prioritise God search,
which simply means, if pure be our intent,
the bird of bliss on our heart’s tree will perch,
upon our granting God’s love our consent.
Nothing need be done save coming undone,
Stripping dark desires and fears from our core,
whence recognising God and soul are one,
bliss beats rise and we beg for an encore.
Let us choose to give our soul some relief,
getting to basics, melding head with heart,
whence this discarding conditioned belief,
we behold demons of darkness depart.
Peacocks dance in sunshine entwined with rain ~
The ancient scriptures are both boon and bane

Premium Member She Did Not Want To Hurt His Feelings

You're a beauty, his grandmother said. You would make a terrific catch.
Sheila did not know if she wanted to be caught.
She had been doing pretty well for thirty-two years by herself.
She had a terrific family, a great job, and she owned her own home.
He was handsome and kind, but boring.
She thought it would work out though.

Are you settling? Her girlfriend asked.
She sort of was, but he was a nice guy.
She did not want to hurt his feelings,
and her parents wanted her married.
They were of the religious belief that everyone should be for some reason..

She dated him for several months; each date a little more boring than the last. But he was incredibly nice and got his feelings hurt if she said no to the next date.  He pouted too, he was great at pouting.

She ended up not hurting his feelings date after date after boring date.
Her parents were thrilled when she said “yes” at Christmas.
He had asked her in front of them, so saying “no” would be more difficult.
She resolved to go into this resigned to a life of “whatever”.
He was thrilled, laughing and kissing everyone in the room.

Her family liked him better than they had ever liked her.
He hung out with her brothers, they had all the same hobbies.
Her sisters began including her in discussions, she was “normal” now.
She thought she could get used to him, and her family adored him.
She was walking down the aisle with her beaming father when she knew….
She had been wrong. She ran off screaming, leaping toward freedom.
Her family adopted him and disowned her. Best day ever!

Modern Cults, Part IV

You see the ones who thing gender
is something plastic you can change,
people who back in better lines
were locked-up for being insane,
people who think a basic fact
older than the species itself
can just be changed if you ‘feel so,’
you think we would get them some help.
Instead thy have become a cult,
their words like religious belief,
rather than teach these people fact
they put them on hormones quickly.
Put them on drugs that ruin health,
weaken skeletons, increase cancer,
put them on drugs that sterilize
to indulge mental disorder.
Cut off their parts, they don’t grow back,
doom them to a life in-between,
permanent change for unstable minds,
doing such a thing just sounds mean.
Explain that cold reality
does not give a damn for their thoughts,
they claim you are ‘denying them,’
their whole life is recognition sought,
and if you choose to refuse that,
to not be a part of the lie,
they try to sick the state on you,
to hell with your rights, just comply!
Explain that their suicide rates
do not decline after the snip,
they make up words like ‘transphobic,’
but that will not save them from it.
And worse, they aim this stuff at kids,
people much too young to consent,
to the point that tell the schools
to {hide" this all from the parents.
They are cutting up our children
for a chance that cannot exist,
the modern human sacrifice,
an evil that somehow persists.
A belief system so absurd,
nnd brings out tragic results,
blood magic has not gone away,
it just calls itself the trans cult.

Independence Day-15 August

 Impressions of a teenager

I was born today twenty years ago
A healthy child with eyes of a doe
I grew up in a free world
Saw the national flag unfurled

Sang national anthem with devotion
A hand on my heart and no motion
It stirred my pride on secular belief
Sacrifices of martyrs elicited grief

I studied in cosmopolitan schools
Learnt honesty and obeying the rules
Ne’er differentiated between rich and poor
Or had any delusion to a life of grandeur

The TV news showed a bitter killing
The video clips were very chilling
A result of animosity between two men
One of whom lost in a gambling den

Days later two groups fought a bitter battle
The bone of contention was lifting of cattle
One group accused the other of eating beef
They said it was against their religious belief

 Another day a young couple was burnt alive
The relatives and parents decided to connive
The girl loved, married the boy of lower caste
Retribution by the elders was prompt and fast

It’s awfully risky for girls to travel alone
Even if she has her mobile phone 
She can be waylaid by men at a lonely place
Forced to satisfy their lust and face disgrace

“What has independence given us?” I ask
A discordant society oblivious of its task!
The sacrifices of martyrs appear to be in vain
All principles and ethics are down the drain  

Greed of wealth and power is the motto
Governance is like a game of lotto
Honesty has ceased to be a virtue
Questioning the corrupt is breaking the curfew
