This is what was said when I asked him to explain to me why he refused to date. He said this instead of telling what a modern relationship really is."Dibs" is often used as a lighthearted, social mechanism to avoid competition between friends,
she used her ability to attract men
as an equivalent to her friends
unattractiveness.
her friend on the other hand
having fewer romantic distractions
allowed her to be more effective when it came
to business.
while her friend could find it easiest to
be more of herself at the same time
accomplishing things to attract and be
is most natural to her.
Are they really friends when someone
her the attractive lady say
don't listen to her as she views herself
from a disposition of unworthiness
cause feelings of envy or insecurity
is seen and is a divisive strategy
where it appears that one person
is picked over the other.
when the phrase " kurwa" was
spoken the attractive lady became insulted
while the unattractive woman to had been
referred to as "kurwa' making the gentlemen seem
like a.misogynistic **** shamer.
Truth is due to the way a relationship can turn into
it is often best not to commit on a work in progressing
type relationship.
In order to remove one's self from a situation
might mean finding someone to replace the one who
needs replacing.

Above are these competing views
Of social construct ends
And choice is not to win or lose
But how they all should blend.
The truth is each is built into
The fabric of our days
Requiring that we must pursue
Sound, realistic ways.
Judicious blend is what we need
To keep us on due course -
With none promoted to exceed
And sanction our remorse.
Life Long Learning is a must
Kick the dust off your brain
And you will never be the same
Motivate yourselves
Learn new things
Motivation is one of the driving forces
Behind human behavior
It fuels competition and sparks social connection
Its absence can lead to mental illnesses such early depression
Motivation causes you to act in a way
That gets you closer to your goals
Even though you are old
No Mole can grow
Like a motor with moving rods
When oil lubricates all parts
Beyond the place of no rest
You are still to perform you best
Yet beyond the age of many years
No tears or fears may stop your progress
Now you may get your rest
You have past the test
The conference
I had gone to a writer's conference
The room was full of authors only interested
in reading and pushing their book
I had brought a book called Hunger, written
by Knut Hamsun, the pages were loose and
kept falling off, but there was a picture
of him a stern man-looking intellectual
The leader of the meeting, a man who was
proud he had not gone to college and said
he knew more than anybody else
did want to read Hamsun's book, because
Knut had gone to university in Oslo
Since the room was full of writers pushing
their work and didn't want to be influenced
by other voices, I left
In the parking lot, all the cars were white, my
car was a Russian jeep called Lada, but
I couldn't find it, so took my leave of the scene
The way of talking is exasperatingly bellicose.
The paradigm of longanimity has been dulled.
Presence, tragically, can't gather a full megadose.
Exceedingly, it is delicate and cracking cold.
I was prone to bouts of gloominess and fatigue.
More sureness would have been suffering an intrigue.
However, I improvised a helping to bestow the way.
I steadied my head on someone's shoulder all day.
We are all doomed to ruin, It will finally awake an end.
We invest such a heroic bid to render what we yield to tend.
We yell and scream in agony in an attempt to escape, it's all in vain.
Seclusion has owned me, so why should I swallow the pain?
Before praising your charm, I had asserted a qualm.
I felt as a flimsy leaf hanging from a brittle side, calm.
In an accrued state of utter and genuine regret.
And bowed over your wicked sight and felt warm abet
Trust empowers us to prevail over life's challenges.
It reveals the promise to support bloom into large fledges.
From seed sown by our parents, as we were conceived.
It can foster striving social ills and retain us relieved.
Sporadically I expected to shout and unwind.
However, I invited someone to listen to me that was kind.
Feasibly I wanted a nearer than a partner or brother.
Be that as it may, I quite bore one? I called her Mother.

Crazy COVID-19 has us all in a tizzy
Too much information making all of us dizzy
Most who’ve been exposed self-quarantine
Running out of toilet paper making us mean
“Social distancing” is the phrase du jour
Scientists scrambling now to find the cure
Hurry!
(Chorus)
COVID-19 apolitical
Proper testing so critical
Slow response hypocritical
Naysayers hypercritical
Division and strife
Don’t take my life
Give it back!
What started out in China as an epidemic
No respecter of nations totally pandemic
All around the world countries shutting down
Even New York City looks like a ghost town
Is there no end to this viral mess
As our way of life’s forced to evanesce?
Scary!
(Chorus)
COVID-19 apolitical
Proper testing so critical
Slow response hypocritical
Naysayers hypercritical
Division and strife
Don’t take my life
Give it back!

Often hidden or ignored, child brides and sex slaves are still a current global problem; as is child abuse in varying ways, including child labour. Heartbreaking and unacceptable.

Innocence destroyed
(Children are not brides)
By Michelle Morris
13/03/2021
You said we were beautiful,
You convinced me of our love;
But it was all a ruse,
Your intentions dishonourable.
Chorus
In who do we trust, when
shattered minds and hearts are laid bare?
In who do we rely, when it feels like
no one cares?
(end chorus)
Childhood innocence destroyed,
No one to tell of the dark void;
Trauma of being used,
Over and over again.
Chorus
They'll say you're beautiful,
That only they can understand;
They'll put their dirty hands on you,
And you'll never be the same.
Chorus
Be careful who you trust,
Not all are good inside;
Remember love is not lust,
And children are not brides.
Chorus

Sympathy,
at its positive
liberal Blue best,
begets
and yet regrets
mere tolerance of win/lose aggressive Others
not so entirely dissociated
from all-inclusive retributive justice
Social monoculturing
patriarchal systems
capable, on our best days,
of impatiently tolerating alien
aggressive,
terrorizing,
bullying,
militantly viral transgressing
every possible win/win nuance
of Golden MultiCultural Rules

In a too-often witnessed story
not significantly my own experience
to vulnerably
transparently share

Empathy,
by win/win superior contrast,
begets acceptance of others
who become everyday Allies

Recycling Earth health,

to avoid violently cruel circus
circuits of unusual retributive social

criminalizing

bloody red non-communionation.
Coming like a violent storm,
Most unaware of crippling foe,
Ominous charge is taking form,
Indicting nation’s moral woes.
Many have become rogue and wild,
Blind to subtle social changes,
Dull to enemy’s evil wiles,
Naïve to immoral binges.
Stressed out by our culture’s ills,
Misguided by bureaucrat’s vow,
Duped by sharp marketing skills,
Depending on NASDAQ or the Dow.
Day has dawned to draw the line,
With full trust and integrity,
Work as one for right in our time,
To end hatred and bigotry.
Waft a message and not refrain,
In midst of a silver lining,
Judgment is framed by hope’s change,
Repentance brings Land’s refining.
Our granddaughter attended her high school Prom…
her photo was posted on-line
which led me on a hunt through our old photos
until I found one of me at mine.
As I gazed at these two photos
50 years apart…I quietly exclaimed
how parts of our world have changed dramatically
while others remain the same.
50 years ago social media and computers
were, to us, unknown
today we have access to the world
and can take pictures on our phone.
But as technologies and social media
readjust and rearrange
friendship, love and high school proms
are things that never change.
Take a look at these two photos
I’m sure you’ll see it too…
how even 50 years apart
we both look good in blue.
You may be wondering to yourself
which one of us wore it better…
no need to answer…God forbid!
Take another look…
it’s obvious who did!
