The Unceasing Question: What If

What if you were an inhabitant of a world
Where there's no hate, greed, jealousy, envy, and pride;
And one is not enraged by the prosperity of another?
What if conceit and enmity are erased from the course of history,
And malignity is perpetually swallowed in the deepest of pits,
Sinking to rise no more?

What if your subconscious ideate a world
Filled with love, peace, and harmony?
What if Seven Billion human beings could live together under one canopy,
Tending to and upholding high esteem for one another
As benevolence becomes the ultimate act,
That reigns over all timelines?

What if we put aside the destructive comparisons and competitions,
And every individual follows his or her own path
While uplifting all others at the same time?
What if the promotion of individuality and self productivity,
Was the niche of every human —one to another—
And every gift and talent was equally consequential to society?

What if there was no lust for power
And political leaders as well as government officials,
Assume offices not to seek their own selfish interests
By misappropriating public funds, and embezzling state owned belongings to enrich themselves?
What if they had the sincere dedication
To ensure the welfare and security of the state and its citizens?

What if this world was a sanctuary of peace with the nonexistence of violence,
Where nations were aimed at building, rather than destroying one another?
What if unity becomes a compelling force
That binds the Earth to its core,
And compassion remains the lifelong element
That keeps the Universe in motion?

What if the globe was entirely void 
of racism, prejudice, discrimination, and partiality; 
Where each and every human was afforded equally the same opportunity 
Regardless of their race, sex, ethnicity, culture or nationality? 
What if we could finally dwell in a word once dreamed of by Martin Luther King Jr.,
Where "humans will no longer be judged based on the color of their skin, but by the contents of their character"? 

There is an extreme power in these questions! 
But what if they were a reality, can you imagine what we could all achieve? 
What if you allow that imagination to create pictures of transformations? 
What if you act stepwise from these unceasing questions, 
And give it a chance to become a momentous action, 
To make this Planet a better Creation?


In Hope

I heard them say, 
that life is full of promises. 
I hear them pray, 
that God makes a way us to excel. 
I have a dream, 
and each morning I wake up just to give it a chase. 
I aim high, 
higher than where the moon and stars are placed. 
I give it a try, 
and the universe gives me a peak of what I can have. 
It's within reach, 
If I stretch further I can have a touch. 
Its all there, 
my heart and soul knows this and we take control. 
The control of life, 
steering with keen towards our goal. 
I see the light, 
Its shinning brighter for my eyes feel with glee.

...then it all comes crushing down....

I blink a bit and it comes crushing... 
down, am left lying in darkness...
It was all there, now nowhere...
shuttered...
am drowning...

How could it disappear I ask, 
How can it seem so near, 
yet so far I cannot bear, 
the thought of losing it before getting there...
How could it lead me so closer, 
yet the moment I near it vanishes in thin air...
how could it...

Painful it is to bear, 
the thought of being down brings fear, 
my mind wanders in confusion as I strive for a better,
feeling than this causing my heart to drown like it's tied to an anchor.

I must wake, 
I must rise from this wreck,
I must gather the only strength I have left to try and break,
I must take heart and rise above all fear and torture that evil can make.

and so I rise, 
in hope I find the means, 
to stand on two feet,
again to keep my goal alive. 
In hope I steer dust off the dirt, 
I take up the sword and hold it closer to my heart, 
arising from  the ashes and again seeking to fly, 
my focus now clearer and my breathe now deeper, 
I know I can do it and all it takes is the inner, 
spirit to excel above all that tries to hinder, 
me from achieving what I have been so eager, 
to find and make my whole life better. 

In hope I fly, 
In hope I try, 
In hope I strive,
In hope all I seek I shall find.

..and so I go, 
head held high and full of hope, 
heart pumping harder and mind set on my goal, 
I know, 
that failing doesn't mean the end of the road, 
I know, 
that the journey of life is full of such falls, 
I know, 
that the bad sometimes comes our way just to make us strong, 
I know, 
that the only way I can get there is by filling my heart with eternal hope. 
I know...
that in hope,
all, 
is never,
lost.

The Dream Snatcher

One night, I heard a creaking sound,
Opened my eyes- nothing was found.
But I felt dizzy the next day;
Something had been taken away.
I got up, sat to have some toast,
Daydream about all I love most;
I tried to dream with all my might
But realized something wasn't right.
No dreams would come into my head,
My dream ability was DEAD.
I told my friend about my plight,
And the strange creaking in the night.
He shook his head with great dismay,
'The Dream-Snatcher's been round your way.'
'The Dream-Snatcher? Not heard of him!' 
'Prepare for a story most grim.
He has no shape, cannot be seen
And does something so very mean,
Creeps in at night, and through your ear,
Sucks out your dreams, and blows in FEAR!
You then can't dream when you've awaken,
With no clue of what's been taken.
Instead of dreams, you're left with DOUBT,
Once that's in, it's hard to get out!'
'What do I do?' I cried in shock,
'How do I stop this dreaming block?'
My friend replied 'We must begin
By not allowing doubt to WIN.
In order to keep him at bay,
You must shout "DOUBT! Please go away!
I want to dream! I want to hope!
I believe there is an endless scope
To what I can do and achieve,
All I have to do is BELIEVE!"'.
I copied this, with one last shout:
'NO ROOM FOR YOU IN MY LIFE, DOUBT!'
'Good' said my friend, 'now tell me WHY
You can now bid this doubt goodbye.'
'Because I'm ambitious and smart,
Because I have an honest heart,
There's nothing standing in my way,
I have one life- let's seize the day!'
I felt a tingle in my brain
And in my heart- was I insane?
My friend said 'By your flushed red cheek
I see DOUBT's started to feel weak!'
'But,' I said, 'what if I fail?'
'FAIL's a word you EXHALE
Out of your head, out of your life,
Believing that word ends in strife.
Passion and the will to succeed
Are the two things in life you need.'
My heart began to tingle more
In a way it hadn't before,
'Wow!' said my friend, 'look at your face!
It's red! It's smiling! Now there's space
Where doubt once was, for DREAMS instead!
Dream away, pretty, fill your head!'
If a Dream-Snatcher comes tonight
To snatch your hopes right out of sight,
There's a friend who sometimes seems shy
But when you need him, is close-by,
called CONFIDENCE- Conny for short,
I'll leave you with this final thought-
Dream BIG, dream with limitless height-
Meet that Dream-Snatcher with a fight
When he comes for your dreams tonight.

Descending,
  I manipulate and manoeuvre for the updraft
  Spluttering,
  I spiral down, then briefly up again, to glimpse a glowing sky
  Flapping,
  I fall forever faster, flat-eagled
  Plunging, 
  I watch the unwelcome gloom envelope my horizon
  Tumbling,
  I twist, turn and turbulate, ... then the thudding thump
  Gasping,
  I groan and exhale, a noiseless moan
  Curling,
  I recoil as innards become outward form

  Emerging,
  a base inside-out creature crawls and creeps
  Tasting,
  the tongue-tied intestines and the unseeing socket eyes
  Groping,
  a gruesome grub befriends the worm and slurps the slug-slime
  Engorging,
  as flaunted members flail blood and flick licky, sticky fluid
  Reforming,
  dim visions populate carnal shapes with awful movement
  Gaping,
  a fearful half-formed and startled face averts its gaze
  Residing,
  in deep gutter niches... these are my companion dwellers

  Wallowing,
  I sniff a redolent upswell of dank fissured earth
  Disturbing,
  I scrape, cleave and wipe away a smear of covering soil
  Trembling,
  I sense a warmth of body, a stretching of exotic wings
  Enquiring,
  I mutter clumsy overtures and crude enticements
  Retreating,
  I hear unmistaken rebuke and a sigh of disappointment
  Imploring,
  I elevate my utterances and seek a further hearing
  Caressing,
  I feel a welcoming and forgiving response

  Pulsing,
  the creature's cocoon gives way to nebulous female form
  Ascending,
  at first a cherub woman smiles playfully down on me
  Transforming,
  a stimulating and sensuous siren cavorts and teases
  Uplifting,
  wings gather me in for a swooping flight of fancy
  Revealing,
  from above, her intimate view of dwellers in the hinterland
  Coaxing,
  she fills me now with empathy and understanding
  Alighting,
  my body-mind lies prone beneath her

  Tingling,
  I feel her form and thoughts slowly enter and encompass me
  Exploring,
  I arouse and we gently probe between lips and sphincter
  Delving,
  I follow our rhythm of kiss, taste, touch and thrust
  Wandering,
  I experience our ambiguous male and female desire
  Playing,
  I laugh at how we tickle our innocence and sophistication
  Loving,
  I know for delirious moments what it is to be another
  Consumed,
  lost in coexistence with a like- but more extraordinary- mind

You are Love and Light wrapped in Starlight and Stardust and Magic

Inspired by the moving life experience of a teenager. You are not alone. Please don't isolate yourself. 

You are Love and Light wrapped in
Starlight and Stardust and Magic
By Michelle Morris
22/07/2025

He found your beauty alluring
Your innocence captivated his predatory instincts
He'd done this again and again
Leaving broken girls in his wake

They would stay in the Abyss
That Darkness he created
So often feeling isolated
So often feeling helpless and alone

If they would only realise
That they are still Beautiful
Pure Souls in vessels harmed
Battered Hearts wrapped up in shame

No person can take away your Soul
No person can take away your true Power
For it is all part of you
The Magic that you are

Your body and mind will heal
It just takes a lot of time and patience
Forgiveness of yourself
Acceptance and facing those demons

Your Heart will recover its beat
Your Soul will once again find its music
Your Song that is forever your Song
Your Energy that is forever your Energy

So, remember these words, my love
You are Love and Light wrapped in
Starlight and Stardust and Magic
You are the Miracle - you are the Miracle

I can't save you or walk your Path
I can only be here when you need me
I can't do the work for you
But I can support your Path and Growth

I can sit with you in the Abyss
Help navigate your way through the Darkness
I can provide Comfort and Compassion 
I can hold you close and give you Warmth

But at some point you have to do it
You have to rise from the ashes like a Phoenix
Spread your Wings and fly Free once more
Embrace your Power and your Passion

You are stronger than you know
And you are never alone on your Journey
We Women are connected throughout Time
We are One in our Feminine Power

No one can take away our Worth
No one can take away our Power
We are rare and infinite Creators
We are Divine Blessings to the Universe

See us all around you
The Spirit of the Women
See your Angels and your Guides
They Protect and Guide your Way

May your Heart beat with Joy and Peace
May your Soul hum its perfect Music
May your Song keep inspiring your Voice
May your Energy keep flowing with Source

And don't forget these words, my love
You are Love and Light wrapped in
Starlight and Stardust and Magic
You are the Miracle - you are the Miracle

Premium Member Armadilly Billy, the Slingshot Kidster

Armadilly came galloping into Troll Lake, bent on seeking a new life, to unwind.
He’d rode out of the Badlands, leaving only a trail of blowing dust and leaves, behind.
His steady stead Jalopy had been pounding feet, relentlessly with powerful strides.
Rearing up, Armadilly stopped before our Troll Bridge with his slingshot at his side.

I could see, he rode the sleekest mount, and the biggest tortoise, that I had ever seen.
Man that armadillo knew his tortoise flesh… this was the fastest one, ever been!
I would say: he truly looked, the devil’s mount… with glowing, fire stocked eyes.
The stranger named himself as Armadilly, but his true identity, could not be denied.

He was really Armadilly Billy, The Slingshot Kidster, as he bowed to us, so very low.
With a yes Ma'am, and a no Sir, he was smooth and could charm, near any old soul.
The Trolls loved him for the spell binding stories, that at the campfire, he gave away.
He never talked about his past, but we knew who he was, without being told, that day.

The rumor had it that Sheriff Bunny Garret had shot him dead, on one fateful day.
Another said he’d faked his death, heading south to Mexico, his life to live away.
But we knew better, for he was here with us, right now, on this illustrious day.
We knew he was a kind and misunderstood guy, because of what I’m about to say.

He saved our squirrel, Funkundilly, from a hawk diving straight for her, inward bound.
With his slingshot, like streaked lightening, he forced the hawk to spiral to the ground.
And we all applauded that Funkundilly was now, once again, so very safe and sound.
Then he strode, spurs a jangling, to dish out his own type of justice, so very renowned.

With a steely glint in his eye, he ordered the hawk away, or meet his end, he did convey.
And you can say that frightened bully hawk, really high tailed it, as he ran away.
Everyone celebrated that night, with Armadilly, all the way to dawn’s embrace.
Before he left, Armadilly knew from then on, he’d always have a home in this place.

But his mind was set on a wandering, more of this world’s adventures, to unweave.
So with a HiHo! Jalopy! He took off, leaving in another cloud of dust and leaves.
But I heard him shout that he’d be back again, soon… 
And we were sure, that’s just what he would do!

Premium Member Pickle Party Time

Tomorrow is the huge party,                                                                          everyone has been invited to come even the turkey.                                            The turkey has been roasted and weighed,                                                         salads and cakes have been made.                                                             Rows of pickles are on the plate,                                                                         sliced cheese and crackers wait.

Feel Me

I do it for the boys, the girls, men, the women,
plus Allah's unborn children look how I'm living
it's similar to, your situation no money making,
just chips and egg crates in front the Playstation.
Cable's late again my real friends know my struggle,
a rough 9 to 5 plus supplying studio time is my hussle.
It's just my father, Jibri, and I shacked in a shack
shackled to a broken home with no
welcome mat get back.
Everysince my mother left the building,
the feeling ain't the same pain is building
rain is killing the window pain.
Winters are harsh man, but I can take it though
as long as I'm wrapped up in these blankets
I'm a make it man.

I do it for the emcees, the djs, the b-boys, the b-girls,
hip hop is a growing culture plus it's a free world.
Free to manifest expressions,
free to rep your section focused over nice composures
flowing until the night is over.
Don't be like me just be like the music you like
use right rhyme and reason choose nice lines and preach them.
Watch the ones leeching watch who you be with frequent
cause you can end up with your dreams slowly sinking.
Only you can make it in this, it's a business,
forget the fame listen use your senses don't be senseless.
Be patient and grind hard if waiting to shine start
slanging tapes on my block & your block it don't stop.
Hit up every spot around,
it's a milion of us trying to get a milion bucks and
chill in a vila feeling the cool breeze.
I'm am who me.
the same easy dude speaking jeweles
do you I'm a do me.

I started off young with a pen and a pad lyrics I had
before that I scribbled on scraps forget about class.
Entered school thinking of rap,
grades sinking in math
twas either skip, go home, or sit in the back.
During lunch I read what I wrote
they said it was dope, within battles
no one put Bomb Threat on the ropes.
Six years later I.....left to go solo felt I was hopeless
in a group that wasn't hungry only one supplying money me.
Then the south was united, two years later divided
but Mama Glo, had the best ideas,
but I, down no man no way no how
cause if you make it in this game from the heart I'm proud.
FLA I will make this official rake up a pencil
for Jenah's sake I'm a make it
and mention you on an instrumental.
That's a promise I'm honest, show me love back
hold me down
southside is us you gotta love that.
