And our hearts are painted with black.

And their lives are like the speed of an airship.

Premium Member Allies Toward Nirvana
Our Buddhist alllies,

Yet we have this climatic problem
of pathology,
win/lose evil corrupting 
ZeroSum energy systems,
power networks,
regenerative empowerment.

Dark Skinned Vs Light Skinned
In our Asian-cum-Eastern land
No one prefers or admires
the dark-skinned or tanned

Gosh, as if the fair-skinned alone
belonged to the so-called fairer sex

All falling for the light skinned almost in...

Premium Member Why You Were Born
Ever wonder why you are here?
Your non existence generates fear.
How'd you get this body, this life,
While millions suffer in strife?

From a faith lessening suffering.
