All human lives matter.
They met in street rallies,
fighting for justice and change.
All pain and glory they shared,
handcuffed to the same chain,
whipped with the same police spray,
facing the same hanging judge,
taking the same heroic plea:
Not guilty. We stand against
greed, racism, war, and inequality.
We stand for humanity, one earth,
one identity.
But they were sent to separate jails,
did not diminish their love's scale.
Then they decided to get married
and finally got what they need
a night together, the warden's courtesy
which could have lasted for eternity.
But he was tortured and quietly buried;
she was unaware and constantly worried,
had a child she raised with her in prison,
taught him how to keep his composition.
The government fell and rebels got them freed;
both were super happy indeed, yet sad
when they learned of evil deed.
My love I swear to never forget
all that our sweet love beget.
Rest in peace my hero, my love,
my everlasting dove.

Before work burned something potent
Then checked a trap inside was a dead rodent
It got disposed quick
No coffin, tombstone or roses
Realize it won't always be harmonious
Sometimes it may be odious
Here is my notion and diagnosis
I've got to own it
And enjoy the moment
Not worried about any opponent
Just keeping focus
Ready to take care of the onus
Realizing I will and won't earn an occasional bonus
Do you believe in totems or omens?
Can you relate to any of my poems?
Better get on it while the door opens
Before it closes
Above and below the oceans
The universe in constant motion
A near endless amount of slogans
Some of which are rather bogus
It's wise to have devotion
Staying consistent, working hard toward a promotion
“I’m not Worried About AI”
Some people worry that AI will
Take over this world
Not me
I’m not worried about AI because:
AI can’t
Bust up laughing when it trips over its feet in front of a cute guy
Or
Feel the overwhelming sense of accomplishment after finishing its first marathon
AI can’t
Feel the depths of heartbreak from losing a baby
Or
Lose itself in the eyes of a person who just asked it to marry them
AI can’t
Have faith so strong that it is able to forgive someone who stole from them
Or
Experience serene gratitude as it bathes in the warmth of the sun
AI can’t
Burst with pride as it watches their child graduate from high school
Or
Surrender to the involuntary waves of an ****** as it makes love under the moonlight
AI
Will never know our reality
That is why
I'm not worried about AI
Is rain on the way since the sky is gray?
Thunder roars, so yes, it's headed this way.
If lightning bolts spark the sky, will you fear?
That's my reaction when it strikes too near.
I see the hovering of nimbus clouds.
They're wearing dark cloaks like funeral shrouds.
I just felt the first drops of falling rain.
They sting like fire nettles, causing great pain.
Is the wind blowing things helter-skelter?
The storm approaches: we must take shelter.
I see a flock of starlings taking flight.
They're fleeing from squalls coming in the night.
I'm quivering like a tremulous bird.
This weather rends your nerves until they've stirred.
It's drawing closer with each thunderous roar!
Take courage. We've been through tempests before.
If a tornado comes, what should we do?
To the basement until the threat is through.
I should kindle a fire to warm the room.
That's a good thought to get rid of the gloom.
I'm worried shingles will blow off the roof.
This house has been through worse weather as proof.
Is it possible there will be a flood?
Trust me. There's sure to be puddles of mud.
Isn't it strange that storms arrive in the night?
That seems to be true, but we'll be alright.
I must sound like a whining worry wart.
That thought would never cross my mind, sweetheart.
Ignore my ramblings, but I cannot sleep.
There's chamomile tea. I'm letting it steep.
I think the wind is dying down at last.
Thank goodness. It appears the worst has passed.
I want to thank you for staying with me.
There is no place else I would rather be.

Kindergarten was a scary word for me,
Though I longed to go, I was kind of worried
But, lo and behold, there was nothing to fear
Because, when I entered the class…
There came a smile, so sincere.
She was tall with dark hair that rested high on her head,
She wore glasses and required me to listen to her share
Stories of worlds which I would long to see…
The music, the light, the lingering of an autumn breeze.
Kindergarten was the moment when I would agree,
I became a little more important – more grown up, more certain
That I could do what others did, be a student, a true friend,
Hear my heart breath hope, faith and gentleness…
She was a stirring of grace and peace,
A welcome encouragement, a tender ally,
Someone who knew me and understood….
The reasons for my tears, my fears, my prayers,
The moments when I’d feel like I couldn’t compare,
The motives, the causes, the purpose for it all….
She was my teacher – the one who seemed to know totally,
All the answers, all the solutions, all the keys to breaking through
The doubts, the fears, the darkest worries… the grief that stills
The hearts affections….
She was more than a teacher, though.
She was the smile who refreshed my soul.
She was the heart who helped me to soar…
When I felt like my wings were gone,
She told me I was wrong…
And helped me to lift them high,
So I’d finally touch the sky!
This teacher was more than an educator.
She was way more, - so much greater!
I will forever remember what she brought to my life…
The joy and hope, the support through all my strife.
Without her, kindergarten would have been way harder
Without her, I’d have felt lost and disheartened.
Without her, I doubt I’d have know the wonder…
Of a year I’d remember as happy and essential
To the rest of my life, the rest of my training,
To the part of my life that would lead to the present day –
A present where I just continue to pray and praise!
I’m thankful for my kindergarten teacher.
She was way more than blessed – she was a gift from God Himself!
It isn't about the race
I should have told my runners
the morning
of the race
today is more
than one 5k
they looked bored, tired,
excited, and all the other
feelings they wouldn't
share with me
there are too many people
and I cannot project myself
convincingly enough
to let my 3rd-8th
graders know
that the race doesn't matter
and the metal
is just made of metal
(mass-produced)
The vendors line
the showplace
and Justin Timberlake's
song is playing
(how come I hear this song
at every 5k race?)
'Can't Stop the Feeling'
I tell my kids to warm up
and parents are worried
that they will get tired
(Its back and forth on flat road
four times only!
You wimps!
(Not the kids
Select parents)
Why do I feel like a clown,
entertainer, enthusiast,
dictionary of nonsense,
and idiotic coach
all at the same time
today?
I need a party size
bottle of pinot grigio
to get through this
alive!
Fifth wave, bibs are on,
my top runner is full
of cheese fries,
and we are off!
One fell down
at the beginning
(not on my team)
Another one lost a shoe
and carried it
through the race
(not on my team)
The sun was just bright
and warm enough
to make another kid
cry while walking
down the hill
"They made me run,
I hate this!"
(Not on my team)
All my runners survived
and none of the parents
sued me
We didn't win
and they all scattered after
for the Kona Ice
Not on my team!
You're worried he hasn't called
though he didn't say he would.
And wait for the phone to ring,
knowing he'd call if he could.
You peer out of the window
once more for the hundredth time.
And when there is still no sign,
anxieties start to climb.
You wonder why; he's so late,
maybe it's a traffic jam.
Or perhaps he's at some bar,
and just doesn't give a damn!
He'd better have an excuse
or head home on the double.
Yet you pray that he isn't
in any sort of trouble.
All is quickly forgotten
as he pulls into the drive.
And you greet him with a kiss,
thankful he's home; and alive.

GRANDMA'S RECIPES ARE ILLEGAL ,
THEY GO AGAINST THE FDA.
DOCTORS , LAYERS AND SCIENCE
ARE WORRIED THEY WON'T GET PAID.
THE NATURE OF SCIENCE TURNS SOUR
WITH THE INTRODUCTIONS OF GMO'S
ALTERING EVOLUTION , INTO THE
DIRECTION OF LIFE UNKNOWN.
WITH REASON AND LOGIC DISTORTION
REALITY BECOMES A BLUR.
CAUSING MORTAL BEINGS AND THEIR
BELIEFS TO BECOME UNSURE.
MODIFICATION OF BIOLOGICAL BEHAVIOR
TURNS HUMANS INTO FREAKS OF
NATURE
CAUSING A WORLD OF CHAOS
AS SEEN THROUGH NOMANCLATURE
DOCTORS AND LAWYERS FOR SCIENCE
ARE PATIENTLY STANDING BY
EQUIPPED , ARMED AND READY
TO PROOVE NATURE IS A LIE.
ENTER , VIRTUAL REALITY
WHERE YOUR LIFE IS JUST A DREAM.
UNDER ARTIFICIAL INNTELLIGENCE
LIFE ISN'T WHAT IT SEEMS.
STEP BACK INTO GRANDMA'S KITCHEN
TAKE A SEAT AT THE KITCHEN TABLE.
LISTEN TO GRANDMA'S WISDOM ,
THAT'S ONLY IF WILLING AND ABLE.

I watched Columbo season after season,
Amazed at how close we were in unkempt appearance,
Disregard for fashion, comfortable in the same clothes
He had a soft non-threatening way about him
The perpetrators were never worried,
Sure they could outsmart this hayseed
He would have them explain things until he got them,
acting like he was slow, so they would have to dumb it down
Actually, he was listening for their mistakes
Just one more thing, he would say, walking back into the room
That is when I knew he had somehow figured it out.
It was like watching a grown up Encyclopedia Brown
It thrilled me week after week after week
He appeared non-threatening, unassuming
putting them off guard.
Realizing that the most common acting person
Is possibly the most brilliant is incredibly reassuring,
and empowering.
Be irresponsible
by acts of third parties,
but responsible for
your actions ... but not
overdo...
Be a crazy
controlled or a
seriously uncontrolled,
after all being too right
does not create the superior world ...
Do not be ashamed of the ridiculous
the shameless man can have
things that the shy man does not
achieve ... expose yourself fearless,
dare to say silly things ... one day
You will learn...
Who does not seek, nothing
gains ..., who is quiet
Do not drink or eat. Be worried.
without worrying ... be a donor
but do not run out, turn back
and repeat ...
Who gives receives ...
who hides himself
suffers ... be sophisticated
being simple, complicated
uncomplicated
Assume what you not achieved,
or understood, be aware why...
teach what you learned so that
be stimulated to awareness ...
Modify yourself, but stay the
same essentially ...
Be audacious on challenges, be ready
to lose, to learn and
to win ... Lose shyness,
lose your fear ... laugh at fear,
be superior to modesty ... but
do not abuse or abuse yourself,
do not harm anyone
with your postures,
otherwise be an example.
Be sure that
this world is yours ... in partnership
with everyone ... be the owner
of yourself...
Find yourself, meet and
live life with will
to live in a nicely way ...!
