Premium MemberI AM POTATO


I have a skin, brown tan melolin
Inside of me is water, energy
I have nodes from which buds are formed
I am shapeN like a football, a peanut, a fat lumpy carrot
I may develop sprouting, buds, green spots
I may be spoilage, not cause my parents giving me everything I ask

Interspersed in a tubular, vallecular
If for I am green growing out my sprouts
I am better off tossed out
Thrown away
What, Who am I
The one with many eyes, but no hands
Whom, am eye with eyes and spots
Inside me is water, starch and energy
Inside me ivory tan inside me
I am russet Burbank Shepody, Umatilla
What nation to I come from
What nationally am I
You see I am not human
But I human-to-see

I have many so love
the growing points so are potato tubers, 
each with a little stem bud 
the Red, White, Russet Oh’ how we love

 begin to sprout, the growths those roots,
 eyes, and bumps have a high
 concentration of compounds see
I’m not human

I am a potato

Inside the night of the kill

In the night of the calm the reckoning of thee passing killer will walk right through tall like thee other side. I'm at nationally tuning nervously in thee night of thee calm. The skin on my arms are thickened and greatly right at his voice starts it completely goes away like I no longer have skin on mmy arms anymore, I was so scared tiny of this moment when his questions were flowing at mee.

Live Passionately, Love Passionately

If there is nothing I know for sure
I know that we need to show love more
If you’ve never done it in the past
Remember any day could be your last
Give a hug
Flaunt a smile
Kiss lasting as long as the river Nile
Announce your love and spread it nationally
Live Passionately, love passionately 
Words of love should be embraced
Don’t hide
The strongest forces cannot be denied

Premium MemberTen Days of Testing

Testing testing testing
Ten days of testing.
These aren't even nationally normed tests!
They are state tests!
What a horrible ending for our students

They will not want to return
After Memorial Day weekend
Or After the summer break
or maybe ever again...

Will their parents force them to come back
after this four-day weekend
For testing testing testing testing testing testing?
I wouldn’t.

Premium MemberStay Safe

Calling all cars! Calling all cars! Be
On the look out for the invisible, the untested.
Resume suspicion of all surfaces.
Our hands like precious china.
Nevermind the irony,
Act vigilant, cautious, enclosed.
Verify the whereabouts of your fingers.
Interrogate your face.
Render all humans and objects a possible threat.
Underestimation will nationally behoove us.
Stay safe.

Premium MemberMilitary Presence

Feeling comfortable with a military presence in your community,
is one of the first things government does, according to history, 
just prior to when government takes over a country.
I have noticed a lot of military presence in New York City,
within our subway system particularly.
Have any other fellow New Yorkers noticed, or is it just me?
This is most likely going on nationally,
in every major U S city.

Family Life

Family life
 
 I ask myself what is wrong with borders well-defined places 
with interior freedom and rules;
yes rules, the liberty to do what you want leads enslavement 
break- up of families and chaos.
What`s wrong with having your banking system and our
money of choice with a picture of a nationally famous, skier 
and what Is wrong with discipline,
 children becoming a little monster because we are so liberal
We talk about their right…what rights.
Look out of the window in any city what you see is flotsam
People who have no purpose a river of drugged people 
Who never learned a thing?
What is wrong in saying a people can only absorb to fit
In refugees at a slower speed, 
by all means, they are welcome
we need educated young people, in Europe were women 
no longer care to procreate.
The glass ceiling is more important and men to think 
their career comes first, and children are neglected
sent to a psychiatrist who prescribes pills knowing well
what the problem is.
But of course, we can say nothing and if we do, are
called  a fascist

Ashley Facey-Thompson

Ashley best describes himself as, 
Cheeky, funny and also happy as, 
He’s a student at South Bank Uni, 
Of sports coaching in London city. 

He is a very keen table tennis player, 
Started playing in primary, 7th year, 
And just missed out on London 2012,
But was at Rio 2016 with his helve.  

2013 and Ashley won many bronzes:
Italy, Hungary and had Czech ounces;
So in 2014 Ashley won UK nationally, 
In class 8-9 singles, phenomenally. 

Then breakthrough: Slovenian Open. 
In the team event, you’re no token, 
And at the Cote d’Azur International, 
Ashley won 2 bronzes medals brutal.

In 2015 he won in the team events, 
Had Italian, HU, CZ and DE tents,
And in Denmark reached the quarters, 
At the European Champs, garters.  

In Copa, Costa Rica, in the singles,
He took silver in swift class 9 jingles, 
And in Rio made the quarters, team, 
With K Daybell. He’s Erbs palsy lean.

Ryan Crouch

Ryan has been plagued with illness, 
So took a swimming break in 2014,
But managed to be selected for Rio,
Where he made the finals freestyle.

He possesses mild Cerebral Palsy, 
Which affects his right side and foot, 
And after on this foot an operation,
For rehabilitation he did swimming. 

He’s swum since he was five years, 
And when he was eleven he raced, 
For the Dovercourt Swimming Club, 
To progress to race nationally, UK. 

Someone spotted him aged eleven, 
And coach Dave Champion taught, 
To him the freestyle and backstroke, 
Also the butterfly - he swims the S9.

At an International Meet, chilly April, 
2016, Ryan swum the 50m freestyle, 
In the qualification time for the Paras, 
In the finals, 8th place in 26.76 secs.

Laurence Whiteley

Before Laurence survived bone cancer, 
Chemotherapy and everything, he swam, 
Competed nationally and internationally, 
But afterwards rowing became his gram. 

He was born on August the 29th in 1991,
And comes from North Yorkshire, moors, 
He went to Hurworth House and Polam, 
Schools, he won triathlons for his spoors.

Taking up rowing in 2011 at the Tees RC, 
He competes in TA mixed double sculls, 
And initially he raced with the able-bodied, 
But now enjoys para-rowing which gulls. 

So in Alguebelette in France at the Worlds, 
2015, he and partner Lauren came second,
And in Rio, the open stage of the strongest, 
The two secured the gold, rightly reckoned.

Premium MemberPenetrating Everlasting Light

There is such darkness all around
spiritually morally socially emotionally
it is effecting everything in sight
wherever we are it's scattering nationally

We need a remedy to this ill
something to overcome this evil force
to face it head on as it stands
make sure to strip at it's source

God needs to come with His light
this light so filled with power divine
coming down from heaven above
sent with enlightenment to shine

This light would be God sent
to rescue this world in it's sin
it's penetration would eternally show
mankind helpless hopeless can't win

This light's stronger than any sun
eternally always will be for ever
Jesus coming powerfully in His truth
for He is our source our eternal giver

Dwight's Prayer

January 17, 1961

 "We pray," he said
 "that people of all faiths
 all races, all nations..
 will come to live
 together in a peace
 guaranteed by
 the binding force
 of mutual respect
 and love."


“…in a nationally televised speech, Dwight D. Eisenhower addresses the American people for the last time as president. Expressing ideas that seem prophetic in retrospect, Eisenhower offered his fears and hopes for the future, warning against the unfettered growth of the "military-industrial complex," as he coined it, and calling for diplomacy, restraint, and compassion in dealing with future crises with the Soviet Union. Despite his sadness that peace was not in sight, the great Allied commander offered [the above] a closing prayer to the world from America.”

Acrostic : My Pakistan

My land is culturally richest,
Yes not as bloody as canvased!

Purely we follow the same lord,
At same time we offer, so faith is restored!

Knotted in holy month to fast, all together,
In my home, religious values still haven’t blur!

So we speak different languages but,
The followers of same prophet!

And we have the different skin color,
Nationally but we are alike, greener!

In my home, hospitality for which people dote,
Nobly I say religion we culturally denote!

And the love imparted in closely knitted families
So rich, but live only under father’s monopolies!

I make hackneyed proclamation of beauty of my home,
Anchoring the same ship, we stand under the same dome!
