COMMUNITY CONVERSATION

Some say crucify him
Many said enslave him
Others said neglect him
Few said let's hear from him
They never wanna listen to his messages.

Some say let's rectify him
Many said let's edify him
Others said let's glorify him
Few said no let's nail him
Now some can relate
But they don't want his rule.

He's always prepare
Ready to fight for his right
Defending his personality

Premium MemberThe Kings Of Backgammon

The kings of backgammon, descendants of
Bulgarian kings and Austro-Hungarian princes
Russian counts and countesses, Czech barons
Your ancestors have seen better days.
They accepted their fate as the natural state of affairs
And when it turned out to be just a fickle fortune
They had the nurture and tact not to show their shock,
Though usually such a ruthless discovery crushes

Opposition

Flirting with oppositional screams
As I grip the reins of a strangled soul
Is not as simple to me as life or death
Moments that are only memories flickering

Like a candle that is burning out
eventually the wick will be spent
The last lick of the flame is what will
Recapture the spirit within these windows

Shining through the cracks
Of this numb

Your Body Has Two Opposition Parties

Your body has two opposition parties
Front liberals, back conservatives

Never eat from one plate
Never say hello to the other 

When one faces east
The other faces west

When one faces north
The other faces south

When one looks at rising Sun
The other waits for setting Sun

When one sleeps on ground
The other looks at the sky

But try to ask them, “Why

Human Contrasts Procedures

Some people feel rich,
         wearing shabby clothes,
         yet clean...
         Some people feel rarely poor
         owning full elegant wardrobe

Opposition

Can height descend to the abyss
     the means find their finally
     the tremor is shaken in earthquakes
     the distance is not a limit?
     Can eld be fresh again
     the brook could finally be a sea

Fear Is the Opposite of Love

Fear is the opposite of love

Odium. Rejection. 

Love is

Acceptance 

Openness

Appreciation 

For what Is.

Hard over soft,
Dark over light,

Heartless to heart full-

But emptiness, you choose

A choice!

And you retreat

Alone

For fear is the opposite of love 

unwavering. 

Everlasting.

Abundant.

And so you choose

A choice 

For you know not

That true love is freedom.

Tomb of Unburied Days

While volcanoes rehearse to show their teeth
lovers shouting from the well of the house
wave broken condoms rather than broken trust

conflate dissent on self-erasing slates
and prove worse than the old oxen 
long following circuitous ways

billowing opposition, discalced defenders

they all assert superior dishonesty
sell cheap what is most dear or make
offences of new affections

I carry the tomb of

Premium MemberThe Pepperman the World of Internal Light and Opposition

THERE ARE MILLIONS
OF DOORS IN THE UNIVERSE
THAT LEAD TO DESIRED 
AND UNDESIRED DESTINATIONS.

I OPENED A DOOR TO
A WORLD OF OPPOSITION.
A WORLD OF DARKNESS.
FILLED WITH HATRED ANIMOSITY 
ANGER AND JEALOUSY.

I SAW NO REASON.
IN FACT I SAW NOTHING.
NOT EVEN MY OWN HAND
IN FRONT OF MY OWN FACE.

I  BEGAN TO FEEL ISOLATED,
UNWANTED, REJECTED
UNFIT TO BE PRESENT,
AS IF

        You are entering in as I am to leave.
        Believe me, that’s not my intention.

In Opposition of the Other Poem

CONVEYING A MESSAGE
THEY FOUND IT EASIER TO COME TO AN UNDERSTANDING
EXCEPT THEY KNEW
THAT EACH WORD SPOKEN
MEANT THE END OF THOSE YESTERDAYS THAT HAD
THEM TOGETHER
THOSE FRIENDS THEY MADE WERE NOW
PEOPLE THEY USE TO KNOW
IN A TIME THAT THEY HAD SHARED
PROSPECTING AREAS TO GAIN NEW RESPECT
WOULD ENTANGLE THEM
THEY SOUGHT BEST AND
FOUND THE
PRETENTIOUS, ARROGANT SIDE OF PEOPLE
THAT VAIN
