Overestimate Poems


Premium MemberMorality Police

On the 16th of September, Mahsa Amini 22 was arrested by the so called morality police in Iran, because some of her hair was showing from beneath her head scarf 

3 days later she died in an Iranian hospital, after been beaten over the head with batons, whilst in morality police custody 

A morality police spokesman denied responsibility, but said they must enforce this religious law because if women do not dress properly, then men could get provoked and harm them, 

Women in Iran, and all over the world are now protesting against her murder, some hacking off their own hair, and refusing to wear head scarves. 

An estimated 185 people women included, have died in Iran since the protests began after Mahsa’s death. 


                                            morality police 

to overestimate her guilt ~ is to underestimate their filth

burnt her wings she can’t fly away ~ now her stumps make angels in the clay

Time

Time is like money
When you waste it, it feels like a burden
But I always seem to overestimate it
And waste it as if I was rich

Those Who Don'T Overestimate Their Worth

Those who don't overestimate their worth,
Will likely take a holiday.

Those who don't overestimate their worth,
Will likely see more mirth.

Those who don't overestimate their worth,
Will not design their own pedestal.

Those who don't overestimate their worth,
Will seek the council of others.

Those who don't overestimate their worth,
Will chose their team wisely.

Those who don't overestimate their worth,
Will not underestimate others.

Those who don't overestimate their worth,
Will see more kindness, understanding, respect and Love.

Those who don't overestimate their worth,
Will not be alone in their old age.

Under the Table

Under any circumstances,
               we do the best ... we provide
               the possible to the impossible ...
              We lend prestige to
               who does not have ... we highlight the mistakes
               we overestimate eventual hits
               Correct systemic failures,
               We grant "status" to those who do not have ...
                All these things, quite discreetly ...
                Non orthodox ways for  facilitating, buying, selling,
                nothing, nothing, nothing ... all in accordance
                with updated interpretations of the acts and
                procedures ... modern teachings of
               political, commercial avant-garde ...!


            PS any similarity is merely coincidence ...

The Whole Picture

We should not accuse all black people
We should not accuse all white people
We should not accuse all those in between the two colors
Of/for all big problems of black or white or those in between
Same perspective to/for countries, states, and governments
Same perspective to/for Buddhist, Christians, Hindus, Muslims or others  
We should not generalize and spread the lies
We should not overestimate nor underestimate 
We writers and speakers should specify the doer/s
Or keep our lips closed, not to add more to it
We had enough!
We should see the whole picture
