Capitalism. It is what it is;
Accurate and efficient ...
Pity that humans
egoistically little understand it ...
Connivance can be pusilamine,
But it's not a sign of weakness ...
It is an option for the strongest!
In politics, it is not used
Just good for the good ...
Not even evil for evil ...
Everything can be reversed,
It depends on the support you have ...!
In politics you live for her,
or if you live it ...
Usually the two
practices are confused ...
Sometimes everything we need,
It's a right word, at the right time
To then realize the act ...!

Modesty antedates clothes and will be resumed when clothes are no more. (Mark Twain)
When Adam donned his fig leaf
Was a sense of decency assumed.
When sons of Adam
Again find it cute
To be comfortable
In their birthday suit
Will simple modesty be resumed.

The idea I know is your own;
She’s your soul, and she’s your own,
But she dwells now in a different hall
Wearing willfully a different form.
Mind! you still own your dear soul;
Place, year of birth and your name
Visibly will hail you in the hall
My words and structure shall form.
If I feel too ghostly is your soul,
She should sit outside of my hall
And guards will attend to her call,
And passers-by know she’s your soul.

The following is me paraphrasing,
John Nash,
one of the most brilliant, amazing,
Nobel Prize winning mathematicians;
"My whole life has been numbers of varied equations,
searching for answers to problems and their solutions,
and in summation I have come to this ultimate conclusion,
It Is Only Through The Equation Of Love
That Truly Gives Our Lives Any Meaning,
whether that love be for someone or for some thing."

"In order for one to conquer a nation,
one must first disarm the nation's citizens."

..and that's the true reason for our second amendment.
It was established to prevent the over throw of our government,
by they elected who do not The People truly represent,
be they any of the many elected, appointed or hired public servants
including and not limited to our government's elected or appointed president.
Disarming Our Nation
Will Be Our Ultimate Damnation.
It would be way to much of an accessible temptation
for the powers that be
who pursue power with greed
for ultimately world domination,
and if you believe that such a thing is a far fetched ridiculous notion,
well that's exactly how the powers that be want you to continue thinking.
...in the meantime I say, "Leave Alone My 2nd Amendment!"

"Whatever course you decide upon
there will always be someone to tell you that you're wrong.
There will always be difficulties arising which
will tempt you to believe that your critics are correct.
To map out a course of action and follow it to an end
requires a great deal of courage my friend."

"I was convinced that there were bombs planted all over the place.
Everywhere there were going off explosions
as if someone was sitting at a control panel base
and pushing detonator buttons.
There was another explosion,
and then another one.
I didn't know which way to run."
- Teresa Veliz, working on the 47th floor of the North Tower on 09/11.

We have flown the air like birds
and have swum the seas like fishes,
but have yet to learn the simple act of
walking this earth as brothers and sisters.
