Premium Member Choose not to stumble


There are words spoken , to be commenced
It is never good in situations to be silenced
A wrongful demand from another steals rest
Yet other times in life, silence is best
Words of truth are to be forever honored
Even coming from any path that is wandered
This is when the choice made is pertinent
knowing there are people who won't repent
These choices can change a moment or life
They can calm chaos or ignite strife
In time with practice, it is learned
How to bring good things or to be burned
When the sun shines or the thunder rumbles,
Remember this choice to prevent stumbles

Cadre, Clamber

Cadre, thou art quincurion.
Five pointed star says sight, scion.
One in the center, mighty strong.
Four on the sides to greet the throng.

Clamber right o'er that wall, burglar.
Prize in thy eyes, shoot past the par.
Combination lock, face of safe.
O machine gunner, time to strafe.

Quinnat, move thy force in quinnet? 
Pincer formation wins the bet.
However, salmon, wedge has wings. 
Beware the spinneret. It stings.

Coalacanth, in the glassy lake.
Life is a rogue with thirst to slake?
Turmoil and trial? Fresh ocean blue?
Red rabbit, river, run straight through.

Quoddity, haunt the quadlibet?
Placard, plinth alabaster. Yet:
Relevance, where do you stake claim?
Pertinent, prosper. Fling, O flame.

Entelechy, thy entalpy.
Reason, heat up and sing in me!
Tangle, my thought-spark! Lightning falls!
Blistering broadsides by the balls!

Salve of diviner, vision weird.
Cel animation leered and jeered.
Alien skies and faces strange.
Jagged pulsation, range the change.

Electric shock, fire furious eyes.
Bring back the bolt that fastest flies.
Whirlpool, hum and whir. Broken bow.
Whippoorwill, swallow, undertow.

Premium Member It came from where '

It came from where its going' thats all i can explain, just as water vapour, un-pours up to the sky again.'no pause to
Understand creation ever will suffice.' To
Know and grow, is pertinent all human movements condensed in a trice.' You buy
Whats not yours, we speak of us.' We gather disperse, as a cosmic dust, we'll only take a minute, that our hands can't hold, we progress then regress as we wear into old, much we desire, much we loose
Much we'll never have, we can judge and choose, we unlike water will run up a hill'
We are the constant, contradictive we 
leave behind wills.' That notify officialdom, about some material weatlth
So they can siphon of assets, 
from perhaps? Some carefully stacked shelf.' Yet all is dissolving, all is meant to pass
Many argue on some details, while the devil rarely laughs' all his concern is on
Stealing, your soul once you have 
passed.' And you have
 played to each; and every goal.'


Then and Now

I must have regressed with time
or you have gotten better
near perfect the perception 
a prescription for the pertinent 
and persistent pain

We are not alone
even though so far from home 
the fires burn from an eruption of time 
and I did my time
cascading thru a calculating mind
adding up whatever money we could find
to pay the toll or toil I am told

my feet to your fires and I'm ash
painted crosses upon our backs
as the front of the summer heat
reaches our need
and I need
more than just the sum of tomorrow 
but of all eternity 
no matter how bright it may be

Reflections to March 2026

Processor isn't bot
Because it isn't program
What programs
Had you thought
Complexities aren't moron

By means you ought to judge 
And metaphors employing
Where pertinent
Applies
Mind exercise enjoying

Implies you purpose have
Expected the solutions
But for the problem which
Wrong strategies indutions 

Inventing weird words
Describing with wrong terms
For fun
And memory ain't only RAM

Says SRAM

Expensive memory of main processor 
For entropy to solve
You shouldn't be recessor
The value shall asass you are
And difficult it is 

If tired you of war 
But function of the war 
Yet isn't solved
There can't be peac4e

Thus saying good the stress and bad the stress
Perhaps the world exists beyond the thats
Feng Shui internal of the systems those
The idiotic omnichannel
For your fire 
Hose

Thanks but the the way you problem solve 
Is wrong

The network is between the sides 
On table of 
Ping Pong


 Camp David
Independent money for finance
And revenue

And spending on Defense

Premium Member Open wide eyes


Painful times can clarify pertinent things
With a painful time, lessons it brings
It's the way life goes....
through all that it throws

Can you still see the bright sun shine?
During heaviness when things aren't fine?
One step leads to the next sight,
that you're willing to see during day or night

No, dont hide, don't close your eyes
Open them wide, to the light across the skies
Maybe feelings are defied...
But eventually, the truth cannot be denied

Premium Member Powerful People '

Who has the power.? Those who will apply power, gain more power.' And begin to
Appreciate how to exersize the power so
Far realised.' Reach out for power to
 achieve
A full release.' Of files anywhere that have
Abusive content..Also there are records that are not in government files.' If anyone
Has such and witnesses, copy the photos
And other evidence, and share multiple of these among your group, and conduct a mass release to alternative media sources
Followed by mainstream outfits and pertinent law firms asking for their appraisal..Smash through the suffocation
Maybe.? awaken the powerful masses of
People ( who must realise they can use their voice ) and multiply their power and
Reach.)

LIMERICK OF THE FAKE ALCHEMISTS


        
Russia and the USA different flags on the head
Presidents in pertinent modes thus dreaded 
They are arrogant, but they are Brave weepers
They pose as heroes but they are only sleepers
They were never sane... they are just demented!

Froge

Froge lives in swamp
In pond
In forest
He might be poisonous as well
Froge rhymes with Hodge
And that’s our point 

Froge likes the insect
That's his dinner 

Froge our friend
We main’t interfere here


Fromage does age
As ages soul comprehending
Enertal values

That we yet to figure
Differenciating

That wear is the term
That differs us from this

While sense and point ages
While remaining young

However and mature cheese and wine
Become with time
While life experiences teach us

Respect and trust we learn
The way that isn’t simple
But the complexity its Judgement
Not so hard

And Physical characteristics
Differ either
And where pertinent
There solutions do emerge
In way that is harmonic

In a sense

This term conveys
The real meaning


You lost this inning

Premium Member Starlight Eyes

.
viewing life 
     through    the    fingers 
          of a facepalm  

an unhealthy 
     obsession 
to broaden the mind
     with the
          help from social media
jumbled up in jargon
     no more useful than a Word of the Day:
     excire:  (n) meaning exhilaration and desire
—or—
whenever …   

bombarded with unrelated 
          f.a.c.t.s
as pertinent as
     school level algebra 
          the mind’s  ‘nothing box’ 
teaming with possibilities
	inexpressible
        visions dancing to an inaudible jukebox
a child’s 
          toy 
                kaleidoscope

               charting the stars 
given way to ‘Stars Foretell’  
   how we should feel 
   and think

          nowadays 

     by naming the planets
          the stardust
the very essence of existence 
     we escape categorisation

life views back at me
	through the cosmic lens
              of perceptions:

starlight eyes
of
hope
     shines …

GIVE PAUSE

GIVE PAUSE

All breaks come due
Every filled gorged hour
In just known little moments
Never one pertinent question
Raising some tension, usually vocally
When x-raying your zip

Premium Member How -WE- Won The West

Created this for a blog, but I am unncertain as there's an absence of accountabilty that would assure me of the values that I've delineated, has been ascertained.

I've effected a furtherance exposing other pertinent facts that solidfy this word: Equivocal, having a basic compound valued word, thusly, have more than one meaning.

That became the manna from Heaven, taught to us by those missionaries being one of those subclasses, became a breather/a cutting edge, for the Hawaiian language to accommodate the variable classes besides those missionaries.

Their were whalers who were infamous users of their catch-phrases, Chinese broken-English, a nine-year-old-English, and it goes on. 

"How do you say , Hello"--Aloha, "Goodbye"--Aloha, "I love you"--Aloha, "To that guy"--Aloha, "And that girl"--Aloha, "So their sex don't matter"--Oh sex, much Aloha. 

Levity, but it does point a true beneficial factor. Chaos needed a directive, simplify matters by conquering their language and dividing it. This was part of my theoretical thesis for my psychology class exam at the Uni.
