Scrambling over each other, trying hard to be heard, interrupting, yelling out, being yourself. We knew how to do this when we were two, and three, and four, but they socialized it out of us. So we grew up un-learning our naturalness, un-learning our playfulness, unlearning our potential. Sure, they say, we are going to help you with...

Rose From the Ranks
R-ose from the ranks, O-vertook as the night fell; S-uccess you did achieve, A-ttaining a higher level.

They boarded ships with guns and tanks To England, the Atlantic crossed. Standing straight in columns and ranks, They’d free...

Breaking Ranks
oh, how they do not like it when you throw in the towel for their side (exhausted by the infernal beating of one’s head against the wall) & you join the adversary--- funny how quickly you can be accepted by those who obviously got their *****together better than the bozos whom you been working with, for the past bit of time--- don’t think for a second...

SADDLED SIINCERITY I have a lot of friends who talk with temerity Some softer souls speak with sincerity There is no need for me to see their face And I can tell which one it is whatever the case Is it the one that tells me she’ll do all that I need? Or will it be the other one who does...

Ranks A day was cold and fogy. I parked, My vehicle and went to the station, When I came back to buy a ticket. My body still shocked how it happened? A lady from the passenger side, Came in and sit, I were shocked, Please leave my vehicle, your choice, You picked a wrong person. Could you listen me please? I am...
