She gave her word and I just believed, was the best thing that happened to me, but, before long, on camera I see her sneaking with a man who lives up the street. Probed her for truth, but, oh, she just lie, never had a hint of guilt in her eyes, how can someone feel that justified, even showed her the tape,...

voor CINDY ANSONG Je eten is heerlijk de pittigheid en hartige toevoeging naar de schemering is een aangrijpende kreet een gesloten lengte. Als de nek van een giraf uit de wolken die volledig tevreden is Ik slaakte een geschrokken kreet met een DANKJEWEL. ...

I have known the hollow silence of empty hands, once full of gold, now dust and fading strands. I gave my heart in seasons bright and fair, helping those in need, with love laid bare. But when the coins ran out, the doors grew cold, no pennies left to buy a dream or hold. Help came shackled, wrapped in debt’s tight...

The Dalai Lama, who has earned great respect and admiration, has said that, after his death, he will achieve reincarnation. The school of Mahayana, a Buddhist doctrine, teaches social concern and universal salvation, a revered belief system in his Tibetan nation. The government of China, with its history of prevarication, insists that only it can decide on the Dalai Lama's next manifestation, showing complete disrespect for...

Leadership once stood so tall, But lost her spine along the hall. No knocks, no words, just silent calls— She wiped away the names on walls. Silence sits—a secret scribe, Whispers soft, commands prescribe. No voice to speak, no hand to shake, Just shadows where the echoes break. Respect once tried to find her place, But Ego barred her from the space. He strode in...

"Im not doing this because you told me to Im doing this because I feel sorry for you" No, you don't. You want love. You want acceptance. You're scared it isn't real Scrapes and bare bones wilting in your soul Waiting for your joy to steal No home to call your own The eyes are windows to a world inside You...

Oh lovely lady of ivory hair How your pale skin shimmers in the day How your hazel eyes compliment your smile With teeth as white as pearls And lips of a blushing rose Your walk as even as a calm stream And your voice as sweet as honey Such a shame for a soulless shell She holds such...

I do not rule with iron hand, but with the rhythm of sacred sand— each grain a word, each line a sign, where order breathes and hearts align. Before the lesson dares to start, I plant the law with quiet art: Not carved in stone, but shaped in grace— a whispered guide, a steady place. I walk not tall with voice raised high, but...

I left because my body broke, And weighed with grief, my spirit spoke. I told you oft, I made things clear, Yet pressure came—not care, but fear. No shame I bear for what I owe, I acted true, as you well know. The key I left, the money too— What’s lost beyond, I never knew. I paused before I took my leave, Awaiting peace...

Don’t see only our disabilit-ease, Don’t deny us basic facilit-ease, Don’t ignore our many abilit-ease, Don’t compound our varied difficult-ease, Deal head-on with the harsh realit-ease. You never know what life has in store, You may fall one day and rise no more, You may join our ranks, afraid, unsure, You may write words to plead; implore. We are not an alien race, We...

One day a year to mark a sacrifice profound One day a year to visit the ground One day a year for the bugle to sound One day a year a nation’s memory is found Hardly enough for the terrible cost Hardly enough for the lives that were lost One day a year for the flags to adorn One day a year...

To the man who stood so tall, Who picked me up with every fall. In life’s loud storm or silent pain, You stood like shelter in the rain. When nights were long, and hopes ran low, You still believed and let it show. You taught me how to fight, to stand, To build my dreams with steady hand. Behind your silence was endless...

he’s got a face like a rotted pear, eyes yellow as the bottom of a cheap pint glass. his hands move like old leather belts— cracked, heavy, well-worn. he counts the minutes like coins dropped in a greasy pocket— clinks them together— a smile as sour as sweat on a Monday morning. he watches me, one boot on the scaffold’s edge, smoke curling from his...
