Playing With Poetry

I know there's a spark of God within me,
but it doesn't feel right to pray to that.
Seeped, I am,  in  cultural beliefs.
It will always be
Our Father, which art in Heaven.

just me

What is the difference,
historical or cultural,
naturally experienced or spiritually souled,
between economic capitalism
and political patriarchalism?

Cultural Norm

There are current trends that the youngsters 
are quick to follow or adopt. 
People imitate what's "in" 
when it comes to fashion, 
hobbies, expressions, 
and patterns that 
go against 
the Lord's 
laws.

Premium Member Belly Dancer

chiffon scarves whirling
tiny bells tingling
belly dancer jiggling
her arms and legs spraying and flaying
her veil concealing her loveliness
we watched in fascination
a cultural whirlwind
enticing us all to be better women

A Sleepless Night Reply

Drowning in your philosophy
Clearly- you see through my eyes
Comfort me with truth and
Laugh when I tell lies.
I come to you for knowledge-
'Multi cultural' I like to be
A sleepless night for you?
Two sleepless nights for me.
