Only to be a few
left out for grabs
a certain sense of dignity
a time in latitude
miles along the way
days as it states.

among fallen leaves and hopes
to regain my peace,

amidst the impending storms
to find dignity, and you.

      Many remark as serene
        Hides painful fears
     Thus  blink away my tears

It just might occasion a frown.

Dog looks at the camera
Embarrassed

What it would like to do
Is to kill the bloody mog.

Pucker Up

I'd like to say that I'm the best,
and tell the others "Kiss my test',"
but dignity applies,
and not-so-subtle lies...
Head to toe - they can "Kiss the rest."

If you want to feel rich 
Try to have the things 
That cannot be bought with money
Like sincerity, dignity 
Respect, humanity, simplicity 
Kindness and love.

Premium Member What Doesn'T Kill You Makes You Stronger

I never saw it coming
I would have done anything for you
You blindsided me
Hurt and violated me
Stripped me of my dignity
I trusted you

     Humane?
     You pen with shame!
     Selling your dignity?
     Tell me, why trash your only voice?
     No, thanks!

Silent Desire In My Heart

And dignity......

where religion matters personally
and  humanity, socially
Service to mankind only dharma
Uplifting poors , only karma.

Silent desire in my heart..

Dignity

respect, 
                    mutual acceptance,
      differences, strengths, weaknesses,
                  blind eyes see these,

Smoke bellows from a chimney,
Raping the innocent sky of its dignity,
Needlessly denying helpless animals,
Of their precious gift of life,
With no sense of shame or pity,
