we accept it blindly, no questions asked.
Yet every time we give something away
there is almost always strings attached.

Sacrifices fundamental activities for education.
Clouds enclosed in mentality.
Home of the learned.
Occupation of those who can't do.
Opposition of modern history.
Life of the ludicrous.

Reconciling with our own age

And accepting our mortality

Are two things that facilitate life

And help built positive mentality

Valiantly Driving Vehicle

Once was valiantly driving my vehicle
Ran into a problem ending up in a pickle;
Lane shift or change;
Mentality derange;
Have been happier riding my bicycle.

Audacity

Brutality is Reality
Making your life a Fatality
Morality determines Mentality
Unrelenting Insanity
Vitality is a drive from Urbanity
Inanity perpetuates Profanity
Mundanity a fake posh Formality
Humanity is Volcanity

Balassi Stanza-A Changed Mentality

Today gals make passes,
guys happily raise glasses
with a changed mentality.
It was the man who asked
for a date...as she waited
silently and patiently.
Men sitting at the bar,
get drinks from a stranger...
the one who smiles too friendly?

Premium Member Life and Death

LIFE AND DEATH

The idea of death
The reality of death
Though close
In youth the two seem poles apart
Yet, as one gets older
As spirit slowly leaves the body
That husk – with lingering now mentality –
Reluctantly finds self uncomfortably squeezed 
Between the two

Premium Member Blame Game

With a mentality as cold as an
          Up high,
          Sky spy,
          Fly by,
          Watch die,
          Vulture ...

I just cannot abide 
          This blame,
          Then claim,
          No shame,
          Blame game,

Imperialism

Someone tells people what they should be
And they nod without hesitation 
Slaves of alien mentality 
Like the crave for fad and fashion 

The sphere of modern imperialism 
Is far reaching to invade human mind
Chauvinism, ethnocentrism 
Puppets played from behind

Garrison Mentality

Is my soul housed
in walls of flesh, 
and my flesh, prisoner
of nature?

Where is the garrison?

I, myself am prison,
not of walls, 
but words;
to speak,
to ration,
to segregate,
is division, 
choking unity
from man,
the beast.

Alone in the New-World.

Crustacean Mentality

For every glow of your shine, there will always be others who try to extinguish your flame than to learn how to glow on their own.  

Considering all resources that they spent trying to extinguish your fire, they would have shone already if they only chose to try on their own.

Offensive State

offensive swings
in mood advancing 
attacking positive 
movement forwards
in a constant 
combative state
within this 
quarrelsome 
battle field 
which exists 
within this 
intrusive mentality 
brought up from the past 
into the present killing 
future movement forwards

Sorry To Bother You

First world culture, Fourth Generation Rights
Travel and you must adjust: to avoid fights
And delays in "customer care," we declare:
"Sorry to bother you; I need my wages." Beware:
The first world mentality: "Do not grovel." We all do -
Some are commonplace, others disguise as culture
