It is measured by one thing only:

The quantity of his compassion

Towards the needy and the lonely!

the curve

I’ll share
my own
convexity,
each,
my blue

left, 
quality,
quantity,
inverted worlds....

By: Miracle Man

I am not a wheel or ball
But if you toss me, I may roll.
A thousand layers I posses
With core of colored cardboard crest.
My purpose is to cleanse the filth,
My value shan't solicit wealth,
My quantity is well dispersed,
My absence nearly always cursed.
What am I?...

When I started throwing some, 
I felt, as though my heart numb;
Weren't they things I got as gifts?
Didn't I save them midst rifts?

Needs, in quantity, get shrunk; 
That the generations come,  
Could feel truly safety-thrum...!

Every morning my first chore
is to flush what I ate the night before. 
But here’s a fact that worries me: 
why is it always more in quantity
than all the food piled on my plate?

with a queasy feeling and dark mood –
Of all I ate how much was really food?...

It's the spirit of giving,
It does not depend,
On the quantity,
It  proliferates,
With the love for altruism,
Five loaves of bread,
And two fish
Were found to ,
More than sufficient for ,
Five thousand,
God's grace is amazing,
The example propelled,
Electrifying humanism,
And the world gives !!!....

I want to envelope you 
Just like you captivate me 
... I want to be all over you 
I want to be your sweet smelling sensation 
I want to be the pleasant smell you wear, confidently 
I want to be lushly on you,  just like your daily  smile 
I want to be sprayed all over you...
Just in the right quantity...

You have very firm convictions;
So, stand strong behind them.
Quality rather than quantity will matter.
You have very firm convictions.
Care not for the van and foolish chatter.
Do a good job tomorrow.
You have very firm convictions;
So, stand strong behind them.

When I open a word book I am amazed.
There are zillions of words I have never heard.
I make lists of them, determined to use a few.
But more often I fall back on my regular words.
My abilities as a word player have nothing to do 
with the quantity of my known words.
For I am a failure in that department
yet I do okay....

Widder Woman

hate boxes and neat little slots
pigeon holes burn my behind
all those safe-making creations 
that pacify the peeps. 

stuff an unknown quantity
into a bag of mundane
catch me first.

will I be and 
as soon as my sciatica clears up
I streak the whole damn street....
