Tuff love he provides
No harm to a child he cries
Self-sufficiency he teaches
Compassion not lacking, just hidden
Success is their forward contribution
Tuff love they provide

uniformity
To be self-sufficient is an admirable trait
Not needing to depend on anyone is great
Being able to set one’s own course each day
Free to express opinions, to have one’s say
In my way of thinking opens heaven’s gate.

Listen to poem:
On the hills is a forest of windmills.
A chimera mirage of
shrill, garish pinwheels,
Wailing an endless lament
to the tragedy of the commons.
They spin a yarn of the
collapse of self-sufficiency
and starved frugality,
that yearned to curb our needs.
It's already too late,
or almost too late to ever succeed
in providing for the commons.
see myself doing it
see myself living it
see myself going down that path
see myself heading towards that direction
step in right direction
step in new direction
change is needed
change is desired
internally motivated shift
in thought process
internally motivated change
in direction
self-sufficiency is key
self-accomplishment is goal
towards creation of self-betterment
Listen to poem:
In the deepest darkest sea,
where sunlight is non-existent,
the deep-sea angler fish lures its prey
with a bio-luminescent bait
made by its symbiotic bacterial mate.
Deprived of light from above
it emulates the mighty giant sun,
teaching it a thing or two
about self-existence
and self-sufficiency.
A tiny micro-star
shines so bright in the cold
deep, dark, dank depths
with insistent, incessant,
self-existent and confounding,
bio-luminescence.
