As the years roll over and a new one takes its place. I grow with apprehension of the successes I can make. Because of my age, my life is a shorter span. But I have for some reason much hope.
2025 - will be a year for some, great advantages. And others will still be looking around. I feel in spite of, the World's situation that there will be great progress. Many fear the worst will come upon us, however, I feel free to say that the Almighty won't let it happen to us. There are things yet to come that could end us, but I feel that there is a bountiful Trust that will keep us humans whole.
Love for one another is one, Faith and Faithful expressions for another. Time is against us, but the future is wide open. We who trust will live on. When we look back over time, much of what we know has changed. We are moving forward and not backwards, I believe.
I can't predict the future, but as a human being I feel progress will be made. Things will be for the good above things that are not. So, I am believing with all my heart that life, and not death, will prevail.
LOVE 2025
With our separation in progress,
I feel the need to digress,
And the subject of marriage address,
Before I leave this address.
I think my conclusion sound,
And not out of bound,
With no need to turn around,
When my wife is around.
When one partner becomes a willing slave,
The other half will one day decide it is time to cave,
And do without a slave every time they want to shave,
Or offer to help help clean up the cave,
Or cook a meal by themselves to give their slave time to rave,
As sooner or later the novelty of having a slave,
That is to busy for time to rave,
Will no longer be something they want to brave,
And if someone more equal in the neighborhood,
too decides it is time to be brave?
So, if you think someone is starting to be your slave,
Be brave,
And let your feelings permeate the cave,
Leaving no room for doubt that your marriage you want to save,
And you want them as your equal in the cave,
As sooner or later there will be no room in your life for a slave,
Even a good looking willing slave.
If you are lucky and live long enough,
Have learnt some lessons that are tough,
And spent time in the rough,
Along with your accumulated useless information,
You will start leaking words of wisdom,
worth a mention,
That will change the direction,
Of others for the better of the nation.
Of my latest leak,
I now speak,
And write for you to take a peek.
Sometimes rules of law should be obeyed,
And penalties for them being disobeyed,
Displayed,
If time for discussion needs to be delayed,
When the alternative is a plague that brings,
tempers that are frayed,
And information that is arrayed,
To suit those who see red,
Whenever they are asked to stay in bed,
So the plague will not spread,
And the human race will not wake up dead.
Sometimes leaked words of wisdom,
Will give a hint,
A glint,
When rule of law,
Should be against the law,
Of common sense,
Which will require acts of defiance.
To know when to and when not to obey,
Is something for another day,
As words of wisdom have stopped leaking for today,
you hear plenty of words of wisdom everywhere ~ but they soon vanish
Spoken by those before us to learn by
The words of wisdom
Are for the hopeless and frails
Breath life who believe.

I respect the wise for their wisdom, and in their wisdom you will find respect
Sit with the wise and with the elders, avert all those who are despicable
Accompany those whose acts are righteous and know that it is wise to avoid the ignoble
Do good, for good deeds are saviours, from all the bad you may encounter in life
Stay far away from all that is futile and evil, as far as the East furthers the West
Do not be unjust to people when judging and make sure that your verdict is fair
Do not follow the whims of those who are corrupted, for the path of corruption is ever so dark
Envy is a fire that consumes the body and hatred is as fatal as poison can be
Do not extend your hand to those who are envious or evil, evade those with sickness in their heart
Saleh Ben Saleh
Some words mean something mean
Something else. Does that seem
Sensible to you? When you comprehend
Words well then there you have
Wealth. Is that clear to you?
You must have the knowledge, that
Divisiveness is against the populations
Excellent understanding. Just think
And think again. Think on think long.
I think that is the only solution to
All challenges confronting humanity
Today. Thinking IS the WAY. I think
So. I think I am I exist I am being.
The BEGINNING OF ALL HUMAN
BEINGS. I THINK THEREFORE I AM.
TAI -- Think about it.
I THINK THEREFORE I AM
A world
Is a manifestation of what has been created
Fascinating it is
A song
Is a formation of what the words mean
Interesting as it sounds
A memorandum
Is a stipulation of what has been agreed upon
Intelligent as it is
What would you say?
Life is all about challenges
Obstacles are there to be overcomed
Embrace yourself For disappointments
Respect is all about acceptance
Discrimination is not allowed
Embrace yourself For unspoken words
Love is all about commitment
Trust is there to be earned
Embrace yourself For modification
This sentence is to be continued
A human being
Is an innovation of a creation
Amazing it is
A soul
Is a remembrance of what was created
Unique as it is
A heart
Is a vessel of feelings
Imperative it is
What would you say?

When we fail to appreciate the gift of words,
We act unwisely.
When we fail to appreciate the gift of speech,
We devalue it.
When we fail to appreciate the gift of the written word,
We write it off.
But when we fail to teach others the importance of these gifts,
We fail more than one generation,
And take away,
Their Hope,
Their passion,
Their dignity,
Their sense of joy,
Their sense of achievement,
Their ability to communicate,
Their ability to form relationships,
Their ability to earn,
Their ability to learn,
Their path to wisdom before they end up in an earn.
WORDS OF WISDOM
CAPTIVATING BELL ON A STEEP SLOPE WITHIN AN ISOLATED WORLD GAVE
SOLACE TO THE HERD
AMONG ANGELIC VOICES MESMERIZING CHANTS ALLEVIATE THE FEARS OF
A LOST NOMADIC SHEPERD
SILENCE UPON TRANSCENDENTAL DESCANTS AND ENIGMATIC RHYMES ON
EVERY NOTE PLAYED BEGAN SINGING
THE HEART CONCEDES AS THE ENDURING SPARKS INSIDE LOVE INTONING
WORDS OF WISDOM REVERBERATE A HEALING

Fret and regret
Stall and won't settle
Hide and be always terrified
Stay 'til you go astray
Fake it and have no one to meet
Manipulate and be the subject of hate
Mock and remain stuck
Play safe and your peace will chafe
There's no aftermath without fear
but isn't it merely a trap to interfere?
For fear itself is not the culprit,
it's our hastened choice to quit
Fear only memorizes your shame,
the unchanging timidness is to blame
Fear will often talk about your past injury
It can't walk far away from your history,
it's not privy to the rest of your story
-Nicola An
I write upon the fluttering pages of your mind,
My words of hope to make your spirit soar:
Reveal your inner light and charm,
When dark gloom and grief sow
Seeds of despair, never let them your soul pursue
And grow; pluck them out and away you throw.
I write upon rustling leaves of your thoughts that flow
From the tree of your heart, my words anew
To ease your unease and repose:
When dreadful storms do harm
Your mind's cool ocean, let pearls of peace cast ashore,
And help you smile at warm sunrise behind.
I write upon those empty spaces that I find
In your fragile heart, my words to implore
You to be ever poised and calm:
When endless waves of woes
Try to inundate you, never let them drown you.
Bask in the brightness of your own glint glow.
