Any poem involves three people: 1) the person who wrote it, 2) the person who speaks it, and 3) the person who reads it. To confuse the first person with the second person is to guarantee the poem won't be successful, which is why so few successful poems are being written today. The poet's goal instead should be to bring the second and third persons as close together as possible.

I'm not interested in poems that try to make me understand the person who wrote them, I want poems that make me understand myself.

I have tried to stop writing for a week or two...and then the ink filled syringe is in my hand...trembling out new text despite my protesting.

Those with the least to protect have the biggest dogs.

Faith can protect us, feed us, give us a sense of security...but, those with deep faith, are also willing to serve in the desert, so to speak...if the situation calls for it -- be willing to go to the cross. Faith is a contract with Love.

Fair trials are not merely procedural formalities; they are vital safeguards of justice. Protect them with the same unwavering vigilance with which we defend the very rights they are designed to preserve

"Good company uplifts your whole being, so surround yourself with those who see your light. Have compassion for toxic people, but protect your energy and prioritize relationships that empower both parties. You teach others how to treat you by what you tolerate, so set boundaries and choose wisely. By letting go of draining connections, you make room for fulfilling bonds that align with your highest self."

Love him or hate him, if you value life and protect it, then it is a clear sign of love to me.

Freedom is the best thing one can ever have, value it, protect it, and fight for it with all you have.

The one who wrote, Truth is self-evident, was correct...profoundly in touch with spiritual Truth. I have said this before, but I will say it again, if I have to convince myself, as to whether something is right or wrong, go though a litany of gymnastic thought -- it is probably wrong! Truth doesn't require knowledge...it does not require proving -- it is like God's presence -- we just know...and that fact is unshakable, regardless of the profound consequences.

"Humanity is the only true faith - all scriptures whisper this."
"Skin-deep equality fools. Soul-deep equality liberates."

"Protest selflessly. Self-interested rebels become tomorrow's tyrants."
"God dwells not in hollow religiosity but in our conscience - His true throne."

No institution can exist that purportedly upholds the rule of law by breaking it. No institution that has become the prime offender of citizens rights can claim to protect them. Experience has shown that governments are not immune to corruption and therefore are bound by necessity, when required, to reformation. Prudence dictates corruption abrogates the ability for self correction and so remedy must be accomplished through external means.

In the vast tapestry of nature, every thread is a life, every life a story. To cherish and protect both the web and the weaver is to honor the true interconnectedness of all beings.

“Grace comes minuscule
in moon shades or
pale protea nectar”

People wrote me wrong in so many phases; now pains from different places in so many ways.

Look up to see that the Lord is ever smiling and bestowing all his blessings merrily like the most protective parent............... It is just for us to realise and rise to the expectations and hope that s/he keeps in us.

If I asked “what makes a man a man?” Excluding service to others and functions (provide, protect, lead, etc.) what would your answer be?

Protection is the veil

Disrespect is the sum total of how a person rates you, a true reflection of their perception of who you are. So no matter how flimsy or insignificant disrespect is, I will not tolerate it. I respect people regardless of age, gender or status and I expect nothing less in return. Once I perceive any iota of disrespect I will respectfully remove myself from the scene to protect my emotional health and preserve my self esteem

Life-fruit falling prematurely...if to ripen, whether animal or vegetable, we need protect from all foul elements. Especially those that only mimic humanity.

Don’t disrespect the ones your supposed to love and protect

the raptors glide mercilessly.
