Being A Man

If being a man requires
Hitting and cheating a woman
I choose to be
A woman

If being a man requires
Not to do household chores
I choose to be
A woman

If being a man requires
Not protecting family
I choose to be
A woman

If being a woman requires
Loving a man
Then I choose to learn to be
A man rather than
A woman

An act of poetry

Ruin is what we need –
Despair is what we feed
Upon in poetry

A shock resets the nerves –
Helps remould the curves
Of written art

Catharsis helps portray –
Acting out a play
On expurgation

Tears or hidden fears
Release the bottled years
To ink a page:

The pen be our salvation.

Anyone can negatively criticize - it is the cheapest of all comment because it requires not a modicum of the effort that suggestion requires.

Carlos Castaneda

Malicious acts are performed by people for personal gain … Sorcerers, though, have an ulterior purpose for their acts, which has nothing to do with personal gain. The fact that they enjoy their acts does not count as gain. Rather, it is a condition of their character. The average man acts only if there is a chance for profit. Warriors say they act not for profit but for the spirit.

Be more than a pet

In love with my pet, I did many acts,
Sensing that it liked each of my acts.
It was not to condemn but ready to amend,
When it disapproved of any of my acts,
For it knows my pulse and throbs.
As I hold you, dear, as more than a pet
Can you ditch me for any shortfall?
Is not it a fault of your closed mindedness?

Be superior to, and kinder than, a pet.

Idle in June

She dares not let the world hear her speak,
She's getting thin and looking meek,
A grey hair is splitting in her widows peak
She lays idle in the month of June.

Her hands are cracked and stained from mud,
although she bathes in lathered suds
There's a little of me inside her blood
She lays idle in the month of June 

She carries child at her old age,
She's stuck inside her fleshy cage,
Her father birthed her insidious rage
She lays idle in the month of June.

They locked her in a cell up high,
The crime of seeking suicide
Some women they are born only to die,
She lays idle in the month of June.

One day, I know, I'll see her soon,
How I loathe the month of June,
We'll met again come the next new moon,  
I won't forget her, idle in the month of June.

What Are The Requirements Of Democracy?

What are
the requirements
of democracy

in an ennobled
modern society
incorporating

principles
of uncompromising
absolute justice

to light the way?


Democracy requires
accountability
democracy requires
transparency

especially
when extraordinary
steps are taken.

Above all else
democracy requires
compliance with
the rule of law.


Law both domestic
and foreign especially
to achieve maintain
international credibility.

Compliance is impossible
when an extraordinary
despicable technique
such as torture operates
outside of rule the law.

To preach the Gospel requires that the preacher should believe that he is sent to those whom he is addressing at the moment, because God has among them those whom He is at the moment calling; it requires that the speaker should expect a response.
