To be meek, patient, tactful, modest, honorable, brave, is not to be either manly or womanly; it is to be humane.

Please Keep The Pain
please keep the pain
do not attempt to throw pain away
please be patient
do not scream do not tell the neighbors
do not shame pain by running wildly on the streets
screaming about your pain
please do not create a scandal for this
honorable family in pain
please keep the pain for a while and be honorable
there is decency in pain
keep this pain with a clean face on a smooth disposition
let your arms lay there
appease the pain
as though pain is a baby that you want to put to sleep
soon it will go
nothing is permanent in this world
nothing will last forever
the pain may not subside but soon it will have its right time
it decides to go by itself
there is no choice
we will have this pain too
our pains in silence
because we are honorable too
you will never know
we will never tell you we are decently in pain too
we are honorable
we do not make presumptions that we will survive
but we will
these pains that make us decent and honorable
our faces will not show these pains
we will not even tell
we just keep them without complaining
we are decent we are honorable
we are the survivors

Give up the belief that mind is, even temporarily, compressed within the skull, and you will quickly become more manly or womanly. You will understand yourself and your Maker better than before.

Some persons have lived manly or womanly lives, and they lack but one thing - open confession of the Lord Jesus Christ. Some men think that they must come to him in a certain way - that they must be stirred by emotion or something like that.

It is fatal to be a man or woman pure and simple: one must be a woman manly, or a man womanly.

To be womanly is one thing, and one only; it is to be sensitive to man, to be highly endowed with the sex instinct; to be manly is to be sensitive to woman.

I said I thought female labour of the sort exacted from these slaves, and corporal chastisement such as they endure, must be abhorrent to any manly or humane man.

Man to be a man to women
A manly man is erotic
in stimulating a woman.
He takes her to heaven.
A womanly man is erotic
in being stimulated by a woman.
She sends him to heaven.

Which Side Are You On
Which Side Are You On
Why do we think one victim
suffers more than the other
one deserves more sympathy
than the other
What guides us to identify more
with one and not the other
rhetoric that plays on emotions
twangs heart strings in one country
Falls on deaf ears else where
the same terrorist is judged
as patriot and martyr
A criminal act becomes moral
why do we equate a suicide terrorist
with terminaing the controllers
in fact why do we equate one act
Of violence with another
aren't they all honorable deeds
for honorable humane causes
strange the case of preferences
Strum the chords of sympathy
strut the stage in limelight
blind the viewer and voyuer
from weighing the causes and reasons
Devoid the emotions
free from hate and revenge
quit the game of equating one cruel deed with another
saying one violent murder
is more horrendous than the other

Honorable retreats are no ways inferior to brave charges, as having less fortune, more of discipline, and as much valor.

Fire and Ice! ! !
I got the inspiration for this poem from a quote called 'Fire and Ice.'
This world will eventually come to an end.
But will we get to choose how it does?
What would you choose?
Fire or Ice?
Fire would burn everything.
It would be a fast death.
It would wipe out the whole world.
But would it be more humane than Ice?
Ice would slowly kill every living thing; Human or Plant.
Ice would chill everything to the very centre of their core.
Ice would take a while to wipe out this civilisation.
But is this more humane than Fire?
Neither would be humane;
But what would you rather?
Fire or Ice?

Brave Little Soldier
Im a brave little soldier
I must be bold and strong
A brave little soldier
And I must carry on
Im a brave little soldier
A brave little soldier
Im a brave little soldier
I must fight, I must win
Im a brave little soldier
Through hell and back again
Im a brave little soldier
A brave little soldier
Per rum, pum, pum
Per rum, pum, pum
Per rum, pum, pum, pum, pum
Ye though I am marching through the valley filled with fear
My steps are sure and sturdy and my aim is straight and clear
The enemy is stalking me just waiting for the kill
Like david slewed galiath
I will claim this battle field
Im a brave little soldier
I must do what I can
Im a brave little soldier
And I must take a stand
Im a brave little soldier
A brave little soldier
Marching, marching onward
Searching out the light of truth
I did not start the war
But its a battle I cant lose
Faith will be my armor
And love my sword and shield
I must defeat the enemy
I will, I will, I will
A brave little soldier
I must be bold and strong
A brave little soldier
And I must carry on
A brave little soldier
A brave little soldier
Im a brave little soldier
A brave little soldier
Brave, little soldier

To many a man, and sometimes to a youth, there comes the opportunity to choose between honorable competence and tainted wealth. The young man who starts out to be poor and honorable, holds in his hand one of the strongest elements of success.

x Pygmalion
White as alabaster, delicate as a snow lily
Womanly hips almost too perfect
Smile of life so gentle, so loving
He gazed at her with awe, with respect
She belonged to him, he had sculpted her
With his manly hands bare
He wished to breathe life into her deep eyes
Birth a maiden rare
He longed for her, for her musical voice
To solve mysteries of the earth
But held back with godly restraint
Human after all, he wasn’t ready for an angelic birth

Humane
is a
mystery or magic
going to happen here
to unveil
the HUMANE
from human
a lovely
flower from bud
to receive the
good morn kiss
the sun's
tender hands
opens the
bud to flower
no mystery
no magic
just a
daily fare
human to HUMANE
too...
a natural daily fare
in that gathering
of HUMANE humans
in its glow and shine
the sun will be put to shame

The beauty is defined
What we have not
Is what we long for
And wherein we find
What we long for
Is what we see as beauty.
The dark to the white,
the slim to the plump,
The bold to the meek,
The lecherous to the modest
Bear better appeal.
No one goes without pairs;
No virgin dies in despair.
