I'm always told that what I say is controversial. Why is it controversial? Because I speak from a tradition that has now fallen out of favor with the dominant media in this country. And so when I say things like marriage should be between one man and one woman, I'm called a bigot.

Why it hurts so
The world is a controversial place,
We don’t mean what we say.
Does yes really mean yes;
Are words just barbaric plays?
We create exquisite phrases
That inspires us, warms us within.
But it seems this hope is just fleeting;
And soon to collapse, all demolished.
We tell our young fairy stories,
Grotesque for real they might be.
But in life there are no fairy tales—
Stories are not modified for you and me.
The world is a controversial place,
Especially here, in the human world.
Sympathy is only practiced limitedly,
While self-intrest is our main goal.
The world is a controversial place,
It applies just too right for me.
“For Dreams, we live, ” This was my motto.
But now,
It shatters me.
Sense data are much more controversial than qualia, because they are associated with a controversial theory of perception - that one perceives the world by perceiving one's sense-data, or something like that.

Veil Debate
From a veiled point of view:
*Because I love my love
I want him and only him
To see the beauty of my beauty
*Because I love my God
I fear his anger
And do my best
To obey His word
/It is controversial
And if it is controversial
Take the safe side
/Either/
/Or/
F rom an unveiled point of view:
*Simplify
Especially
When you are not really disobeying Him
Because He wants us
To live
An easy and simple life
His Mercy overwhelmed His Anger
/One has to choose
/And it is not an easy choice!

Being Pro-Active
You know...
They are saying some derogatory things,
About you.
And a lot of it is vicious to attack your character.
'Is it nasty and controversial? '
Yes.
'Does it demean with motive and intent?
With a giving to me an attention?
Yes.
'Great.
There was a time when I thought I lost my touch.'
So...
You know about this?
'Of course I do.'
But...
I doubt if they are aware of it.
'And that's what I find intriguing.
Do me a favor? '
Sure.
What?
'Here is a list of more ridiculous nonsense.
Make copies for me and spread them around.'
So...
You are behind this?
'Sssshhh...
I don't want anyone to accuse me of being pro-active!
You should try it.
Not only is it motivational.
But it is inspiring as well.'

Oooo...Oooo-Oooo Wee Ow-ouch!
'I'm more dominant and not the weak one.
More dominant and not the weak one.
I'm more dominant and not the weak one.
More dominant and not the weak one.'
Oooo...
Oooo-Oooo wee ow-ouch!
'More dominant and not the weak one.
I'm more dominant and not the weak one.'
Oooo...

She says I'm on a pacifier.
Unreliable with too many needs.
She says I'm heat under the sheets...
But she's the one who buys the food we eat.
She says I'm not dependable at all.
And by herself she does the best she can alone,
To make all ends meet!
When bill collectors call.
And,
She's more dominant and not the weak one.
More dominant and not the weak one.
Oooo...
Oooo-Oooo wee ow-ouch.
More dominant and not the weak one?
More dominant and not the weak one?
Submissive when she comes to the bed.
Prepared to get her needs met!
And I am ever ready.
I've lost my job and the kids are fed.
I do the best I can...
But I'm not making the bread.
And my ego's thinly spread.
When the work I've done is meager.
And the words I hear from her...
Are wrestling in my head.
'I'm more dominant and not the weak one.
More dominant and not the weak one.'
OW!
'...dominant and not the weak one.
More dominant and not the weak one.'
OW!
'...dominant and not the weak one.
More dominant and not the weak one.'
And if I leave my family...
I'll lose my life instead.
'I'm more dominant and not the weak one.
More dominant and not the weak one.'
OW!
'...dominant and not the weak one.
More dominant and not the weak one.'
OW!
'...dominant and not the weak one.
More dominant and not the weak one.'
Oooo...
Oooo-Oooo wee ow-ouch.

She Had Been Nice
Of course she was loved,
By those who delighted in her leadership.
She did nothing controversial.
Or incited conflict.
And she was stylish wherever she went.
Publicly she was always pleasant.
And in a calm voice she always spoke.
But when she left office and the government in shambles...
Everyone knew her guidance was a joke.
She wasn't about disturbances.
How,
Under someone's watch...
Can billions of crumbs,
Be left as a deficit to sit on an exposed table...
Without a cleaning of it ordered to be done.
Of course she was loved,
By those who delighted in her leadership.
She did nothing controversial.
Or incited conflict.
She had been nice!
And people liked it.
Although with smiles,
Their quality of lifestyles...
Has diminished drastically.
And for some not to be in existence.
But she was 'nice'.
And people liked it!
'Where is she now? '
~She has mysteriously decided,
To spend more time with her family.
Just before the storm began.~
