Mirror
Who is that person,
that keeps staring at me,
whenever I go to look,
in a mirror?
I don't know her,
for who she's become,
I only know her,
for who she was.
She was so kind,
and thoughtful before,
but now she hides,
within the deeps shadows.
She's not who I thought,
she would become,
if anything she's,
the exact opposite.
She has thoughts,
and does things,
that she knows she shouldn't.
But it seems as though,
she really doesn't care,
about me who just stands,
seeing all she's done.
She doesn't care,
that's really it,
she has not a,
care in the world.

The Value of Rubies
Virtuous woman
Valued beyond rubies
Till time and wear
and truth and tear
steals the light
Better for value are you
women of ill repute
in dimly lit
alleys and taverns
Who, when paid:
Tells you they love you
When you know they don't
Tells you to trust them
When you know you can't
Tells you this matters
When you know it doesn't
Though who tells you
they stay
by the hour
till time is up
and do
and you sit in bed
smoking
watching
her ass
as she leaves
Glowing ember
turning to ashes
flickers, fails
and finally
dies.

Technology has advanced more in the last thirty years than in the previous two thousand. The exponential increase in advancement will only continue. Anthropological Commentary The opposite of a trivial truth is false; the opposite of a great truth is also true.

Firewall
Encompass your soul
with firewall.
The false webpage,
won't bring sure fall!
Who is the sinner,
to burn you in fire?
Combustible isn't spirit,
doesn't care his ire!
Life is a balanced sheet,
as all beforehand saw-
each action has its same, opposite
reaction, tells Newton's third law!

That's Our Society
Cries,
Screams,
Tears,
Anarchy.
That's our society.
Pure hate,
Heartless souls,
Numb,
Prejudice.
That's our society.
Unwanted,
Vacant,
Deserted,
Plain.
That's our society.
Conformity,
Pain,
Death,
War.
That's our society.
It makes it seem like it's
Not where you'd want to
Be placed, doesn't it?

MY HEART! (Angust 26 2010)
My heart doesn't lie, it always tells the truth.
My heart hurts from everyone i trust breaking it and causing it pain.
My heart loves the one who you hate.
My heart hates the one who you love.
My heart want to trust everyone but doesn't know how, and afraid what might become of it.
My heart doesn't lie

He who tells the truth doesn't sin, but he causes many inconveniences.
Nature painfully fights back
in the man is laid out
an exact model of the universe
his knowledge drives the world
vast as creation where stars glitter
there are great holes where sometimes
he gets himself lost in his quest for himself
beauty runs in his heart where love spreads out
like a sun to blanket the world with warmth
man a sweet personification of nature
there flows the elements of arts
roses, crocuses, the seven seas,
grandiose canyons, hillls and mountains,
the fine coloured fluttering butterflies
and majestically plumed birds, all making up
paintings, poems and songs..
man an exact model of universe
here is a dance belted out
in scintillating opposites to
cement, and fuel the ever
expansive creation
for every shade an exact
opposite to entertain the soul
for every step, an opposite to
cheer up the spirit - a male, a female,
a black, a white, a young, an old,
a smile, a tear, a birth, a death
and these these cancerous cells,
nature's painful grouses to amplify the point
man has derailed him in its creation dance
gone against his better self

Removed From a Disguise
The truth of the matter is...
No one is going to tell it!
A society that has been fantasized,
Has flourished on deceit and lies.
Dishonesty and pretension thrives.
It doesn't matter how truth
Is removed from a disguise.
It will not be recognized anyway.
And that is why the pain of it...
Has many upset.
And those brave enough to tell it,
Are demoralized and criticized!
A society once respected for its trust...
Has been thrusted into a nose dive!
And those responsible for its demise,
Do the best they can,
To hide this from eyes!
And those failed actions are remarkable!
As they rob Peter to pay Paul who owes Harry...
That loaned Mary who stoled from Agnes and Jennifer,
That promised Peter she would deliver her payment...
With interest!
And he has been ignored!
