Exposed Reds
The Reds speak and write scholarly
About inequity
And The Struggle
Seemed honorable,
Innocuous and heroic
Until The Struggle becomes a profession,
An economic vehicle for the artists
And politicians
The tools of The Reds are blinding
Stimulative and emotive
Leaving young minds wanting
He was a Red before he criticized one
The priests were Red
Then they prayed
Liberators became
Ethnic cleansers

World's In Tangle
Written by J. Lane.
Now you know the world's all in a tangle man
Everybody begin to sing this song
The Reds are just over yonder boys
And we ain't gonna be here long
That's why I'm gonna build myself a cave
Move down in the ground
When I go into the army babe
Won't be no more Reds around
Now you know I got my personary man [note: best translation]
I've got my class cattoo [note: best translation]
I begin to feel so worried
I just don't know what to do
That's why I'm gonna build myself a cave
Move down in the ground
When I go into the army babe
Won't be no more Reds around me
Now you know the world's all in a tangle man
Everybody begin to sing this song
The Reds are just over yonder boys
And we ain't gonna be here long
That's why I'm gonna build myself a cave
Move down in the ground
When I go into the army babe
Won't be no more Reds around me

Struggles
Is the struggle what it is?
Is it my own struggle to begin?
What do i struggle to obtain,
As I learn from those in pain?
What is this pain, I hear and see,
Could it be another, who sturggles to see?
Again, I ask what struggle is this,
That stirs my soul to NEVER quit?

I think all good writing is a struggle. To write as well as you feel you can has to be a struggle, almost by definition, because you could always improve.

CONTROL THE CIRCUMSTANCES May 6th,2011
Very few of us have been down in the painful cancer league,
A place of physical, mental, emotional chemo fatigue,
A fearful struggle to avoid being caught in an oncoming death trap,
They can keep you alive for a while, they say, but you feel like crap.
A constant condition of physical shutting down every day,
Getting weaker and more tired and get another x-ray,
Where dying might seem the better and less painful option,
But politicians and priests have lots of biased objections.
And death with dignity; politicians refuse to discuss,
The Supreme Court treated Sue Rodriguez with utter disgust,
While politicians stood back, did nothing and nodded their heads,
Don’t have to get involved because they’re indifferent feds.

Who knows for what we live, and struggle, and die? Wise men write many books, in words too hard to understand. But this, the purpose of our lives, the end of all our struggle, is beyond all human wisdom.

Red moon's day
Let's have a world red moon's day
Just to sense the wild of red
A feel of a trillion reds pressed together
The deep, the scarlet and the crimson reds
For us to fall into affection,
Adoration from hearts like these
To see lovers alone standing firm before the invisible
Let that invisible be the world and its whole
For us all to love and to crave
To be told while we hold
That in the better and worse
The hold of the devotees under the red moons ought to stay
So it is us who will stay
To sit and watch the moon
To let the dripping worship tenderly fall on us
To consecrate and to charm
To truss and to knot
Let the reds grow redder and till they gush out
To come running through us
Till we ascend into the embrace of forever
Into the love resilient
The compassion of everlasting
To look right into the gaze of love
A love graced by the stroke of red
To smile as to breathe
To learn the unforgettable
Just t love under the red moons
On a red moons' day

We've used up a lot of bullets. And we talk about stimulus. But the truth is, we're running a federal deficit that's 9 percent of GDP. That is stimulative as all get out. It's more stimulative than any policy we've followed since World War II.

Social democracy seeks and finds the ways, and particular slogans, of the workers' struggle only in the course of the development of this struggle, and gains directions for the way forward through this struggle alone.

Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble.

Lonesome passion (as inspired by my colleague Crisanto Mendoza Caguintuan, Dubai)
I am alone and lonely
but I am not lonely
of being alone
lonely in thinking of
lonesome memories
lonely
in thinking of that too much
idealism becomes you weak
and leads in the path of stupidity
beyond real schemes
verse makers are born beggars
golden verses uttered from their golden minds
are nothing but a poor supplement
for economic turmoil
therefore, what benefits to have
a brilliant minds
whose ideas is as wide as the open seas
but his life is ruined by economic misery
learn how to work and toil
my friend
myself
even if it is not our burning desire
but be cautious
mostly our heart in doing
rebels to our hand in moving
an inner struggle of mine
it is hard to resist
till when?
I do not know

The Struggle Within
Reaching out for something you've got to feel
while clutching to what you had thought was real
kicking at a dead horse pleases you
no way of showing your gratitude
so many things you don't want to do
what is it? what have you got ot lose
what the hell
what is you think you're gonna find?
hypocrite
boredom sets into the boring mind
struggle within it suits you fine
struggle within your ruin
struggle within you seal your own coffin
struggle within the struggling within
home is not a home it becomes a hell
turning it into your prison cell
advantages are taken

Alone once more
It is quite a struggle when you live alone,
You don’t know who to call upon when alone,
You don’t know who to love when you’re alone once more.
I wish I’m not in the struggle I am right now,
It’s making me cry with loneliness,
I wish I was happy with love in the air,
Once alone once more
Wish I was not alone much more,
As it is a struggle for any one who is alone,
Once more.

Woman In The Struggle
Raving voices
Up raised fists
Marching on shoulder to shoulder
In the Front line
Having slogans
Your snapshots are invisible
May be your energy
To be advanced
As a mountain of life
Being a mother and a wife
A sister and a friend
May be give a breath
To light up the torch
History of the struggle is
Not the struggle only of the men
But the picture of unseen and unwritten
Thousands stories behind
Capricious weakness
Image of the history
Until eliminate reality
It will be also a struggle
Within the struggle
You are invisible

Lonesome Passion, Economic Desire (for Cris Mendoza Caguintuan, dubai)
I had supposed to
publish this piece a week ago
but my dark mood and miserable thoughts
ate up my time until today........
I am alone and lonely
but I am not lonely
of being alone
lonely in thinking of
lonesome memories
lonely
in thinking of that too much
idealism becomes you weak
and leads in the path of stupidity
beyond reality
verse makers are born beggars
golden verses uttered from their golden minds
are nothing but a poor supplement
for economic turmoil
therefore, what benefits to have
a brilliant minds
whose ideas is as wide as the open seas
but his life is ruined by economic misery
learn how to work and toil

even if it is not our burning desire
but be cautious
mostly our heart in doing
rebels to our hand in moving
an inner struggle of mine
i find hardly to resist

All of us are trying to achieve 100 percent in our work. That's all we struggle to do. We never do, but we never stop trying until the day we die. It's that struggle to achieve 100 percent, that's where our performance lies, that's what the audience gets. They get the struggle.

I will resist this injustice
Never will I like C.L. Leipoldt say:
“My country is not mine anymore;
my nation is dead from the struggle,
my courage is not heroic anymore -
God, please forgive me! ”
and although my people
now stay right over the world
and my country has been taken away
the struggle continues forever
as long as prayers go up
to God in heaven
who is almighty in control
and even during times of impossibility
practises His will.
as long as a Afrikaner
stand on his right
to lead a life
I will get a ray of hope
from somewhere
and as long as I am alive
I will resist
this unfairness.
[This is my translation of C.L. Leipoldt’s Afrikaans verse.]
