Books on Tape
There are so many self help book out there. One of the most popular being Tony Robbins who made over a billion with his self help books and seminars. Did he really help anyone? Probably like the lottery, a few win and the rest lose.

Humble Pie
The absolute truth is just like a small slice of pie and always better than nothing.

Teen Idols (Haiku)
This is reflective of my really 'corny' mood tonight...
Pen On A Paper.
Just trying to remind us all that wars don't start on the battledfield.it starts with decisions taken by those in authority in their luxury houses & sometimes,the soldiers don't know what they are fighting for.
Language

Little rhyming and rhythmic melody…..about listening to your gut feelings.
July Third
Just got done watching a documentary about rape in the military. 20,000 women and 20,000 men are raped while serving in the armed forces while the perpetrators go unpunished. Now we are going back into Iraq, it's all pretty sad.
Future Lessons

A "smart alec" is a person regarded as obnoxiously self-assertive and impudent. Various sources suggest that Alec Hoag was given the sobriquet of "smart Alec" by the police for being a resourceful thief who outsmarted himself by trying to avoid paying graft.

A sad fact is that the homeless and destitute in our society might as well be ghosts. They are mostly ignored and overlooked as if they did not exist.
The Little Mermaid that couldn’t...
I was watching my fellow-travellers on this globe, frolicking in the waves today, I had already done my frolicking, and was relaxing with a cuppa,[a Frappe, nice ice-cold Greek coffee with a tad of milk, shaken in a blender, mmm..., wouldn’t mind so
The problem with positive-thinking ...
First off, I ‘love’ positive-thinking gurus, well, to a point, Some do get nauseating past that point, though..., They certainly pose many valid, logical, unarguable tenets, They quote all the ‘holy’ scriptures and the gurus gone before them to c
Messed up World
Just ignore those who are bad. Try to make a better World. We need to start from "me", "I", or "myself" Wish a possible mindset for peace to All around The World in 2024
Why Do You Write Poetry?
Why do you write poetry? Is it for the recognition? Maybe for the glory, or just to see if someone, somewhere is even listening. Do you make up stories of pure fiction? Or are you just desperate for some attention. Why is it so important to

Darkman/Lightman...
In caveman times, relationships were simple and uncomplicated, You would just grab a female by the hair and have your way with her, before tossing her aside again..., Now, you have to woo her, like some wogian of yesteryear, Buy her flowers, say
I HAD A DREAM THAT OBAMA
Firstly this poem was written when Obama won the Presidency in 2008. Secondly it's only a poem so plz no out of timing comments on political views.
Transparency
You hear a lot about the word transparency so this is a little play at what it means to me. Look at all the conflict around the world and how they all revolve around the peoples lack of understanding in government affairs and their free speech.

A Bad Day
I have the day off today which I am thankful for. There are certainly people with worse days than this. Like George Carlin said, "What do white people have to be blue about? White people have to realize their job is to give people the blues, not to get them."
