Battle for Our Souls
Afraid that I would have to change and adapt to the Vietnamese way of doing business, which means arrogance and pushy, flaunting my money and power , treating others rudely and demanding people to do things for me. Afraid I would lose my humanity.

Where Are You From?
Just pondering where people live and where they move to. We have certainly had our influx of new people in my small town, I can't say it is for the better.
right vs wrong…
if you’re ‘right’, someone has to be ‘wrong’, not so long ago we were burnt at the stake for being wrong, now, that is not right, well, what changed that right to a wrong? a simple change of thought-bundles… so, we now have the current se

There are no words to describe The sacrifices made for you The Earth Logos for eons of time Those from outside sacrifice bliss So that you may live another day There are things ongoing Stabilising the tectonic plates Limiting storms and earth
People, who can be trusted
People, who can be trusted are very important, It’s so difficult – being reliable person in life. Always those who are kind have to go through discomfort, But without them world wouldn’t be light and bright.

This USA culture I find myself living in really has me troubled at times.
Michael Moore
You finally came to our area No more going to Madison to see your films For once you picked a popular subject Donald Trump And why we got him as president in the first place Did you answer the question of why the United States has so many murder

So Few are They Whose Legion is Peace
So few are they whose legion is peace. Did Columbus chase stillness beyond tumultuous seas? Sails and oars were manned by dissidents, genocide is patent. Prayers and spreads with huge birds were answered with reservations, provisions like

Whispered Freedom
Emancipation was the key to the Promised Land, a sweeter, brighter, a more blissful life stretched out over time. The thoughts of freedom and freedoms came fearful like a powerful wave of sea water; a steadily crashing movement moving more away that

Tragic Disaster
There is plenty of evidence. It remains for historians of the future to describe aghast at the 20th century.
You're Still Beautiful To Me
I dont see how people can buy into this bull , not even worthy of bathroom material and a waste on my cable bill for sure. I ordered HBO not hiphop abs. Love yourself be yourself. Make the change you need or want but for yourself, or a loved one, something better than because somebody somewhere said so. Might as well play a record backwards then kill someone and say the devil made you do it. It worked in the 80's or did that fail too...Cheers

Thankfully it is only a small minority but even that is too much. One death is one death too many.

SILENT VOICES
I wrote this poem when poetry was in my blood, in 2013. I have been re-reading my poetry hoping it would spark my visions off again. Sadly it did not, but this poem speaks volumes as nothing has indeed changed.

Things Money Can Buy
I was reading a post on what money can't buy you. Manners, morals, respect, character, common sense, trust, patience, class, integrity, and love. I know from personal experience that the lack of money can make life pretty aweful. Money may not be able to buy happiness, but it sure can rent it!
R Kelly
It seems with all the cell phones we have rammed up the bullying behavior of people. I read that suicidal thoughts are on the uprise in America. I do miss the innocence of the 70's and 80's when I grew up before all this bad news on my heroes came out. How long before they find something on Will Smith.
Colour
It is not the colour of the skin that you live in or even where you are born it is the colour of your thoughts that define your state of mind within a world where thoughts are becoming colour blind
An idle thought…
Today, during my meditation, I had a strange experience, I noticed an idle thought dancing before me like a feminine roué, Strange, I thought, I’m in my serious, delightful and rejuvenating daily meditation, so why this distraction? After asking f
They're Great!
Some of the advertisements I see on TV are pretty aweful. One of the worst is for ASPCA, who gives 1/10 of one percent to the poor dogs they claim to care about.
