The Immigrant

Mirror Mirror on the Wall

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall

In this day and age the magazines tell us to go for the quick fix. Plastic surgery is getting out of control when even children are having it to improve their self esteem. True beauty always comes from the inside and no matter what you do on the outside it will never change that. This was not aimed at any particular person however I have known a few people who have had multiple procedures and they were just as unhappy in their life as they were before. I am not against plastic surgery as such but I think it has gotten out of control.

Belief in fact

Belief in fact

A poem about perspective. Once a group of people believe something, it is near impossible to convince them otherwise. You can present "facts"; they have their own "facts". There is no unalterable way to prove who's right or wrong, because the concept of right and wrong itself is human and flawed. As a result we have "belief", and war over blame and ideology, i.e. :"We believe that it's wrong to kill as X nation does, so we have to kill as many of them as we can". Or executing someone for murder. It's ludicrous.

Agricultural Freedom

Agricultural Freedom

Written 2-21-02. Back when I raised show rabbits, there were rules about how many rabbits a breeder could have before it was considered "commercial" and needed a license. Same with dogs, because of what some people did badly. IE, poor care of breeding stock, animals dying or no vet care etc. So, the responsible breeders were faulted for it, not the ones making the mistakes. But with this ripple effect on good breeders, eventually so many other things would be affected and our world would come crashing. That law didn`t pass but it`s still hovering over us.

Haiku Haiku

Haiku Haiku

I rather like Haiku, actually! I believe the 'modern' traditional format is three lines, with five, seven, and five syllables per line (though a five line stanza with 5,7,5 followed by 7, 7 is common too?). What I really like in haiku, that I fail to express in mine, is to see independant thoughts that combine to form an image. That is to say, three things which aren't related through transtions, and accessories like 'and', 'with', or possessives. Blah blah blah, right? lol Maybe I'll slip by later and try my hand at a more thoughtful haiku. :)

Mixed Emotions

Mixed Emotions

Essential is the air we breath Like water is to land The world rotates with love and anger Now this I try to understand

Cradled

Cradled and comfortable for death I wept, I wept and cried a sleepless pain And the empty darkness consumed the rain For which I'm known I'm born I'm killed I'm dead, I'm dead I'm you if you were me I'm every life ended in pain I'm every life

For the children we can

For the children we can!

I really feel this way, if everyone out there just tried to be the best person they could be imagine how much better ythe world could be. I know this sounds childish or like something a pagent queen may say, but I think it is so true. So many times we allow ourselves to not be good human beings whether someone else makers us mad or that we just claim we don't have the time or money or whatever, we allow ourselves to not be the best people we can be and I think it's sad. The world is dying but we as a whole kind of say, hey we'll deal with it tomorrow and it's saqd. And the thing I think is the saddest is I do it too and if everyone in the world took five minutes to make a difference could you image...The whole world united in one thing for five minute, one thing that would help us all for five minutes....Anyone like that is reality and I swear I am not psycho enviromentalist ( not that there is anything wrong with that ) But really I know I could try harder at being a better human being...Thanks for the time *lol*
