Seeking Organization

Clutter said: I do need some order to this chaos.

Organization said: It is but simple. Everything in its place and a place for everything.

Clutter replied: Well, it may be easy for you to accomplish because that is the order of your strengths.

Organization emphasized: If you get rid of what you do not need, create a place for everything  you need and put everything you need in its place, you will come to revile disorganization as I do.

Elevated Relevancy

We are all elements within the greater cause.

Therefore, we must seek and find our roles

And points of positive connection with others,

Towards the dignified respect of, and certainly

For the advancement of the cause of humanity.

Your actions count!

Perceived Reality

Which is it?

It is because I say it is or it is because it is.

It is because I say it is or is it because it is.

It is because I say it is  because it is.

Because it is I say it is because it is.

I say it is because it is.

It is because it is.

Because it is, it is.

Cherish The Times

Cherish each of the moments you live

And live to cherish the moments lived.

For it is but a short time given to all, within which

To embrace the gift in all its dimensions,

And make the best of the precious opportunity.

Rather than squander it in the hopelessness

Of despair and self-doubt, nay don ye the vest of

Steadfast courage and resolve undeterred to

Triumph and soar with the eternal winds of hope

Towards the promise of the fullness of life.

Therefore, my friend, minimize regret . . .

Love life, live free, be kind, and  live well.

Live Yours

We all have unique races to run.

Yea, we  may fairly emulate or even learn

From the wealth of exemplary attributes.

But envy not or attempt to become another,

For it is but a wasted venture, rather use

Laudable lessons to aid your singular pathways

And explore your potential to the fullest degree, to

Augment and compliment the dimension of your essence.

Cherish Living

Cherish the living of each moment, before it

Dissipates within the elements of life…

For time, like a mirage fast fades steadily,

Evaporating as vapours into the mystic

Sphere of existence, while yet transforming

Into the elusive and abides no longer tangible.

But, yet when reflections court nostalgia

Those moments assume the poignancy

Of the present past, although not physical

Sufficiently powerful to cause revival of

The previous emotions accompanying

Certain times past in their original form.

Thus, as that which is gone has not the ability to

Attain the perceptible nature of its bygone era,

While it is present, earnestly treasure its value, to

Aid, not only the nurturing of the present moments

But the stimulating nature of the past and hope of the future.

Justice For Trayvon

Should not have been as elusive as it has become

How can lady justice rest easy in the realization

That a young boy with the apparent promise

To live too, and likewise stand his ground to

Defend his precious life and the right to walk

Boldly to his father’s abode in the land of the free,

Such freedom, previously denied by shackles and ships,

Was gunned down before the prime of his short life…

With no remedy forthcoming for his cold body.

Yet, his choice of garment becomes a negative focal point,

And though racial connotations seem tragically minimized

They loom large in the quest for justice for more than the dead

For alas, justice for Trayvon is indeed justice for all.

Lest we all someday are subject to dreadfully wrong assumptions

Causing the fabric of society to disintegrate to the detriment of all.

Shoot us not merely because of the skin …

Legacy Unquantified

The essence of the good fight may not be valued

Nor well quantified in the weight of  rubies and gold,

Or measured in accolades with standing ovations.

It may, silently and honestly be accounted for

By the rich dimension of solid integrity and

Ardent embodiment of the laudable qualities

The human race is innately endowed with.

That a legacy, yet, may be passed from one

To future generations,  that humanity indeed

Is worth more than sheer hatred, prejudice,

Bigotry, plain greed,  the profane and vile,

But truly possesses that which is honourable

Purely commendable, kind and simply humane.

Liberty’s Vision

For the chance to be that which I have in me …

To be unique in the expression of that which is endowed to each

Is the quest inherently innate to all that journey through the mystic.

The unbridled chance to embark upon a course unencumbered by inimical

Restraints of prejudice, colonization, and domination of whatever description.

The independence to embrace the birthright of freedom as responsible

Compass in the navigation of fair possibilities  available within the realm.

Still fully, understanding that liberty itself preserves the right, not privilege,

Of all, not some, to be and be free, without bondage’s imposition by others,

To exercise that which is inalienable, and embrace race, gender and creed,

While recognizing in the community for all people, certain agreed upon

Unifying and equitable principles are within the scheme that empowers one

Thus guaranteeing potential’s hope in full measure, yet assuring the dignity of all.

Change Confronted

Change is the steady pulse of human existence

For without  a doubt, it interjects itself

Unfailing into the course and scheme of life

Thus with the armour of this knowledge, be prepared

To confront the aspect of change should it appear

Even if its essence would take more time to conquer.

Be of good courage.
