Certificate of appreciation: Indoctrination

Indoctrination

Education, eradication, indoctrination
Are all a part of teaching enlightenment.
It’s easy to instill new ethics in competition
With tradition that require less effort

And give free reign to desires rampant
In their need to rule in confrontation
With your subconscious screaming at
Behaviors clamoring for ethical commiseration

While schools, society, and social media are in congregation
In an overt need to instill the requirement
Of integration at the expense of consideration
For the soul’s cry for disciplined faith that meant

Ease of conscious, inner calm, that
Imposes acceptance, growth, and beautification
Of imagination within souls that never forget
To be humbled by divine creation.

Social Division through Labels

What would you change about modern society?

Modern society has a tendency to create class/ label subdivisions in order to create distance, even dissention among the population. It’s ironic, really, how by coming up with a variety of labels that are racial, neurological, gender specific, and more are invariably creating communities within communities that create separation and division between a community. These classifications make communication more difficult,  as traditional rules don’t apply, more specifically, they deviate from the norm, creating a greater gap in understanding the needs of all. I may be backwards or too traditional, but at least in a world where gender roles, values, acceptable behavior, and norms have all become skewed.

Family, coffee, sweets, smiles, and hugs

What are 5 everyday things that bring you happiness?

Having my family around me is heavenly,  as I’m surrounded by their smiles and ‘optional’ hugs (i say they’reoptional,  but really, they’redemanded.) All of those start my dau right, but only after a quiet cup of coffee, taken in solitude,  with my thinking cap and following up on writing challenges and contests. Lastly, sweets come in 2 forms: happy family and chocolate! The first I have an abundance of (blessed), while the other, I either bake to assuage my sweet tooth or get a really melt-in-your-mouth chocolate bar.

These things may seem simple or taken for granted. However,  I’m not one of those who does, as I believe it’s the simple things in life that give me joy. Take the time to celebrate them too, as they never last as long as you want them to.

Double Gold Certificate,  Skulled Doorway

Picture inspired poem -exert

Skulled Doorway

The road to Heaven is paved
In squeletons, crania, gaunt roots
And bare branches surrounding the opened
Doorway to a land appearing berefts

Of all humanity, vegetation,
But the barren ground is enrobed
By blues of heavenly hues, a partition
From the deserted ground, …

5th place Certificate of Excellence, Karma

Karma (exert)

All man-made laws have loopholes
That help people become fools

For not striding the narrow path
That emblazons morality in a breath

Radiating Karmic laws of wisdom:
Actions demand reactions, while calm

Patience are rewards in themselves, …

Tennis and ski

What Olympic sports do you enjoy watching the most?

Why those 2 you ask? Well simple really, I loved playing those sports and white I watch,  I feel the exhiliration of a strategically placed ball that ends up being a winner. As for ski, I can imagine feeling the speed, the wind, the icy feel of the snow, the danger of a fall, all the while embracing the beauty of the freedom it gives as you ski downhill.

Back to normal

How have you adapted to the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic?

The only time I adopt the mask is when I’m sick, and I don’t wish to limit the spread of the virus I have. However,  I’ve seen first year college/ university students actually move away from a handshake or  hug. They’ve adapted by being less social by not knowing how to open a conversation or keep it going. More, they’ve become so afraid of covid that they’re distancing themselves from peers and using their phones more often to communicate.
