Poetry for Change
I’m honored, humbled by the accolade for my work as Moderator at Led Pen. I feel that it’s truly a joy not work as I read other’s work, perspectives, metaphors, and verses that impact the way I perceive things. Thank you for the honor.
My poetry book, Perfectly Flawed poetry for change, is available on all eplatforms including Amazon. It was on the finalist list for the Canadian Book Club Awards 2023.

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.
‘Resitance is Futile’*1
We’re being bombarded, daily,
By subliminal messages, hourly,
Whispers of drugs, violence, alcoholics’ enduced hazes, minutely,
Incorporated in ALL media, compulsively.
Resistance is Futile …
Words, sounds, images coalesce
Into an indoctrinated presence
That’s insidious in its convergence
Into your mind, creating a blinding trace
For behaviors that are incongruent
With ‘our’ Ideals of humanity, that are esculent
By mediocrity of addiction becoming permanent,
As our dependence skyrockets into exponent …
‘Resitance is Futile’ …
As our struggles persist, our
Vision, imagination, purveyor
Of our strength of cohesion, flutter
Into a bud that flourishes in power.
As ‘Resistance is Futile’,
Our obstacles remain tangible,
Yet, clearly, unattainable.
The need to strive to be corrigible
Is embedded in our DNA, for hope is always tenable.
Thus:
‘Resitance is (Not) Futile.’

Thank you, administrators, for the accolade and your hard work.
International Writer’s Day
Acrostic
Internet has facilitated global connections
Never stop the growth of writers
That rend their hearts as theIr words flow
Empowering the weak to
Remember their worth
Never succumbing to oppression’s
Timely propagation that cleAves
Intimate family meMbers into
Open enemity, clearly ‘Dividing & Conquering’
Needlessly aggressive, destructive,
Avid in mercilessly taking resources And
Leaving nothing to the Indigenous peoples.
Write, revel, rebel, roast, rumble the gruesome
Reality of a world built on Materialism
Instead of unity of humanity peeP
That lends compassion and succOr that
Eventually works together against thE oppressor
Ruining the ecology, separaTing family,
Solidifying Darwin’s rules of supremacy
Dealing in strength that overpowers others
Amid illegal, inhumane practices that have
Yet to be punished.

Book’s Visionary
Creating a world with paper and pen,
I watch my vision evolve to stun in a den
Of books, windows to the unknown,
They litter the shelves, organized
In alphabetical order for all it’s simplified,
But those unique books, mine, and those grown
In power as time passed, and some
Tried to surpass their Ideology that come
With experience, social living, wearing a crown
Of knowledge, practicality, friendship
That coalesce into strong leadership
As your intellect expanded with the blown
Exposé of things that seem foreign
As your experience is limited to the line
Of things taught to you not learned with a frown
As you explore its meaningful message
While you look at other references, not a cage,
To amplify your understanding its daily application
Not just learning but doing, changing.
That’s the purpose of books of all genres, rebelling.

Yes, too many ideas can be a problem, as time is a b…ch that cyphons it away from you. Plus, there are times when you start with one idea, you get bored and stop. Start- Stop ✋️ 🫸 🫷 😑
I can’t believe some people don’t enjoy writing anymore. Don’t forget all the abbreviations!!!
“Books serve to show a man that those original thoughts of his aren’t very new at all.” -Abraham Lincoln
Books Serve
Books are a great way to improve your linguistic ability, as well as widen your horizons by using your imagination. No idea in a book is really ‘new’, even Shakespeare only had 3 original concepts for plays, while the others were borrowed from previously written works or histories. This does Not mean that borrowing an idea and altering it to fit your story, theme, action, … is wrong, it just means you needed a starting point. Another example is when contests are themed, or have a word or expression that needs to be used in your work. Does that mean you’re stealing from others or using ‘it’ as a starting point? The result of these contests is that over 20 different perspectives are given by the variety of writers. Are they all plagiarizing when their content is so vastly different? ‘Turn it in’ is another way that teachers and professors assess that your work is at least 80 to 85% your actual writing and not borrowed or copied.
So, tell me what you think about using an idea as a starting point.
