Confrontations

What makes you nervous?

Confrontations that may hurt other people’s feelings, especially family members,  are my worst nightmare.  In all honesty,  I usually bottle up my problems so that when I do finally confront the person, my reaction is usually stronger, more aggressive than it should be. That alone creates more problems.  I’m working on being more upfront with my feelings,  but it’s difficult to change 5 decades of behavior in a short time.

Double Gold Certificate: Vanity’s Curse

Vanity’s Curse

From the swirling darkened fog
A wisp of a gorgeous woman
Wrapped haphazardly in blood red smog
Alive in its flow as she moves, an

Astounding beauty, captivatingly attractive,
Sensual, and her sexuality bared for
All to consume closely and become enraptusured
By a fiery beauty hiding an insidious core,

Horrifically rotten with envy,
Hatred, corruption, aggression,
All coalesce within her stare, a visionary
Of destruction, disunity, strife that lend to perfection

Into her spiderweb of infractions
That destroy unity’s equality
And fairness that require absolutions
From a community that venerates all that’s holy.

Wherever there’s equanimity
She presents chaos and superfluous vanity.

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, …
