...and she wears black-belt of solid
endurance, around her soul.
Because, she was born in pain city;
She's never perturbed by their
pettiness and rumor mongering attitude.

can anyone tell me
why East and West are fighting?
in an indisputably Round world
going West far enough
will put you in the East
and vice versa

in a round view of things
people of the east
need the same things
as people of the west
and what about the middle people?
what do they need?
roundly the same I'd say

so roundly I also say
otherness is to be avoided
otherness to be voided
replaced by roundness
roundness is to be embraced
all around the world

so I'll start
and put my arms around you
like a circle around the sun
for I am
as round as you

left the soul deserted
a gamble didn't pay off
losing the heart to love again

But I guess it's cos' ... ???
I'm NOT ... " White Enough " ...

and ... NOT ... Wear Cuffs ...  
  
Presumption can make ... ???
People give ... ATTITUDE ... !!!
  
So .....
Don't just ... " Assume " ...

Your ... LAST MISTAKE ... !!!!
  
" Attitude " ... that arises ...
because of ... " Assumption " ...
can leave men with ... " Truncheon " ...
Without their ... Heart Function ... !!!

So ....

Take my advice ....
it's time to ... ABORT ... !!!!!

If you're a ... " Male " ... ?
  
Just be a ... " Cool Dude " ...  
and just do ... " What's Right ... !!!
  
REMOVE ... !!!
  
... " Attitude " ... !!!!!!
I think it's fair to say, that, some 10 years after I wrote this, these words are ringing a little too true now, from Gaza to your everyday street fights ... peoples' attitudes, right about now,  are really not nice !!!!!

Those mornings when your body feels stiff and your eyes feel heavy and it just doesn’t feel right.
Those days when you don’t know why it all is.
Those nights when it feels wasted.
That day when those days end.

A winner is someone
Who makes several mistakes
And then builds a fort out of them.

There's so much I want to say, but all the words stay jumbled up in my chest.
There's so much that I'm feeling that I don't want to feel.
I used to want to cut out this heart out of my chest,
But after awhile I realized that this heart of mine
Should not be hated – but thanked for.
I used to want to be numb—
Feel nothing at all.
But having the ability to feel
Is what makes me me.
If I didn't have a heart,
But just an empty cavity,
Then I wouldn't be able to care about
You
Or
You
Or
You.
& the truth is that
I care about you and you and you a lot.
