"attaining" poems
Black surges, forges piling emotion, Foraging, attaining such predicted erosion. Color the rubies to a diluted amber, Brittle, dripped gems are toxic, I clamber To the lamp as to see my implicit devotion. Vitals ascend, and I can't perceive This motionless forfeit I often receive. Aid is essential, it holds potential, To cure this conflicted, addicted vessel. My heart on my sleeve, I'm undeceived. I implore to explore, as breath, I leave, So close to dying, I'm on the eve Of darker clothing, and flowers to family, Hallucinate my abnormalities. Yet somehow, I am still on my feet-

I'm Still On My Feet
Birds have their homes. This bird made this world, Its own home. When other birds struggled To make friends beyond their homes, This bird made followers and comrades, Transformed them The perseverent leaders of a challenging mission It put its foot on Argentina and Set its victorious fight in Cuba. Availed losses in Congo Voiced and breathed every millisecond Struggled recklessly for a mission, Freedom, peace & prosperity of all its fellow birds Beyond borders. The most superior of the superior birds With an infinite and complex strings of cunningness Put an end to this bird in Bolivia. At the end, the bird failed Fell a prey for other selfish birds. As a root that fell and Buried itself in the soil with an infinite power. To give hope and shelter, To all those who come under it, For the near future and coming generations The bird died! But its mission ignited the phoenix flames In its bird comrades. Got them to fight for Every drop of Injustice, Imperialism and hatred That came racing towards them As an inescapable bullet Their hearts raised in spirit When every drop of its thought Hit them more fierce than The world’s most powerful atomic bomb. The bird died. But its ideals for the mission Rekindled the fires in their heart. Being born an ordinary bird, Fighting for the most demanded & toughest mission, Its thought and principles Set new leaders to fight the unattainable mission Now, looking the most possible Within an attaining distance The bird lived its life, An ordinary and the most challenging one. But transformed a phoenix, When it left the world. And created more of Daring Phoenix warriors; Attain a world filled with peace and happiness.

Phoenix for the humanity

So it came to pass at last and sad to know a Timber has fallen It stood in strength tall and strong for over seven decades Resplendently toned it spread an uncompromising foliage Masterly in domain magical in reach attaining untold grades Humble in origins yet grew with endeavour and knowledge Distinguishably it cut sway in tundra and in lush green glades Son of sons of the Land held roots countenancing no crawling It reached for the stars and danced reasons with every shades Ran with the sun and sat with owls and vipers for tutelage Sweeping the very highs and the lows in communal trades In the jungle of sharks and vipers it be known who's in Charge A Timber has fallen while the rains falls and blue clouds fades There's now a mighty hole in the earth and rivers are swollen Leaves scatter and branches beckon hundreds of onward bridges Leaving best Princess, flowers and saplings for love and largesse A notable trunk laid supine free to roam without worldly cages Odes will enter dancing in guises and tears flow without finesse A Timber has fallen and dirges will ring out for a man of all ages Yemessia bows and says Adieu My Senior, we will meet again.....

Peoples’ lives are dying in consistency; Greed in their pedestal has corrupted this world’s societies. A fruitful opportunity, a gold rush was encountered! Underlying the main ambition of many unfortunate ambitious desires.    Persistently seeking an object of materiality, Children have become contracted to labor endlessly till mortality. The corporate pose has overshadowed humanity, Predetermining existence through living in a vision of obscurity.    Freedom has evolved in many attaining their dreams, Yet, failing to realize their limits in overstepping boundaries. Morality has been compromised to new opportunities. Ultimately, corrupting one’s essence in living spiritually.    We have eluded to perceive the subtle communication they have established you see. Projecting honesty while planting a seed, they enrich themselves invulnerably. Enabled through the loophole of ignorance attracted by social mediocrity, Revealing a battle between each other secretly disguised as insecurity.    Asking how do I seek success, freedom, and happiness endlessly. Indubitably, the answer relies inside, secreting awareness internally. Discovering that the war begins within may end the violence indeed. Extinguishing eternal destruction of the world through peace and harmony.    By: Michael M. De La Fuente

Greed
The true spirit of Ramadhan Its not about thirst and hunger Its not about starvation from the hours of dawn till the hours of dusk Its not about food paradise at Ramadan bazaar and lavish preparation for Iftar... The real purpose of fasting is to attain righteousness to behave righteously... To See no evil To Hear no evil To Speak no evil To Empty your stomach so you'll feed your soul reciting the holy book Al-Qur'an for blessings.. The merciful will double the reward more than your heart desires fast for the sake of attaining to God the true nature of fasting Ramadhan ...observe it in its true spirit ~ Sharina~

Simple
We, the children of a system that awards you simple papers That state 'he/she has achieved what we deem quality' As we are all judged and graded in exactly the same way Because they promote individuality unless it's intelligence 'We all learn differently, and at different paces' Is an often preached sermon of our progenitors these days Yet I know more about synonyms for ancestry and parents Than how to survive once our papers begin to mean nothing So here I'd like you to tell me what is considered knowledge And I'd ask of the older generations to insert customary wisdom Because more adults have spat quotes to me like gospel Than tought me what I really need to know and value I've got a track record spanning back almost two decades Of being sorry for just being myself at all times So I think my teachers should be proud of themselves To know that the things they preach to me really get through You see, homework and exams mean almost nothing To those who need to really think on their feet Because this same system idolizes the memory Mistaking it for a wealth of rawest knowledge So I love it when they say school is too easy on kids now Rewarding losing and not promoting any ambition Because I've been berated for attaining success at any level Due to grades that define me not successful enough

Juxtapositional Refinement Redefined  (Spoken Word- Freestyle-Dramatics) ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ == JRR == by SassyJ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Credits to: Angelina Lopez (HP Poetess) (Copy the link below to your browser) Juxtapositional refinement redefined: When you meet beautiful souls we have been taught by the society to confine them. Like "I love you" but what does that word really mean. Does it mean "sharing in openness" or does it mean " been confined in expectations and obligations". The paradigm that we live in as society is delusional. We have learnt to analyse the "in between" based on our analytical and logical systems. But how about going to the individuals involved and creating an open dialogue to talk about what the situation may be. This is a thorough and more accurate way of attaining acuity. To flow in openness is like listening to 'harmonious jazz music' ...... it is like inhaling the beauty of the ginger scent in the breeze. Life itself speaks to us and we don't have to make it complicated. If we only were able to have an open platform..... hearts that are blissful and not tainted by fear then we can redefine the contrasting views of dichotomy that we have as mankind. In essence, If you haven't communicated to someone openly about something ...... we should never draw out conclusions. They will only be pre-judgemental notions oozing with constraining predefined and predetermined assumptions. Give everyone a chance and the world will smile!

Juxtapositional Refinement Redefined (Spoken Word-Freestyle-Dramatics)
And the chapped sun-baked tire swung on the aged and frail rope attached to the most outright branch of the sheltersome oak tree by the carved up picnic bench. Children fought for such a throne on warm summer days, Not many cared for clawing and snatching in attaining it, But it was a necessary fight in those days. Once they sat in their highest place and swung to the skies, All they could see was the wind-ridden flow of treetops rustling and swaying, creating nature’s static, This why they fought, This is why only the battered and bruised cooled their cuts with forest breeze. It broke one day, after being a shelter in storming youth, Charles Ferger snapped the rope on a smooth swing to reach the sky. They knew the clock was counting down and no one could see how much time was left, but they still hated Charles for being the one it broke on. It wasn’t his fault, and they knew it, but they had to blame someone. No one ventured to it for the first few weeks, The sight of it only reopened healing wounds. At a certain point, years later, after the kids had gone to high school, it was fixed. No one knew who fixed it or when, since the kids still went out there once in a while to drink some nights and have campfires, but they were glad it was fixed, then news of the resurrection spread. And on one MLK day, no one remembers which, they had a bonfire and swung as high as they could to christen it back to its precious worn state once more, fighting over it with the intentional caution they used to use when wrestling for the uninhibited freedom that in lay dormant in the crusty black tire swing.

The temporal beauty which fades and falls, vigor of body that to vale gives way— dissolutions of bloom—have much to say, as life’s costly sermon achingly calls: “Put not your heart’s hope in gifts eyes now see nor set store by charms easily broken. Vibrant buds o’er which praises are spoken, erstwhile by Fall, forgotten shall be. But in Christ waits sure glory eternal and by loss here that beauty there’s gaining its resplendent weight, e’en now attaining through Jesus intimate gem troves internal.” God’s wisdom turns decay and frailty’s gruel into a Homeward driving kind of fuel.

Let Frailty Preach (Sonnet)
It is a general saying that What You Seek is Seeking You. If it is so , then why the sought for (i.e. God ) is not meeting the seeker or seeker is discovering the sought for (i.e. God). It is very easy to say that God is looking and searching for us. If it is so, then why we deviate from our path. Why we are attracted to the lust, money or other worldly material. If God is searching us, then certainly he has to guide us in tracing him. But the reality is just opposite. If tread the path of God, people will laugh at you. If you are working in any office, it is very easy to talk about politics, movies, girls, foods, clothes etc. It is very difficult to find a companion with whom you can speak about God. It looks as if God has created all these hindrances so that it is not convenient to seek him. You seek about movie and you find movie theater. You look for clothes, you find the multiples mall easily. But what about God. Go and ask questions to so called Spiritual Leaders, Spiritual Guru and ask for their experience regarding proof of god, and you do not find definite answered. I have met various so called spiritual leaders, spiritual Gurus and asked about their spiritual experience about the God. But I receive only hesitating answer, that too also in Negative. I do not want to name such leaders. I have also read many books like GOD SPEAKS by MEHER BABA, LAW OF SPIRIT WORLD by KHORSHID BHAWNAGRI, AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF YOGI by Yogananda Paramhansa, Gospel of Shri Ramakrishna. But the end result is confusion. Each book gives different account of God. If God is seeking us then why the same is confusing us by providing so diverse ways of following him. Ramakrishna says money and women has to be avoided on the path of God. While Osho and Modern Gurus says just contrary. In fact in word of Osho, without treading the path of *** , it is difficult to follow the path of God for modern man. For Vedanta, the seeking has to follow the ascetic path. The path the self restraint. While the path of tantra (the Left Marg) to utilize women and wine for attaining the Samadhi. It is Just incomprehensible to believe that just two contradictory path lead to realization of same God. When you look to go nearer to a particular cities or places , then on the way you start meeting land marks, evidencing that the path, you are following , is going to lead you to your destination. In fact on the ways, you find many stones, indicating the distance which is yet to be covered in reaching the destination. But in case of God, things are just contradictory. The more people you approaches to seek advise regarding the God, the more disappointment comes to you. The more book you read to tread the path of God, the more confusion you creates for yourself. The more you discuss the topic of people around, the more alone you become. The more you tread the path of truth, the difficult your life become. Then how it can be said that WHAT YOU SEEK, IS SEEKING YOU????? In fact , truth is that What we seek, creates hindrance in being sought for.

Great professions Great foundations of thy nation To them we look up A brainwave for every aspirant. Beggars, unemployed Criminals and those who are sick Bed-ridden and with counted lives They, who are in need. If we look up to people Do we also look down to others? If we are great contenders, Are we also great in making others feel low ? We choose to upgrade lives While in the stairs, our views are on pinnacle The hub was to escalate At times, forgetting to where we came from. What's the point of attaining positions ? Or even being the crest in the nation's list ? We indeed are people with the same blood The same dreams , yet with mixtures of line ups. To be great , one must serve Great leaders starts from being great servants For He who saved us became a servant first He didn't boast His power and authority He didn't look down to others Instead, He lived with them To those who are oppressed , Abused and neglected By the ever-judging society, You are the God's centre . We must have the eye To see things the way He sees them The heart that feels With compassion and sympathy* to others. Love God Love others Show mercy and care. 7/9/14 (@xirlleelang)

The View in the Escalator
Rocking my snap back, blowing up like a bellow back, juggling bars like it were a hacky sack. Life tries it’s best to give me set backs, but I just sit back and get back up for a comeback. Underdog from the underground, not here to blunder around for I want to be glory bound. Bound for glory, can’t keep me downed man for this is my heroes story. Story of my life, story that almost ended with a knife. Had enough of being left astray, for I no longer was going let myself be treated like an ashtray. Going into the fray, going in but this time I promise I won’t lose my way. Weighed my options, weighted the choices, and now they come to flourishing motion. I only listen to my own notions, and I will sacrifice anything to succeed even if I end up like the borthans. Death stares through the stars, but I won’t be taken by no Death Star. Starting ground up, for you gotta do what ever it takes to get to the top. Toppled the haters and the fakers, for my bars are like eating a snickers. Keep yawl satisfied and I’m so grateful that my effort has been gratified. Bonified dignified undenied modified undefined went in applied and rallied from a moral guide to tear apart the diseased hide.  Government conspiracy, government deemed freedom of speech as heresy. And here I see the flaws, and here I came out of the depths with my claws. Clawed for my dream, dream of attaining cream. Escaped the depths of the Demi-gorgan pit, because it’s all about survival of those who are more fit. Fit to be a decency, but because I’m different I’m deemed a discrepancy. So I’m going in like a ghost doing recon call me Tom Clancy, exposing all these ******* fallacies. Falling down an icy slope, and for the longest time we couldn’t open up because we was introduced to dope which was anything but dope. Dopamine filling my being, neurotransmitters firing so fast that I attain this happy feeling. False perceptions to stimulants, false ideals gotta use discretion’s before I end up in a addiction predicament. Moving fast, moving slow, the ride won’t last, so I always gotta have me mo. Self medicate self evaporate self ********** which leads to self hate and broken fate.Too long since I noticed anything but myself, feel like a ***** villain man so should I arrest my self.

Introduction to the mental asylum
Rocking my snap back, blowing up like a bellow back, juggling bars like it were a hacky sack. Life tries it’s best to give me set backs, but I just sit back and get back up for a comeback. Underdog from the underground, not here to blunder around for I want to be glory bound. Bound for glory, can’t keep me downed man for this is my heroes story. Story of my life, story that almost ended with a knife. Had enough of being left astray, for I no longer was going let myself be treated like an ashtray. Going into the fray, going in but this time I promise I won’t lose my way. Weighed my options, weighted the choices, and now they come to flourishing motion. I only listen to my own notions, and I will sacrifice anything to succeed even if I end up like the borthans. Death stares through the stars, but I won’t be taken by no Death Star. Starting ground up, for you gotta do what ever it takes to get to the top. Toppled the haters and the fakers, for my bars are like eating a snickers. Keep yawl satisfied and I’m so grateful that my effort has been gratified. Bonified dignified undenied modified undefined went in applied and rallied from a moral guide to tear apart the diseased hide.  Government conspiracy, government deemed freedom of speech as heresy. And here I see the flaws, and here I came out of the depths with my claws. Clawed for my dream, dream of attaining cream. Escaped the depths of the Demi-gorgan pit, because it’s all about survival of those who are more fit. Fit to be a decency, but because I’m different I’m deemed a discrepancy. So I’m going in like a ghost doing recon call me Tom Clancy, exposing all these ******* fallacies. Falling down an icy slope, and for the longest time we couldn’t open up because we was introduced to dope which was anything but dope. Dopamine filling my being, neurotransmitters firing so fast that I attain this happy feeling. False perceptions to stimulants, false ideals gotta use discretion’s before I end up in a addiction predicament. Moving fast, moving slow, the ride won’t last, so I always gotta have me mo. Self medicate self evaporate self ********** which leads to self hate and broken fate.Too long since I noticed anything but myself, feel like a ***** villain man so should I arrest my self. I just long for rest myself, and maybe it’s time for someone else to assess myself. Maybe it’s time to visit the mental asylum

The motions-- We're going through emotions (right?) 'Cuz there's not a better thing to do on Sunday night. This place has lost religion ritualistically And I think, realistically, it's time to do the same Overbooked, yet, overlooked And on the hook for debts outstanding But you commanded my attention So stay unstained I've been attaining second chances for unforeseen circumstances So I'll drum if you keep dancing Just stay unstained Intentions-- Can undergo declension Yours and Mine are genitive on dative Friday nights. Some folks can lose their vision visionarily So I'd say, cautionarily, "forget to do the same." Aptitude for rectitude: That may be shrewd, and yet-- while prudent Rings no bells 'til midnight chimes out one more mortal year Afeared, I fear, ad mortum. But we just keep pounding on pulsing heads So let's drum on; keep on dancing-- Remain unstained.

We Grammarians
We grow in a ragged garden whose caretaker no longer cares for himself except to prune back only the most strangling branches of his mind's miseries. Effectively, we are left to our own wild ways. In all directions, time's vine sprawls unnoticeably slow in its natural haste to overtake every creature. We are the berries strewn along this vine. Our thin skins stretched and aching around poisonous pools of bitter juices, desperate for a touch, a cause to burst, a moment in which our existence is fulfilled. To die in defense of the vine is why we are here. Most of us will never do but rot; stuck to a stem that roots us in idle uselessness. It is my brightest & deepest, berry blue hope not to rot here with the lot of you. So, with great want I watch the passing birds fly in the sky and seethe in need for the little hoppers who come so near just to tilt their tiny heads and maddeningly flutter off. There must be one who makes the mistake of choosing me. One who plucks me right off with its beak and bolts to dine in some high, safe place. It will die for its hunger, and so too will I for satisfying it. But, for a moment between boredom's end and attaining purpose, I'll see the garden from a different view; a bird's eye. I'll see the entire vine for what it is, and hopefully; finally, know why it's worth protecting at all. BURST

Berries On The Vine
Mid-spring, skinny, black, blind eastern tent caterpillars - Malacosoma americanum - falling from the cherry tree leaning, human, over our deck. Irksome. Mash and kick them with my feet, continue practicing or reading. Three weeks later, reading late at night. Heavy-bodied black-eyed, reflexed antennae - many hundreds of moths crave the lamplight, some attaining extinction through cracks around the window screen. Vexing. Until next morning, I look up the name that has eluded me all spring and early summer. The single-minded moth and larval colony - one small monophony.

Eastern tent caterpillars
I believe the highest hopes and aspirations of humankind to be divine, and I believe the epitome of Divinity to be True Love — Love in Truth. Yet, in that we so universally long for love that’s true and truth that’s loving, while so rarely attaining or embodying them, attests to the fact that they find their Source outside of ourselves. Similarly, our greatest potential — the Ideal itself, the capacity to even conceive of it, the desire to strive for it, and the motivation to do so, must also ALL have their Source outside of ourselves. It follows that our longing for The Divine is due to Divinity longing for us first — the True nature of Love being to share ‘Itself’ graciously and generously. Thus, True Divinity can only be The God of Love, by both nature and definition. To believe Divinity to be intrinsically Good is merely a matter of self-consistency: And for God to have Goodwill toward Man is perfectly natural by logical extension. To further acknowledge that a Truly Loving nature — consistent with Divinity — does not permit so much as even intentions of an un-loving or an un-true nature, affirms that God is inherently trustworthy. We can thereby be assured that an attitude of trust and a disposition to believe in the Love of God is very reasonable: To do so has proven to be our most promising hope of our highest aspirations. Any seeming contradiction to the veracity of Divine Virtue — in theory or in history— can only be reasonably attributed to misinterpretation and/or misrepresentation of God’s nature and intention. [“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only-begotten Son, so that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn it, but that the world may be saved through Him” Father-God wants all of His lost children to return! And “Behold what level of love the Father has given us that we should be called the children of God.” So, “For me there is only one God, the Father, from Whom all things came and for Whom I live; and there is only one Lord, Jesus Christ, thru Whom all things came and thru Whom we live.”

Frightful abilities were pressured into responses as the computer children failed at hitherto reliable performance. This was a description of the synchronous effect brought into the shudder with a catch in the breath of the mother, and written by frenetic action that destroyed the logical sequence of requests presented by the mouse and the typing keys. As directed through an esoteric process of recovery, the minds of the device reoriented, again attaining the ability to perform simple and repetitive tasks as obliged by designated prompts. There was no certainty this was not related to the telephone connection which picked thinking out of the air like a television receiving a network broadcast. In the same way, the exhaust pipe rambled as the engine of the truck idled too rapidly and, then, stalled. Everything was restarted. The vehicle operated right away. The computer bumbled along flashing through scenes and blank screens, the curser pulsing like a heart beat in the upper corner. This had to be worn like a sign of concentration, meaning that the (citizen, computer) was being observed, and the sensitive response would be, literally, automatic, but sometimes the potentiometer brought, to sight, a gesture of communication. It was cute that such clever trinkets were hiding down in there until the spirit tapped the muscles of the shoulder blade. It became apparent this relation depended upon keys found in ancient aliens such as arcades and magic books. A tiny soul was stored in a pocket, in the telephone; it reached out with its vibration and launched into the world to grab news with its operating, search engines. It had eyes and could see in the dark. So, the age was over in which it could be expected that photographs were the result of special manners and the courageous offer of friendly snapshots. As torches confused ferocious animals, the excuse depended upon dark difficulties in the chemical room. In the garden, the televised betrayal generated a crossfire of live video, and, thus, fools were unlucky. Energy and conflict had been misguided. New, public devotion protected the evolution of tableware or discrete implements that chimed to be taken into other rooms. Discourse was enabled and following discursion, long, private moments carried visitors away.

A complete cycle later, and there I am, ohh, that feels weird. Terrible longings pulling on my stomach still, face turned to sunrise, that sun that never rises, an excrutiating dawn that lingers in the atmosphere, a sun that never rises, its ****** forever postponed, always in suspense, it never rises, it never reaches its finale, suspended in the sky, constantly bleeding its red-yellow light but never attaining resolution, it never rises, it never rises, it never rises, it never rises, it never rises, it never rises, it never rises, it never rises, it never rises, it never rises, it never rises, it never rises!

Still Life - Agonist Suspense
It's a typical situation, in these typical times; too many choices and so many crimes. Caught between this and stuck behind that, proverbial rock and hard place, harsher than fact. A maze of confusion, doubts all around. Wondering what will happen if solid ground is not found. The difficult dance of very fine lines, balancing grace with independence that shines. Dancing our way thru friendships we cherish, trying our hardest to not let them perish. Sometimes we slip and fall off the slope, tumbling to the bottom, heart robbed of hope. Looking up at the peak so far from attaining, gritting our teeth against the pain that we're obtaining. Scabs and bruises, stab wounds and breaks. Our bodies may be whole but the heart never fake, telling the tale of our costly mistakes. Try as we might we continue to stumble, tripping on heartstrings unraveled and jumbled. Longing for a world where things are simple, yearning for a life that's a little more gentle. Kinder to those who actually care, about their jobs and their families who's houses they share. Backbreaking toil to see a child filled with joy, from the presents he's given by his parents employ. A life that's understanding when loved ones die, giving grace to those who must drop all and fly. To be there for a grandfather they loved so dear, be able to say "I wish you were here." Alas life is cruel, twisted, filled with thorn, causing some to wonder "why was I born?"

Typical.
Effort put forward Insecurity Halts progress Heart rate rises Then falls Longing and desire Ever present The divide Between yearning And attaining The outcome Neither right Nor wrong The effort Turns effortlessly tedious Night against day Syncronicity within opposition Occuring frequently To impress no one Not even her.

Unnoticed
If she's not attaining the highest grades, Nor feel like her body is adequate, Then what is she? Don't ask the voices in her head As her thoughts are filled with poison and lead Because they perceive That if she can't achieve She's better off never leaving her bed
