The most important things in life are often those we have to choose from at critical times.  They very often represent and determine the course our life will take and to what extent we have in controlling or shaping it.  With whatever choice we make, opportunities arise and by making the most of these we realise the relative benefits to be gained or otherwise.  Through our committment and willingness to achieve a goal, irrespective of what obstacles there may be or we come across, we move forward and progress is made in our endeavour.  If the goal is something we have set our mind and heart on whatever setbacks or obstacles are encountered should then be taken to be the hurdles to overcome. By repeated experience we learn the necessary disciplines with which to train or involve our mind and body to reach our goal. When we recognise and forego or sacrifice certain habits that are not conducive to our overall progress we release more energy by which to accomplish our end.  By sustained right effort we put in motion the train of events that will bring about the right results, but we should not be too attached to the fruits thereof.  Too much attachment is a cause of blindness, disappointment and suffering.  However with the right mental attitudes including positive thinking and actions we should learn from and leave behind past failures by always striving onwards to our desired objective or set goal. The best way to achieve this end is to include in some way the benefit and good of all those concerned whether they be friend or otherwise which will not be easy but will exhibit a spirit of high ethical standards and character and contribute to endearing oneself to others. _______________________________________________________________

Prose: Achieving Our Goal
The most important things in life are often those we have to choose from at critical times.  They very often represent and determine the course our life will take and to what extent we have in controlling or shaping it.  With whatever choice we make, opportunities arise and by making the most of these we realise the relative benefits to be gained or otherwise.  Through our committment and willingness to achieve a goal, irrespective of what obstacles there may be or we come across, we move forward and progress is made in our endeavour.  If the goal is something we have set our mind and heart on whatever setbacks or obstacles are encountered should then be taken to be the hurdles to overcome. By repeated experience we learn the necessary disciplines with which to train or involve our mind and body to reach our goal. When we recognise and forego or sacrifice certain habits that are not conducive to our overall progress we release more energy by which to accomplish our end.  By sustained right effort we put in motion the train of events that will bring about the right results, but we should not be too attached to the fruits thereof.  Too much attachment is a cause of blindness, disappointment and suffering.  However with the right mental attitudes including positive thinking and actions we should learn from and leave behind past failures by always striving onwards to our desired objective or set goal. The best way to achieve this end is to include in some way the benefit and good of all those concerned whether they be friend or otherwise which will not be easy but will exhibit a spirit of high ethical standards and character and contribute to endearing oneself to others. _______________________________________________________________

Before he dies, he wants two blue-eyed daughters. Wild, young, mesmerized spirits who dance in pajamas, put makeup on the dog, skip around strangers on the sidewalk and believe in one true love. Their souls already live in his heart and contribute, almost fully, to his emotional breakdowns and softened view of the world.

Two blue-eyed daughters
O me! O life!… of the questions of these recurring; Of the endless trains of the faithless—of cities fill’d with the foolish; Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I, and who more faithless?) Of eyes that vainly crave the light—of the objects mean—of the struggle ever renew’d; Of the poor results of all—of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me; Of the empty and useless years of the rest—with the rest me intertwined; The question, O me! so sad, recurring—What good amid these, O me, O life? Answer. That you are here—that life exists, and identity; That the powerful play goes on, and you will contribute a verse.

Worthless
A few days ago I was asked to describe the person I‘m in love with, And to my own surprise, I didn‘t really know what to say. Of course I could have talked about your attitude to laugh at really bad comedy, or how you randomly start singing songs And how you run like a toddler And walk holding on to your bag with your hands in your pockets, crumbled inside yourself, And how you never talk about it, but you miss your father, And how you get so happy when there‘s an upcoming concert, And how you told me you were planning on only wearing band clothes (and I didn‘t tell you, but you made me so happy), Remember? Or how you crack jokes no one understands, And how you fall in love with so many songs and musicians, Or how you sit on chairs the way others sit on the floor, Or how you sometimes scribbled song names on your books because You knew I was going to look at them and because You wanted me to listen to your songs, And how I‘ve never seen someone who found that much freedom in dancing drunk, Or how you just lay there and observed people instead, And I could go on and on, And I‘m not saying that those reasons aren‘t good reasons to love you, Or that they don‘t all contribute to my broken heart, Because they are and they do. But what I didn‘t remember a few days ago, Was the reason why I keep falling in love with you; The reason why I think I could have loved you forever. I didn‘t remember all the good things you do to others without ever letting them know, Simply to make their life better. How you pick their drunken noses, And make up their mistakes or talk people out of hurting them, How you‘re always there to catch others, No matter how hard you yourself are falling, Or how you stayed awake and talked with me countless nights because I was too sad to fall asleep. I want the person who‘ll love you to know that you might not show it, But you do care. Never assume that she doesn‘t love you, Or that she doesn‘t care, because probably she cares a lot more than You think. Just be patient. And love her. And give her the time she needs to open up to you, even if it‘s an eternity. She deserves it.

My life is like a river winding down unto the sea and if you sail my waters then you can get a look at me I may not be the greatest of the rivers which have been but you'll never find a body that is more proud or genuine Starting at my source My family and home filling me with substance as I flow off on my own my water, crystal-clear alive with plant and fish and to always be that way is the one thing that I wish Friends contribute water and it helps me as I grow Flowing ever deeper running faster as I go Some would irrigate me but i'll never be contained others hope to **** me but I cannot be restrained Raging with my water sometimes my borders overflow as I give back the sediment thad borrowed long ago my water moving mountains slicing channels through the land I may not be the greatest but my canyons have been grand When I wished to merge another river I did find and at once our separate waters had forever been combined Our banks were overflowing from the substance that we shared and so we pass it on into the rivers we did bear Meandering through life My river not as deep My water not as clear and my angle not as steep But my inside still is living and that's how I will always be Until my waters do depart me when I flow into the sea.

Why in Baste Eyes my Form checks expect Yet cast my Security for his Expense Which, I suppose, that Report I prefect Was a File un-welcomed for my Good Sense Though, I assure, was all to contribute For his Sweets added to his Nationed Chest That, to chillax, take Tidbits absolute And brisk the New Day for his Talent's Best Now this, resolved to wax Slime and Conflict Thus put my Loyalty to Terms reset More fruitful, more pruned, from Pride's Tome inflict Then this Orrery - strike Rocks to Sky's bet. In turn perhaps recover from this Fling On Muted Clouds do those Falcons still Sing.

SONNET TRIBUTE SUNDRY - NINETY-THREE - TOM DALEY: M'AM DEBBIE DALEY - REASONS
The tavern roof was smokey with a pall of blueish ash. The juke box was a- booming as it played "The Monster Mash". A giant puffed a burning witch whilst smoke rings he exhaled.... While victims of our neighbor, Vlad...on stakes were all impaled. The Faceless Man was grinning... from ear to missing ear. The hanged man turned his twisted neck to sip a mug of beer. The Headless Horseman shouted for an aspirin or three. He popped them down his gullet where his head was meant to be. The zombies waited tables and the werewolf tended bar. Mothra was the carhop and took orders car to car. Godzilla worked the griddle and served burgers ala carte. Dracula complained about the steak caught in his heart. Ghosts and ghouls were dancing with abandon on the stage While cyborgs did "the robot" 'cause they thought it was the rage. The mummy came unraveled as we took him for a "spin" As Frankenstein played tuba to contribute to the din. Igor brought "the monster" and then Freddie brought his claw. Jason brought his butcher knife and his buddy from "The Saw". The guillotine was working and the raven refereed So nevermore would pardons be allowed to intercede. The pendulum was swinging to the beating of my heart. I hoped that I would wake up soon... then did so...with a START! Halloween is coming.  So, I guess I should prepare. Watch out for bars with men from Mars... 'cause BEASTIES party there!

The Tavern of Terror
Yes This is a diary of a child With a biological age of 5 To this world She may be an ordinary one But at the age 3, she got matured Started to identify the space Where she can contribute She learned, how to take care of self, when parents are out how to be patient, when belly left half filled how to do parenting, when her sister cries how to be happy in small things how to struggle for survival Her way of life shows At the age of, 3, she was like 25 years responsible 4, she was like 35 years responsible 5, she is like 50 years responsible 24 hours a day, she is on duty 7 days a week I asked myself, what is childish? That responsible 5 years child, passing through Or the 50 years old, irresponsible one?

What Is Childish?
(Philosophy) There are two main emotions, love and fear. Love is understanding, and it gives us courage. Fear comes from the lack of understanding, and it makes us nervous/afraid. I learned that I used to seek love from people by wanting to control the way they perceive me. I wanted them to know that I could relate to, or understand them more than I may actually do. But, if I kept doing that, that would be foolish, no one understands another entirely, only through similar experiences, but never exact. It’s not fair to the individual. The goal isn’t just to connect with what’s similar, but also (maybe even more so) to connect with what’s different. People fear difference, because they don’t know what it may bring. That could be a result of society’s teachings for centuries. Racism wouldn’t exist if we as humans loved difference. Apparently we feel safe with what is familiar. Why “Curiosity killed the cat?” Why not “Curiosity isn’t a sin, but should be proceeded with caution.” Those who seek due to curiosity are open minded. Those who follow the ways of the world or rules are more judgmental once they spot something out of the ordinary. This is where insecurity comes from, because of this programming that if we are not the same, we should not belong. Saying “love yourself” almost limits you, that’s like saying the rest of the world is like this, but focus and ‘accept’ what you are. We shouldn’t just teach people to love themselves, what if that can be a side effect from teaching people how to love difference in others. We should say that every single individual has the power to contribute to improvement, expanding knowledge, and a way of living from the power that their own individuality brings. It’s not how we are similar. It’s how we are different.

She is like water running through the valley drifting through the rocks the rocks make unable to move unable to grow unable to flow Takes away her ability to contribute, but, Water is meant to flow to the Ocean, Not to be contaminated, By the pollution of your opinion. She is like water surrounded by things still finds ways crashing every barrier comes in her way She want to rehydrate the minds, That have been compressed, That have been dehydrated, She want to refresh the dry ideology. She'll nurture the barren land of old thoughts .

Just because you have kids doesn't mean you are a man it just means that you are old or mature enough to contribute to humanity's population(if that is even the case) just because you have muscles doesn't mean you are a man it just means that you are strong enough to do physical labor for humanity just because you have tons of girlfriends doesn't mean you are a man it just means that you are in a stage where courtmanship is at it's peak for the benefit of humanity just because you have tons of money doesn't mean you are a man it just means that you have contributed something to humanity in which you are getting pay for it just because you went to war doesn't mean you are a man it just means that you had enough respect for the country and your family and consequences were dealt to you because of humanities behavior the list of masculinity traits can go on and on masculinity is primitive femininity is evolving and it is time for men to stop indulging in their primitive ways for the survival of humanity.

Writing a poem. There are lots of things that contribute to the outcome, the poem. -Certain words hold a hard to describe sensation to them, they're made to evoke some feelings and also give a sense of unique kind of rhythm. Had the writer used a synonym, it wouldn't have the same impact on the reader. He's like mysterious chemist adding proper ingredients to his mixture to make it work perfectly. -The way a writer constructs the poem leads to rhythm as well, how he decides to start a new verse that divides a sentence, the way he locates words - or even blank spaces - on the surface of sheet - the field of his performance - it all contributes to the creation of imagery. Therefore, we can see that creating a poem isn't just writing words. It's how you put them together, too. A poem that's being created, sometimes slightly wanders away from the realm of plain writing - and goes beyond.

Thoughts#17
I'm a realist, mildly an idealist. My ideas create a mindset that allows me to express feelings But I built up a wall, high as a skyscraper..I stand, as a realist I know if I jump, I'm bound to meet my maker. I don't think idealist are weak. I just think they escape the honesty they seek. You don't walk a straight line in order for you to finally reach your peak. Obstacles come and go, water is a need if you want to grow, you can't have a lightbulb without an idea and expect it to magically glow. I know every action I do and especially when I am wrong but, I just won't rewrite all my wrongs, they inspire all of my greatest songs. Optimistic that I'll make it, I just need more effort than 50 percent because you get what you put in, as a realist I know if you put in half, half back is all you will ever get. People remember your mistakes, the heroics they just simply forget. I can't stand when people think it's okay to live a life without any regrets. *Sure things happen for a reason and karma "may" have your enemies morally bleeding, but your ideology sounds misguiding and thought process misleading. Karma is an excuse to allow a higher calling contribute to your spiteful abuse, you don't want the crime on your soul so you allow the angels to fatally shoot. It's fine, before we die, we all commit a crime. Women **** men steal, just being in love should require you to do time.* Born a realist sinner...far from an idealist winner Success doesn't come over night The sweet life doesn't come until after you've made your dinner..and cleaned the plate, but we're never satisfied...nah, we going to probably eat again late. Work hard for the dream, don't just rely on faith. A realist knows she may not show up, even when you scheduled a date. It's all love to the victims, stuck in a fiction. If you hate this piece...your ignorance got you unable to listen. Not my problem though. I'm speaking without any permission! I like that idea...oh **** wait...I think I just become my own contradiction? ...forget it, I'm healing, my words and unpredictable wisdom, I am still dealing. Insanity is a fear that is expressed towards you when others have confusion A realist, an idealist..no one is right...our concepts to each other seem all an illusion. -Dougie simps

One morning, I decided to ask people what their favorite myth is. I asked them what myth did they think was the greatest, and the one that made a huge impact on them. The most interesting one, the myth that would keep you wanting for more. Some people said vampires, some people said dragons, some said the origin of the world, and of course, most of them said the famous Greek mythology. And I asked some, what myth do they think is the most unlikely thing to happen, what is the myth that will never be real? And I was taken aback when some said their favorite myth was **** culture, followed with laughter. As if it’s a myth, as if it’s fiction, as if it’s something that isn’t real. **** culture is a myth. It’s not real. It’s not happening. Apparently, it’s just a work of fiction for some people. Apparently it is a myth when it’s happening everyday. It is a myth when you report it to them, and instead of asking “Are you okay?”, the first question they will ask is “What were you wearing?”. Because your skirt was the reason, your sleeveless top was the one that gave them permission. And when you told them you were wearing sweatshirt and pants, they will ask you “Were you drinking?”. When someone took away something that is yours without consent and you’ll be the one blamed. Because you were wearing shorts, because you were drinking, because you were just outside. *When we teach women everything about not getting ***** but we don’t teach men to simply not **** When our bodies are nothing to you but to objectify. When you see us and think the word sexualize.* When they asked you whether you said no or stop, and if you didn’t, you liked it. It was consensual. But you never said yes, and it’s not **** right? It is not real when people shame the victim, when the help people are giving you are words such as **** ***** and instead of calling you a survivor you will be known as “the girl who was asking for it”. *It is a work of fiction when nothing happens to the ****** or when some even refuse to call that person a ****** You will see headlines describing him as an athlete, as someone who has scholarship, any good thing but ****** *It is a myth when the ****** runs free, but the victim is still suffering and constantly being shamed. It is a myth when the world thinks men who are getting ***** are weak men, when they don’t think the consent of men are also important.* When people continue to joke about something that can ruin someone else’s life. Apparently all of these things aren’t real, these things aren’t happening. But how could one person even think that **** culture is a myth? That **** culture doesn’t exist? *It’s not like the trojan war, because it’s far more chaotic. It destroys and kills people. It lets bad people win and victims suffer. It’s not like vampires who don’t sleep and **** people’s blood, instead this is even more dangerous than vampires. This normalizes something dangerous, something horrible.* And the people who do it, who contribute to it, and who do nothing to stop it? Are worse than monsters in mythology. And why would we even call it a myth when we learn something good in myth? When myth teaches us something good in life? **** culture is not a myth, **** culture is happening everywhere. *When you turn on the television and see comedians joking  about **** when people call the **** victim they know a **** when people don’t believe someone when ***** reports it to them, when until now, **** is still considered inevitable.* **** culture is not a myth, **** culture is real, **** culture is happening. And they say **** culture is part of the reality that we have to face, but what do we do to things that bring us no good? To things that damage our reality? *We do everything we can to stop them, to destroy them, to crush them. And that needs to happen to **** culture,*  now.

When all contribute, the Group benefits; when some take extra, the Group suffers. If everyone pulled their weight (whatever the **** that means) than anything extra pulled would be pure progress, would it not? It would, at least, be possible by any to pull whatever extra they felt was necessary. I don't know. The logic seems sound. This sounded better in my head, but, this way, even the non-psychics can get in on the thought!

I know what I know, and I don't know what I don't know. Let all who know tell me about what I don't know. Check your self and let me know what you want from me. The whole world is not really good or bad place. It is a mystery that you cannot fathom. To play your own game and win must be your priority. Life is about risking and sharing the gifts, talents and abilities you were endowed with and finding your place in the scheme of things, and to leave your signature and fingerprints in the canvas of life. It is about opening up with love, kindness and compassion and be generous in nature. To lavishly share your life and contribute in abundance the blessings you were gifted with. It is about transforming yourself into an exulted being you were created to be. To find the balance that centers you. It's about daily discovery of your innate dormant natural endowments and how to safely use it to your advantage and the benefits of mankind. It is about opening up like the rose flower, sharing your fragrance. ©2018,Emeka Mokeme. All Rights Reserved.

SHARE YOUR FRAGRANCE
Your life consists of working hard hours, for not enough pay, hard days Good, great people But nothingness consoles you at the end of the day Nothing to live for and nothing to fight for You have become a waste of space You don't contribute You second guess You All the time fighting the same battles Your heart, your tongue, and your liver, your mind set and your waist line You are so far removed what you wanted ten years ago Fell into a pattern of pay cheque to pay cheque Living through decisions and then later, they're regrets You need a huge change. It is scary, but dockside was the best decision you have ever made Step outside, from your shredded sheltered comfort zone, and branch out a little more Do what you always knew you were born to do! Go take photographs, that mean something Make your life important again Not another bottle and not another regret Do what you want to do! Go to war, take pictures Make your life mean something

whisky letters, to my sober self
None of it seems meaningful. Why waste time scratching on a page, when it all feels like garbage? I need to convince myself, before anyone else, that it matters. That I matter. Because, I do, I guess. Don't I? Certainly I must. Why else would awesome people, amazing people, phenomenal people, give a **** about me? They matter, so logically speaking, I must. It doesn't matter if what I say feels useless or self-serving. It matters, because I matter. Because people that matter love me. And I love the, And isn't that really why anyone matters? To love, to care, to contribute? Love, love above all else, is truly what matters. What makes life worth living. What makes us all matter.

For the first time on campus, Sisters on the Runway will strut and pose for domestic violence awareness. Sisters on the Runway will be hosting its first annual fashion show from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. tonight in the Business Building. All proceeds will be donated to the Centre County Women's Resource Center, Layla Taremi president of the organization, said. Sisters on the Runway is a national student-run organization that raises awareness about women and children who reside in domestic violence shelters. There are over five chapters throughout the nation, each supporting the same cause to local shelters. It was founded in 2009 and has grown since then, Taremi (sophomore-marketing) said. Aside from the fashion show, which is the biggest fundraising event that the organization hosts, Sisters on the Runway is also responsible for other events. The organization hosts a chalking event where they write facts about domestic violence on sidewalks using chalk. This is a way for them to raise domestic violence awareness, Taremi said. It also hosts a walk where all participants walk a mile in heels for awareness. The show will consist of eleven female models and three male models, Edie Alexander, the event planner, said. Alexander said the show is expected to showcase clothing from Connections, Dwellings, Diamonds and Lace Bridal and Harper's, who are also their sponsors. Looks Hair Salon will be responsible for hair and makeup for the models in show, Taremi said. "There is no theme for the show,” Taremi said. “It will be a wide spectrum of clothing." The male models are expected to walk the runway showcasing suits and tuxedos, Taremi said. Originally the show was not going to include male models. It wasn't until the owners of Harper's decided to contribute to the show by donating some men's apparel for the fashion show. All the models participating have been building up their confidence for the runway, Alexander (sophomore-recreation park and tourism management) said. "I'm excited for our first annual fashion show, I hope this brings more awareness to the Penn State community," Vice President Lauren Shearer (sophomore-supply chain management) said. The organization’s goal is to get a lot of people involved through different events to help raise awareness of domestic violence, Shearer said. "We’re trying to push people to come, not just Penn State students, because it's not an issue that doesn't only affects college students,” Alexander said. “It affects everyone as well."Read more here:www.marieaustralia.com/long-formal-dresses | www.marieaustralia.com/formal-dresses-adelaide

A mother’s limited knowledge of food choices, You can hear the kids’ voices, They want food, Screaming are the broods, They seek healthcare The little scared children. They could not afford to feed them properly as babies, And cannot afford it now, the ladies. “We are begging the government,” The worried mothers say. The widespread poverty, Lack of public safety in the North, Guns are everywhere, And violence is getting worse, All contribute to The plight of mothers Who want their children to be happy like others’. “We are begging the government,” The worried mothers say. Poor infant development, Premature death, Babies gone before they took a breath. Kids are not being vaccinated, And bad conditions are created. Malnutrition, All affect mothers and their Precious offspring. “We are begging the government,” The worried mothers say. PforR, The British government, And PATH, Put all of their efforts to make sure Kids are being treated. But still, Healthcare providers the country leave, And mothers are left with no relief, With no regret of leaving millions of starving kids, They fly to the beautiful turquoise skies, In order to get one more dollar an hour, They think it gives them power. “We are begging the government,” The worried mothers say. The mothers don’t give up, They want to be educated, Money has to be donated. With only technology, they can do it. The access, the supplies, the needed budget, and commitment, Will help children get the best treatment.

They warned us not to worry, Just do our best in school; Those worldly professionals, Taught us work-to-rule. They did a few case studies On twins from day of birth; There's a fifty-fifty chance, A will be born first They are urban fighters, Of fire, crime and blame; They live in high rise condos, They return from foreign lands. They  wait over subway vents, Their hearts and heads are bent; They show-up in walk-ons, They go without for Lent. They fly in and out of space, They don't identify with race; They're picked up for vagrancy, They dance cautiously in the street. They volley warning shots Across our private dreams; They sign and seal a peace accord They're sincere to a degree. They contribute to the run-off, And spiked our holy water; They enlisted Moms and Dads, Then slaughtered sons and daughters. They made rings from ivory, And pale lamp shades from skin; They list dissipation As a personal sin. Then they did unholy things With wood and nails, then atoms; They tore at our goodly earth, Wreaked havoc with their mapping. They distilled our alcohol, Made smoking so appealing; Then they rang the tower bells, And preached we had no feelings. They dug deep for wishing wells, Grew stuff to **** our germs; They bestowed us rods and reels, And spades to dig our worms. They connected us Through wireless touch; They counseled us on loneliness, And the traps of busyness. They pronounce death is art When they hang it on a wall; Then blame it on our women, In a scene based on our fall. They're newsy opaque, In love or hate; They are the ambiguous, The they, them and all of us.

wreaths: hand in my lap back to the precious fears we thought we stored so far from here grit my teeth punch the wreath it falls and leaves scatter across the floor i wonder if this is a metaphor i smirk and slam the door as more begins to fall, it is leaves galore get a broom to sweep the mess when suddenly i must confess its too much of a hassle to rearrange the disengaged let it fend for itself, not much to do for such state of health not even a reboot could contribute gems and jewels, they too shall be tools for the wealthy doesn't feel such grief as do these cheap wreaths attached upon a staple-piece that was never meant to be combined, we all will know it in time.
