Behold the One with the Aries, the Ward of Santa Muerte Our 16th President voted by 16 million Filipinos this 2016 The 1st President from Mindanao from being Mayor of Davao…Duterte! He is One with MiJoRdGr (Miriam, Jojo, Rody, Grace) The 4 Opposition Presidentiables who defeated Mar Roxas And brought Liberal Party its great disgrace! The One with the Aries from the Land with War The Land of Promise – feared by typhoons, but filled with goons So from her came a Liberator among MiJoRdGr! That this One should war with our nation’s greatest horrors -Drug Lords, Liberals, Treasoners, Criminals & Terrorists- These powerful entities to our history are desecrators! So by being one with lawmakers, law enforcers & lawful people By the overwhelming power of the Supermajority Our country’s greatest terrors…Du30 shall conquer them all! But first, he must defeat his detractors – Leila, Leni & Trillanes These triple crooks who want to topple the government Are also said to be conspiring with EU, UN & US! Yet with Trump’s triumph, US is no longer an enemy Our American hatred weakened, our Chinese friendship strengthened As it established great friendship with Pres. Du30! Do not emulate the girl power of those Liberal crooks We got an Olympic medalist Heidilyn & Ms. International 2016 But Leila & Leni?...Can only ruin our country…like blasted nukes! Do not worry for we have Pacquiao as still winner & role model Alongwith Gen. Bato, a victim of yellow washing machine But these Pro-Du30 men…to criminals tough, to innocents gentle! May God allow this True Change to take place with continuity Let Pres. Duterte lead us for many more years to come For the Supermajority, for you & me… for our country! -12/30/2016 (Dumarao) *Our Golden Times During PDu30

As life in Israel flourishes For Israelis, it's not so fine-- As many conditions deteriorate-- For the poor people of Palestine. Chances of a two-state solution Dwindle, which is not a good sign As settlement expansions increase, Affecting the people of Palestine. For Palestinians imprisoned in Gaza, The infrastructure is in a decline. Will Gaza be uninhabitable for The poor people of Palestine? Defining what is their land, Israeli Lawmakers draw a hard line: This land belongs to the Jews, they say, Forgetting the people of Palestine. Cuts in economic aid And hospital care will undermine The health and quality of life Of the poor people of Palestine? Will an Israeli apartheid regime Be the ultimate design, Or will there be hope for the poor Struggling people of Palestine? -by Bob B (10-22-18)

But What About Poor Palestine?
We oughtta consider bringing back old-fashioned Gladiator Arena combat as retribution or as a chance at vindication, depending on how well one performs, for those who are most deserving: Those who seek to spill innocent blood or to oppress the masses, the most corrupt Politicians, Lawmakers, Enforcers and Judges, overtly violent supposed "'Protectors", such as Soldiers or Police, the scheming Bankers, that is to say "the House", deliberately misleading Authority figures, whether in news or in the world at large: all the malicious Religious figures, power hungry Narcissists, abusive Demagogues, subversive Tyrants; if these people have a place, it's center stage in a Coliseum with little else aside from one another, their choice of melee weapon and/or shield, some leather armour, and a roaring crowd. Let's not forget the HD cameras with hyper-telescopic lenses so we can see their faces live in 1080p! Maybe even add a few hungry Lionesses from time to time or perhaps some ill-tempered Sharks.. or, a pack of quite irate Wolves. Our Imagination is truly the Limit! We could even run ads in between rounds and sell foam novelty items and overpriced water when it's 115 outside.

Gladiatorial Justice
Absolute abomination is abortion Betraying baby bodies ending up brutally Buried Concluding a life currently forming Death all up in your stomach Energy draining decision, a life ending before a beginning Fetus fates determined by lawmakers lacking empathy God crying at the death of his creation How will you feel when you face the face of those you aborted Ignorance made you feel important Judges slam hammers making decisions to determine the value of a fetus Killing innocent humans not thinking about their futures Life feels pain as those we let go still live within   Mistakes made should never end up in blood No one will know you tell yourselves, but God knows all Opportunities oppressed, always end up leaving you depressed   Pain within makes you go insane, nightmares of old scars Quite homes, cold hearts, broken souls of bodies that were torn apart Raw emotions of killers live in their insecurity, just listen closely   Silence entertains the minds which live in regret from taking lives Tomorrows full of sorrows Unmatched emotions with lovers that went astray Value life and life will value you Weapons forged in your feeble mind tell you to fight for your rights X-rays of broken hearts hidden behind broken bones You played God, you killed to avoid pain, now your soul dies hard   Zest for life diminished as sorrow takes charge

title= With fake and cheap copies of high-end popular designer wears increasing in the market, fashion experts have expressed their concern over plagiarism being on the rise in the industry. "I think it (plagiarism) is an international problem, it is not just an Indian problem. It is said that plagiarism is a form of flattery (as the designs are getting copied). I don't subscribe to it. I am against it," noted designer Wendell Rodricks said. "It took me seven years to patent my name Wendel l Rodricks as a brand. One should look to solve this problem the earliest," he said. According to well-known designer Anita Dongre, the fashion industry should come together to tackle the issue. "Now everything is digital, some of the designs get copied immediately online. All my lehengas are copied. It is sad," she said. Echoing similar sentiments, designer Masaba also feels that plagiarism is the worst part of the fashion industry. "It is sad that there is no control on the copycats...and too many undeserving people are getting recognition and chances to showcase," she said. Masaba is known for her innovative prints and one can often see fake designs being sold at lesser prices. "We are one of the most copied design houses in the country, and you just have to figure it if it eats into your business. If it doesn't, you shouldn't waste your time and money on it," she said. Masaba, however, feels one can take culprits to court. "Legal action can be taken if you have the bandwidth, but the fake market is too huge to tackle and lawmakers are extremely slow to act on it." Wendell also thinks in a country like India, the legal matters pile up and it takes time, which is the sad part. "The amount of time it takes in this country to bring someone (guilty) to court is too much. Ritu Kumar (designer) had taken people to court and won. But it is one of its kind of a case. You need to give that much amount of time," he said. According to designer Gaurang Shah, one should take it as a compliment if their designs are copied. "In a way it is a compliment that others are following you. But it is annoying as you work so hard and the design gets copied. It is a challenge for designers to come up with new ideas," he added.Read more at:www.marieaustralia.com/formal-dresses-2016 | www.marieaustralia.com/formal-dresses-brisbane

When will I understand, And learn to live and work, Dear school will you teach me, In these textbooks I lurk. While Rosa Parks sat still, And Fleming found penicillin, Remember how great they are? Raise our standards, cross the bar! Studying twenty-four hours a day, All work and no play, Why do we do this only for marks, There is knowledge, in the dark. All you make us do, Is derive this and that, In the future in my cubicle, I'll being having पराँठे to get fat. These egotistical teachers, They make me cry, All I hear in the staff room, Is पुलाव and दाल fry. You go on with the system, You go on with the lies, Why don't you let us think! Even we have minds. These benzene rings and oxidation states, Will never help me with taxes, Theoretical imaginary waves & motions, Make me a complete राक्षस! Five thousand equations to integrate, But all we do is differentiate, This religion and that religion, "It's all in my fate!" Why don't we do something, For the ever growing community, Yes, the same society, That doesn't let us break free. Do you ever wonder, Why our country is so poor, There's a shortage of lawmakers, And the government is run by actors. My whole degree will be, A complete joke, No matter how much I study, I'm just the "fresher" bloke. I got ninety-seven percent, In the prestigious class twelve, Yet my IQ is, As much as a बैल! Why do you think eveyone is stupid, And engineers smart, I think studying Humanities, Is a work of art. These teachers think I'm obnoxious, Just because I don't talk, One day I'll prove something, And on their face I'll walk. I can't memorize these problems, Don't forget, I too have a brain, It isn't a big harddisk, But at least, it isn't a grain.

Guns Slick metallic Fully loaded sidekicks A right held higher than most Opinions vary, more or less For laws and restrictions For availability and freedom A country divided, a hot topic debate And while you ponder your side of the fence Remember that the leaders and lawmakers Prefer prayer as a means to relieve such tragedies There is no plan to change how things are There is no answer from the left There is no answer from the right Accepting complacency and prayers Prayers, which have done nothing, not a thing at all.

Complacency of Guns
Consider Socrates, sauntering through Athens Testing his thoughts and his tales on the throngs And think of the first moment of perfect insight they had. From this guru who’d made Reason his song! There in the crowd balanced wisdom and madness But there were those who were raged by a rebellious creed Thinking of innocent youth, corrupted with gladness They fought to bring Socrates to death for his deeds that threatened the state. All admire her name! Athens collapses in to panic. The jury assembles To decide whether Socrates is to blame For the corrupted thing the youth resembles See the lawmakers bring justice to her knees As fate chooses Hemlock for Socrates

In Praise of Rebels
As I pass through the wish e washy Politics of my superficial mind The many false faces My eternal being remains Frustrated by the ineptitude Of my political , dishonest mind As my oceanic being is covered By a sheet of crusty cold ice The great masses in my being Feel disconnected and disillusioned By the elitist aspects of the Political mind who live on top But as I begin to feel my internal council A silence from within vibrates with As the many chattering politicians Scurry and busy themselves I begin to drop deeper, to know My many political shapes How I dream to know the many Characters of my political being As to understand the lawmakers In is to understand my life Where do I find the honest council And who are the corrupt lying voices That whisper in my ear and make Secret deals behind closed doors Far far away from my conscious mind Who is that mischievous characters Always causing trouble the black adder Although I do feel large and honest Politicians within my soul For they all sit around a long table That stretches from my solar plexus Up into my deep open chest Dressed in light blue I hear them Tirelessly working shuffling Their many papers Recording and studying making their Many decisions and communicating With all my many distant parts Finding a new intimacy with my self I unlock many doors within me As I search to please the Great masses within my soul On entering the outside world My being shuffles past the many Black adders with a chuckle As he begins to enjoy Their mischievous ways My political mind becomes Purified by the the emotional Depths of my being , as I am Infused with a deep ocean blue From my bottomless heart As my path in this world Becomes lubricated in a rich oily blue Like a giant blue whale I effortless glide And as I meet the other I stand Within my my golden heart As my depths live on the outside For I carry my heart on my sleave As I search for the other a thousand Golden streams from my heart Descend into me Penetrating all of me To find all my honesty As I seek to unlock the other By unlocking many doors in me The political mind can be mischievous But it can be a great servant When in touch with our deep blue depths And the golden threads leading to our heart

Dear Donald, wait. strike that. You cattle rustler in a black hat, You cheated and you lied to us On just about a daily basis. You made a list of promises Of what you would do for us But you did the exact opposite Meaning not a single word of it. Half of us settled on you to be The man with enough responsibility To make our country great but yet There wasn’t much wrong with it. We can’t say that today, can we? You and your cabinet detest reality. You make claims and even worse Most of what you say is in reverse. Now you’re off kidnapping kids With no shame for what you did. You steal babies and fly them away And charge voters a thousand a day! And if that wasn’t far enough off track You charge parents to get them back. Then you insist someone else is to blame. Ugly man, why no sense of shame? You have taken our country down. You went from an political clown To an arch criminal like we’ve never seen. For decades you smiled in glossy magazines. Now you’re applauding dictators and Your cabinet is a robber baron’s band. You deserve to be put into a prison If any of our lawmakers had wisdom. So, this is your Dear Donald letter Bad motor scooter, and a worse go-getter, Telling you a ferocious goodbye. Take it as a fact, and don’t lie. If there is a bit of integrity remaining, We’ll **** on you and tell you it’s raining.

DEAR DONALD LETTER
800 points down plummeted the DOW: seven hundred billion waiting appropriation from our pockets poor lawmakers have to do their jobs but they hide too deep in trenches they dug panic sets in on Wall Street while Main Street’s been panicked all along the walls are crumbling— this pig’s too big to sit so high above the clouds give the corpse to the masses; Pork: it is what's for dinner my wallet’s thin & thinning by the day & it makes me think money’s worthless, anyway

Abortion for some is a stubborn memory, Mistakes, a mishap, a brutal **** Shameful memories that wasn’t call for Unwanted Fetus, no more abortion Said the lawmakers No more jobs, for the clinics no more work for the undertakers: no more daily entries to birth registry Women, has the right to choose Lawmakers has the power to brutally Say we don’t care: closed all abortion clinics down Let the fetus grows, and become a man And brutally **** again, Lawmakers had the power to choose A ****** can continue to **** and impregnated again: *Charles Dickens (1812–70) QUOTATION: If the law supposes that,” said Mr. Bumble,… “the law is a ass—a idiot. If that’s the eye of the law, the law is a bachelor; and the worst I wish the law is that his eye may be opened by experience—by experience*

The Law Is An ***
I'm not crazy. I'm just broken and hazy on whats truth, and whats lies. Unspoken the feeling of bright colored eyes. I changed with the times, I beat out these rhymes. I don't commit crimes but I want to beat down heaven and bring it to earth, or bring hope to birth but not hope in a pope but hope in this curse of humanity. I want to travel and unravel whats been made. I want to bring home d-day and call a parade or maybe throw a grenade. I just want to **** my mind or just unwind or maybe even... find myself? I really want to find something worth finding. Something worth more than wealth. I don't have all the answers. I just have my truth, that I can't hit undo no matter what I now choose and we all do what we do and if we don't at least try then we're royally ******* So here is what I think. Maybe the answer to "42" is "why not?". Maybe the answer to "we lost" is "we fought!". Maybe "lazy" people are just... broken. Maybe politicians and lawmakers are outspoken! Maybe, being "crazy" is just really knowing more than what we should like, we could be "on that level" but fear in the devil throwing a fit makes us commit to social norms and belief in reform. I will not give into the eye of the storm. I will be reborn and rise like a phoenix up through the ashes and then destroy the classes and will not be undone. I will light up the sky filled with a thousand glowing eyes to brighten the sun. I may die but all will say at least this dog did have his one. Maybe I am crazy. Maybe I'm not. Maybe I lost this battle but I'll tell you what, I fought and I'll fight till the night and day gives me the right to say that I've won.

Question Me Not
In Albion’s realm, where misty moors do lie, ‘Neath ancient oak and silver sky, A question stirs in hearts so deep, A debate where souls and morals meet. In halls of law and homes alike, Where whispers rise and thoughts take flight, Assisted dying’s call is heard, In hushed tones and measured word. Through corridors of time we trace, From Hippocratic oaths to modern grace, A journey long, both fierce and bright, Through shadows cast by life’s last light. In England’s green and pleasant land, Where life and death do hand in hand, A plea for mercy, calm and kind, In final moments, peace to find. For those who suffer, bodies frail, With voices weak and faces pale, A choice they seek, with dignity, To end their pain, to set them free. Yet in this isle of storied past, Where traditions hold and shadows cast, A struggle brews, both old and new, Of ethics deep and justice true. The lawmakers and healers stand, With heavy hearts and steady hand, To ponder laws and futures bright, In sleepless thoughts through endless night. For some do fear a slippery slope, Where lives are weighed with loss of hope, And others see compassion’s glow, In helping those who wish to go. Within the courts, the voices blend, Of those who seek life’s gentle end, And those who guard with fervent plea, The sanctity of life’s decree. In parlours warm and hospital halls, The echoes rise of earnest calls, For choice and freedom, calm and clear, To face the end without the fear. Yet also rings the cautioned cry, Of hasty laws and who decide, For life’s great gift, both pure and bright, Must not be dimmed in darkest night. Oh Albion, with heart so fair, In this debate, take utmost care, For every life, a tale profound, In every heart, a sacred ground. So let the voices blend as one, In search of wisdom, never done, To find a path both just and true, In shadows cast by life’s last view. Through trials hard and thoughts so deep, In sleepless nights and dreams that keep, May mercy guide, with steady hand, In life’s great arc, from birth to sand. Oh, Heavenly Father, light our way, With wisdom’s glow, both night and day, Grant us the grace to choose what’s right, In shadows cast by life’s last light. In Albion’s realm, where misty moors do lie, May wisdom reign and spirits fly, For in this choice, both grave and bright, Lies the soul of mercy’s light.

Oh, Heavenly Father, light our way, With wisdom’s glow, both night and day, Grant us the grace to choose what’s right, In shadows cast by life’s last light. In Albion’s realm, where misty moors do lie, May wisdom reign and spirits fly, For in this choice, both grave and bright, Lies the soul of mercy’s light.

We'd like to think that we could go Out for an evening and not have to worry That we are going to end up being The helpless victim of a gunman's fury. One would think that mass shootings In which so many lives are lost Might compel lawmakers To stop the killings at any cost. When so many shootings occur On American soil year after year, Don't enough people wonder What the hell is happening here? What are people waiting for? How many more victims will die? Must we sit by helplessly While lawmakers turn a blind eye? Another horrific act of violence Occurred at the Borderline Bar & Grill When a solitary gunman Had one thing on his mind: to **** Eleven young people gunned down. An officer shot dead as well. Only survivors who were present Can talk about their glimpse of hell. The killer, too, lost his life From a wound, possibly self-inflicted. Some say in retrospect His actions could have been predicted. No one can fathom the suffering Of the victims' parents, families and friends-- Their heartache and anguish from knowing that Their loved ones met such violent ends. Just two weeks before Thanksgiving! This year it will be a chore To ask the parents staring at empty Seats what they are thankful for. A call to action is the only response To the horror that this nightmare evokes When twelve innocent victims must Lose their lives in Thousand Oaks. Remember the victims: Sgt. Ron Helus (54) Sean Adler (48) Cody Coffman (22) Blake Dingman (21) Jake Dunham (21) Alaina Housley (18) Daniel Manrique (33) Justin Meek (23) Mark Meza (20) Kristina Morisette (20) Telemachus Orfanos (27) Noel Sparks (21) A mother of one of the victims has said, "Here are my words. I want gun control. I don't want prayers. I don't want thoughts." -by Bob B (11-9-18)

If you think Congress is out of step With what the people desire today, Let the candidates hear your voice; It's time to send them on their way. Vote! If the past two years have been A nightmare from which you want to awake, And much of what you valued has been Shot to hell, for goodness' sake, Vote! If honesty and integrity Of a leader are important to you, And you believe in checks and balances, Then you know the right thing to do: Vote! If pre-existing conditions are Important to you, and lawmakers dare To weaken programs such as Social Security and Medicare, Vote! If you care about equal access, That citizens shouldn't have to fight Restrictive laws preventing them From voting, then please do what's right: Vote! If you think our leaders have been Leading us down the rabbit hole, And conflicts of interest and also major Corruption have gotten out of control, Vote! If far-right extremism Has no place in the White House, and when The president praises autocrats And scorns our loyal allies, then Vote! If you want an America That has BOTH jobs and heart, Where the leader's rhetoric Doesn't tear the country apart, Vote! -by Bob B (10-29-18)

Vote!
a brown cardboard home underneath a busy bridge I hear the passing by of tied men and pumped feet popping against the rough cement the whirl of the wind curling in the arch of an underway cuts the air through my ragged clothes not a car zooms by these lonely days and nights I am safe but I am not happy nor sad I do not feel shame and I am not proud the smell of the gutter spill from the city above I take a liking in its never changing smell only the river waves sing me to sleep I veer out into the foggy streets Not an eye sets its stare upon me Only those curious enough to drop a bill or two into my water cup that I hold out to the sky when it starts to rain the river's poison I've seen a man die in it the river runs wild I lost my tattered shoes to it been starving for weeks hoping that the trash man drives by soon he'll drop some litter and I'll be rummaging my stomach will hurt for days but I am satisfied my body keeps running and here in this brown cardboard home I never gave to the ideas of doubts, regrets, greed, happiness, love, ambition or dreams. I slept and I awake I don't feel and I'm undead. I'm torn but I piece myself together I never understood why but why I feared that this might end and someone might take me and put me somewhere new some place where I'm shaven and cleaned to the teeth fingernails and toes given new itchy clothes and a shiny pair of shoes I'll be looked to improvement, pressure to make progress progress to make good change stress to bottle my mind full of senseless thoughts to **** for peace to work for paper to follow rules the lawmakers do not follow to dream but never achieve I think I will go back to my little cheap motel, the brown cardboard love, the home made from less than a single tree and I will be merry to know I don't need those toils I'll spend my day worse than dirt, soiling my life free of turmoils.

I had planned on going out To drink a little too much To bury sense and love Between the legs of lust and sin I stopped at the bookstore In between home and my night of debauchery Drinking money in my wallet Words in my hand I nearly cried Reminded of the injustice That spreads its ugly colors Throughout our human history Just the thought of what so many had no choice but to endure Just to survive day to day The lives lost to hate and ignorance Mothers grieving their children Killed over nothing other than their color The death toll only outweighed by the  burning blood of racism Poets writing greater truths than lawmakers and politicians Words filled with more love and compassion Than the man wearing his false robes of god Preaching condemnation while committing crimes against our children Our ***** history at our fingertips Sitting on the shelf So much horror So many more disgusting stories crammed and pressed between the pages Not enough time in one life to read it all My heart not big enough to forgive it all And the only thing more haunting than the past As I sit and look over these books These lives These minds These hearts Pages bleeding with pain and grief As I look out the window on the second floor Of this store I nearly cry again I see a world still stained Still betrayed by hate I see a world that hasn't ******* changed I leave the store My wallet empty My heart heavy Tears crawling out And I drive back home

Beautiful books of ugly history
Where were you when the good guys lost? When only bad guys got to score? What were you doing to help us win the fight When we needed a few people more? How did it happen that you were so busy That you couldn’t come face them down, And let the people who were elected to lead us Be rascals crooks and scary clowns? Were you locked up in a prison someplace Or in some kind of conflict of your own? Was there a monstrous family schism happening That put all else into the Twilight Zone? Were you unconscious in an ugly coma Through something horrible done to you? Were you lost in a desert for a year or more? Was there some brain freeze you lived through? What could have been so important to you That you could let our country go to hell And fall into a pattern of human oppression That the **** party did so freaking well? What kind of earthshaking civic duty did you see That was more important than our freedom? What kind of social and political madness was it That took the place of your sense of reason? Are you planning to blame other people later When the country we love falls apart? Will you point the fingers at the leaders you chose? And how late will you let that start? Will it be far too late to stop your chosen lawmakers From blocking every effort you or I make? Will you let them swindle, rob and imprison all of us To keep from prosecuting those on the take? Where will you be when we try to fix this mess? Will you be off enjoying wine, women and song? Will you be in a debauched fool’s paradise when The last chance for democracy comes along? Or will you finally do some reading and research To find out where this country went astray? You haven't been able to wake and smell the fear. Maybe you can come to your senses today.

We just gave one more freedom to the government Soon they will have it all And a handful of people will run our lives You will be told what to wear You will be told what to eat You will be told what job to go to each day You no longer control the tv You no longer control the money You no longer control your hot water You no longer control where you live You have no choices, they will be made for you… Knowledge of what is evil has been shredded And reformed as the right thing to do… All those good are now racist, biased, hateful, Terrorists of human nature… definition of love, good, Right, acceptable have been skewed by twisted minds We all fall short – it is how it has always been We all sin – it has always been this way We are drowning in our own mistakes of Who we chose as leaders, decision makers, Lawmakers- they are destroying us Let us look in the mirror and point the finger Of true fault (we let these people take over) And then get on our knees and pray For God, Almighty, Creator and Savior To shake us, make us stand up against All evil… would you rather face man in The end or God? (And yes He does exist!!!)

we've dug a hole...
By: Cedric McClester Russians attacked Our democracy But there’s little interests If you ask me On the part of some lawmakers Who appear to be More interested in The leaks that they see Russians attacked Our democracy But where is the furor Like in Benghazi Something ain’t right And here is the key There’s more partisanship Than there needs to be Russians attacked Our democracy But he’s not upset Like he should be Not the least bit ruffled From what I can see And his attitude Is a real mystery Russians attacked Our democracy And steered an election That we thought was free By hacking emails Of the DNC And leaking them As the case may be Cedric McClester, Copyright © 2017.
