That workaholic lady who's always on call, keeping up with the market fall. That newly married lady with chunky red bangles, returning to her father's big castles. That person who's scared to get lapse, so stays active on the google maps. That person who swings like a kid at the back door, Or the one who perform calisthenics on an empty floor. That next door girl with a red lipstick, flicking her shinny hair & gossiping with her clique, That dreamer gazing outside the window, That overworked soul dozing on his elbow. That 21st century kid, listening to Eminem & playing video games. Or That 90’s kid, listening to Jenga Boys & playing outdoor games. That banker with a big fat stomach, filled with his beautiful wife’s love. That lady who eats like a thief, in her big fat bag hiding a beef. That old man who can’t stand Bombay's winding turns. That granny spotting & criticing  every fashion trends. That man who has Raju Rastogi’s concerns, thinking & chanting for earns & returns. Those kids who believe their job is to fill the voids in a battlefield, in the still crowd surpassing like electrons into a magnetic field. That lady sitting under cold seat like a glacial, than standing with 7kgs in a crowded central, & tryna stay sane listening to George Michael. That geek who switchs from Linkedin to Arjun Reddy, when the masses flee into the scenery. That trader crunching numbers so rapidly, when the stock prices go down hourly. That person on the last seat, diagressing from work & gazing around, soaking in her pashmina, with a career newfound.

*Darkness falls across the land The midnight hour is close at hand Creatures crawl in search of blood To terrorize your neighborhood And whosoever shall be found Without the soul for getting down Must stand and face the hounds of hell And rot inside a corpse's shell The foulest stench is in the air The funk of forty thousand years And grisly ghouls from every tomb Are closing in to seal your doom And though you fight to stay alive Your body starts to shiver For no mere mortal can resist The evil of the thriller* © Michael Jackson

A Red, Red Rose by Robert Burns translation/interpretation/modernization by Michael R. Burch Oh, my love is like a red, red rose that's newly sprung in June and my love is like the melody that's sweetly played in tune. And you're so fair, my lovely lass, and so deep in love am I, that I will love you still, my dear, till all the seas run dry. Till all the seas run dry, my dear, and the rocks melt with the sun! And I will love you still, my dear, while the sands of life shall run.   And fare you well, my only love! And fare you well, awhile! And I will come again, my love, though it were ten thousand miles! Keywords/Tags: Robert Burns, red, rose, translation, modernization, update, interpretation, modern English, melody, tune, seas, dry, rocks, melt, sun, ten thousand miles Original Scots Dialect Poem: A Red, Red Rose by Robert Burns O my Luve is like a red, red rose    That’s newly sprung in June; O my Luve is like the melody    That’s sweetly played in tune. So fair art thou, my bonnie lass,    So deep in luve am I; And I will luve thee still, my dear,    Till a’ the seas gang dry. Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear,    And the rocks melt wi’ the sun; I will love thee still, my dear,    While the sands o’ life shall run. And fare thee weel, my only luve!    And fare thee weel awhile! And I will come again, my luve,    Though it were ten thousand mile. Hugh MacDiarmid wrote "The Watergaw" in a Scots dialect. I have translated the poem into modern English to make it easier to read and understand. A watergaw is a fragmentary rainbow. The Watergaw by Hugh MacDiarmid loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch One wet forenight in the sheep-shearing season I saw the uncanniest thing— a watergaw with its wavering light shining beyond the wild downpour of rain ... and I thought of the last wild look that you gave when you knew you were destined for the grave. There was no light in the skylark's nest that night—no—nor any in mine; but now often I've thought of that foolish light and of these more foolish hearts of men ... and I think that maybe at last I ken what your look meant then.

IF Michael, leader of God's host When Heaven and Hell are met, Looked down on you from Heaven's door-post He would his deeds forget. Brooding no more upon God's wars In his divine homestead, He would go weave out of the stars A chaplet for your head. And all folk seeing him bow down, And white stars tell your praise, Would come at last to God's great town, Led on by gentle ways; And God would bid His warfare cease, Saying all things were well; And softly make a rosy peace, A peace of Heaven with Hell.

The Rose Of Peace
Hymn to Aphrodite by Sappho loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch Immortal Aphrodite, throned in splendor! Wile-weaving daughter of Zeus, enchantress, and beguiler! I implore you, dread mistress, discipline me no longer with love's anguish! But come to me once again in kindness, heeding my prayers as you have done before; O, come Divine One, descend once again from heaven's golden dominions! Your chariot yoked to love's consecrated doves, their multitudinous pinions aflutter, you once came gliding from the utmost heights, to the dark-bosomed earth. Swiftly they came and vanished, leaving you, O my Goddess, smiling, your face eternally beautiful, asking me what unfathomable longing compelled me to cry out. Asking me what I sought in my hopeless, bewildered desire. Asking, "Who has harmed you, why are you so alarmed, my poor Sappho? Whom should Persuasion summon here?" "Though today she flees love, soon she will pursue you; spurning love's gifts, soon she shall return them; tomorrow she will woo you, however unwillingly!" Come to me now, most Holy Aphrodite! Release me from my heavy heartache and anguish; grant me all I request, be once again my ally and protector! "Hymn to Aphrodite" is the only poem by Sappho of ****** to survive in its entirety. The poem survived intact because it was quoted in full by Dionysus, a Roman orator, in his "On Literary Composition," published around 30 B.C. A number of Sappho's poems mention or are addressed to Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love. It is believed that Sappho may have belonged to a cult that worshiped Aphrodite with songs and poetry. If so, "Hymn to Aphrodite" may have been composed for performance within the cult. We do know that Sappho was held in very high regard. For instance, when Sappho visited Syracuse the residents were so honored they erected a statue to commemorate the occasion! During Sappho's lifetime, coins of ****** were minted with her image. Furthermore, Sappho was called "the Tenth Muse" and the other nine were goddesses.

Saturday night, I’m getting crazy as usual, taking pictures of my cats because they just look so beautiful. Yea, some people go out, but I’ve got so much to do, boys line up to take me out on dates but I tell them to shoo. “Who are these guys?” you wonder, but don’t worry about that, you wouldn’t know them because, they’re from a secret, hot guy frat. I stumbled upon it once when I was out doing cool stuff, like dancing with a king, and jumping off of bluffs. Then one day, I jumped right into the hot guys secret lair, and after I landed they could do nothing but stare. I thought that they were looking at the mole on my face, and I was right, but they loved it and begged me to stay at their place. Not for the night, but forever, they didn’t want me to leave, and who can blame them, I’ve got a badass weave. But I had to decline, I just wasn’t ready for that, so they said, “Come back anytime, even if you get fat.” And with tears in my eyes, I bid them goodbye, started my jetpack, and flew off into the sky. I don’t have pictures of any of this because they were burned up in the fire, but I can definitely assure you that I’m not a ***** liar. But anyway, back to what I’m doing tonight, I know that you’ll be jealous, you can’t help it, that’s alright. I’m meeting up with Michael Scott and crew, but that’s not really a big deal, we see each other every day, one time he tried to cop a feel. Well, I may have just imagined that, which is probably pretty weird, But I gave up on normal long ago, like my mother always feared. Which is why I’m sitting here on Saturday night, talking to some cats, who have low self-esteem because the media made them think they’re fat. Those cats on the MeowMix commercials always look so thin, no matter how hard regular cats try, they can really never win. “Don’t worry about it,” I tell them, “Let’s just have some fun.” So now we’re watching TV, because, what else would we have done?

Your smile. . endlessly, my heart  searched for a vibe on another heart with which to resonate and found none. finding none, it  wandered endlessly like Infra-red rays seeking a suitable tempo upon which to strike an interference. i  wandered in search of a fertile land in a heart upon which to grow seeds of love, my head burrowed deep in a shell of restlessness... . but on that fateful day, too-good-to-be-true was your smile--- it caused my eyes to twitch, borrowed a beat from my heart, transforming my thoughts to an ode-- a prelude to better days . i still see that smile, lucid--- your lips opening like windows of love, revealing shiny white louvres of beauty (teeth) which opened to your tongue-- a valley flowing with sweetness as it goes down your palate like a parting curtain welcoming love... then you said "hi". . this friendship began with a smile, it deepened with the " hi" . i have tapped from the happiness let out from the windows of your heart-- your smile.. my heart no longer wanders, in your smile, it found rest . my greatest wish is to make this smile mine someday, plant a kiss on your lips, the happiness that dwells in there becoming a remedy to my malady. . .

If I'm a plumber then she's my princess peach, if she's Zelda, then I'm her Link. If my life was Contra, then she's my Konami Code. Can't you tell ny Lady is the subject of this ode? If she's Curly Brace then I'm her counterpart Quote, Seriously, I'm in love with her if you didn't catch it I left a few notes, If I'm the Belmonts, then she's the vampire killer, if I'm Michael, she's my thriller. If I'm Pac-Man, then she's my Miss If I'm Alucard, then she's my transformation into mist If I'm Kirby then she's waddle Dee, quite frankly this is getting sappy so I'll get to the point. I love this girl more than a stoner loves a joint. (bonus points if you can name all the games referenced, and the Konami Code)

Marvelous A beauty to  Be had His body with its chiseled curves His large hands As I gazed upon him I noticed his perfect form And his very chiseled abs Not a blemish to be had As I touched his pale white body So smooth Almost soft to be exact His hair so full and curls A plenty Who is this beautiful man With perfect form A work of art to be adored Timeless in his form. His name is David. By  Michael Angelo.

Michael Louviere was a man of the people, Who held in his hand a book of the law, And outside his belt a gun for his safety, But never would he have used it for ****** I'm told he helped many but never killed any, But Sylvester Holt did not believe it, He said the actions of one create a whole guilty people, And he took the matters into his own  hands, And killed poor young Michael for serving his people. So I'm sorry young man, you been born with white skin, In a world with the permissions to ****** and to maim, But just to have freedom depends on your name, But if you think its good I suppose ill let you, Work for a cause that is just out to get you, And keeping in line with the others before him, Sylvester took the bait and the hook nearly gored him, But the worm could've lived it was just his misfortune. Sylvester laid down with a bullet in his chest, And the gun in his hand had a burning hot barrel, He assumed death was better than life and life only, But in his last second he pulled out a small knife, And cut in his gun small violent furrow, It was then that he realized this all wasn't worth it, He saw those two notches and handed himself in, To a lifetime of no pain and and unwoken rest.

PICTURE and book remain, An acre of green grass For air and exercise, Now strength of body goes; Midnight, an old house Where nothing stirs but a mouse. My temptation is quiet. Here at life's end Neither loose imagination, Nor the mill of the mind Consuming its rag and bonc, Can make the truth known. Grant me an old man's frenzy, Myself must I remake Till I am Timon and Lear Or that William Blake Who beat upon the wall Till Truth obeyed his call; A mind Michael Angelo knew That can pierce the clouds, Or inspired by frenzy Shake the dead in their shrouds; Forgotten else by mankind, An old man's eagle mind.

Passages on Fatherhood by Michael R. Burch for Jeremy Michael Burch He is my treasure, and by his happiness I measure my own worth. Four years old, with diamonds and gold bejeweled in his soul. His cherubic beauty is felicity to simplicity and passion— for a baseball thrown or an ice-cream cone or eggshell-blue skies. ... It’s hard to be “wise” when the years career through our lives and bees in their hives test faith and belief while Time, the great thief, with each falling leaf foreshadows grief. The wisdom of the ages and prophets and mages and doddering sages is useless unless it encompasses this: his kiss.

A ball player and a thief Will likely be pregnant by age 16. Lives in the ghetto and is poor, Often identified as a ***** Runs fast and does drugs, Hangs around with gangsters and thugs. Has a gun or a friend with one. Speaks in slang, must be part of a gang. Mess with her, she'll pull a Sharkeisha on you. If you were to picture a person of any race, That fits the description that just took place. A baller and **** hmm... what race matches that? Yeah you're right, that person is probably black. Is fast, does drugs, and speaks with slang? Lemme guess, is he also in a gang? A young mother who is also poor? Bet she doesn't know who the dad is, what a ***** All these negative stereotypes associated with being black. Its disheartening, sicking and its really sad. And whats sadder is that if you are the opposite of all of that, You are often told that you're not really black. Does your skin colour change for going to Harvard? Will it change for speaking like an English scholar? Because I play hockey and not ball, does that make me white? So what if I'm the type of person to run away from a fight? You don't have to be irresponsible and rude to be considered black. It's your ethnic background that determines that. And to some people, all we are is the complexion of our face. Light, dark, somewhere in the middle, to some, the bad of a few defines our whole race. Does running away from a cop, and being black give someone grounds to shoot? Why is it that my skin color is what is most important to you? Is asking a question when getting arrested for no visible reason really resisting arrest? Does struggling to break free from restraints to catch my breath, give someone a reason to grab on tighter to strangle me to death? The actions of a few don't define the actions of a whole group. And this assumption that all black are thugs, thieves and liars has done clear damage to, Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Trayvon Martin and so many more. They didn't know it, but just by being black, they put their lives at risk when they stepped out their door. Don't you think it's gotten too far when we have to prove Black Lives Matter, or when we the saying of a movement is Hands Up, Don't Shoot. Should people have to be reminded that blacks are real people and that our lives matter  too? We are athletes and musicians. Lawyers and physicians. The leader of a nation. An anchorman of a news station. We don't all fit into that mold that is preset for us. You can and should expect great things of us. Because we don't have to be a **** or a baller to be considered black. We define what type of black person we are, we determine that.

Abolishing Stereotypes
A ball player and a thief Will likely be pregnant by age 16. Lives in the ghetto and is poor, Often identified as a ***** Runs fast and does drugs, Hangs around with gangsters and thugs. Has a gun or a friend with one. Speaks in slang, must be part of a gang. Mess with her, she'll pull a Sharkeisha on you. If you were to picture a person of any race, That fits the description that just took place. A baller and **** hmm... what race matches that? Yeah you're right, that person is probably black. Is fast, does drugs, and speaks with slang? Lemme guess, is he also in a gang? A young mother who is also poor? Bet she doesn't know who the dad is, what a ***** All these negative stereotypes associated with being black. Its disheartening, sicking and its really sad. And whats sadder is that if you are the opposite of all of that, You are often told that you're not really black. Does your skin colour change for going to Harvard? Will it change for speaking like an English scholar? Because I play hockey and not ball, does that make me white? So what if I'm the type of person to run away from a fight? You don't have to be irresponsible and rude to be considered black. It's your ethnic background that determines that. And to some people, all we are is the complexion of our face. Light, dark, somewhere in the middle, to some, the bad of a few defines our whole race. Does running away from a cop, and being black give someone grounds to shoot? Why is it that my skin color is what is most important to you? Is asking a question when getting arrested for no visible reason really resisting arrest? Does struggling to break free from restraints to catch my breath, give someone a reason to grab on tighter to strangle me to death? The actions of a few don't define the actions of a whole group. And this assumption that all black are thugs, thieves and liars has done clear damage to, Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Trayvon Martin and so many more. They didn't know it, but just by being black, they put their lives at risk when they stepped out their door. Don't you think it's gotten too far when we have to prove Black Lives Matter, or when we the saying of a movement is Hands Up, Don't Shoot. Should people have to be reminded that blacks are real people and that our lives matter  too? We are athletes and musicians. Lawyers and physicians. The leader of a nation.

The Story by Kamal Nasser translation by Michael R. Burch I will tell you a story ... a story that lived in the dreams of my people, a story that comes from the world of tents. It is a story inspired by hunger and embellished by dark nights of terror. It is the story of my country, a handful of refugees. Every twenty of them have a pound of flour between them and a few promises of relief ... gifts and parcels. It is the story of the suffering ones who stood waiting in line ten years, in hunger, in tears and agony, in hardship and yearning. It is a story of a people who were misled, who were thrown into the mazes of the years. And yet they stood defiant, disrobed yet united as they trudged from the light to their tents: the revolution of return into the world of darkness. Kamal Nasser was a much-admired Palestinian poet and Palestinian Christian, who due to his renowned integrity was known as "The Conscience." He was a member of Jordan's parliament in 1956. He was murdered in 1973 by an Israeli death squad whose most notorious member was future Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak. Barak (born Ehud Brog) later ruled as Israel’s tenth Prime Minister from 1999 to 2001. His adopted Hebrew name Barak means "lightning." As a younger man, Brog/Barak was a member of a secret assassination unit that liquidated Palestinians in Lebanon and the occupied territories. In the 1973 covert mission Operation Spring of Youth in Beirut, which was part of the larger Operation Wrath of God, he disguised himself as a woman in order to assassinate Palestinians. The raid resulted in the deaths of two women, one of them an elderly Italian. Two Lebanese policemen were also killed, along with the poet Kamal Nasser. Nasser was the PLO's most prominent Christian and he enjoyed "great appeal" in Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq "both as a distinguished poet and likeable personality." He was the “conscience of the Palestinian revolution,” according to Nazih Abul-Nidal, who worked with him on the magazine Filastin al-Thawra. Nasser “had the most democratic outlook of all Palestinian leaders at the time,” he recalls. He respected opposing views, admired the commitment of young people, and was a major recruitment asset for the Palestinian revolution. “That is why he was put high on the hit-list.” The previous year, the Israelis had murdered another renowned Palestinian writer and activist in Beirut, Ghassan Kanafani, by booby-trapping his car. Nasser’s successor, Majed Abu Sharar, was also assassinated by Israelis, in Rome in 1981 while attending a conference in solidarity with the Palestinian people.

Mirror by Kajal Ahmad, a Kurdish poet loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch My era’s obscuring mirror           shattered because it magnified the small and made the great seem insignificant. Dictators and monsters filled its contours.             Now when I breathe its jagged shards pierce my heart and instead of sweat I exude glass. Keywords/Tags: Kajal Ahmad, Kurd, Kurdish, translation, mirror, shattered, magnified, dictators, monsters, jagged, shards, sweat, perspire, leak, bleed, extrude, protrude, glass The Lonely Earth by Kajal Ahmad loose translation by Michael R. Burch The pale celestial bodies never bid her "Good morning! " nor do the creative stars kiss her. Earth, where so many tender persuasions and roses lie interred, might expire for the lack of a glance, or an odor. She's a lonely dusty orb, so very lonely! , as she observes the moon's patchwork attire knowing the sun's an imposter who sears with rays he has stolen for himself and who looks down on the moon and earth like lodgers.

So I don't think it strange Kurds can fly but not land. They wander from region to region never realizing their dreams of settling, of forming a colony, of nesting. No, they never settle down long enough to visit Rumi and inquire about his health, or to bow down deeply in the gust- stirred dust, like Nali.

Craving your luscious lips right next to mine. Reminiscing the moment when we experienced Cloud Nine. It began with a French kiss, then biting your hard ******* That further progressed to smacking your buttocks, creating small ripples.    As our clothes depart, we escalated the ****** tension with every touch we had marked. Passion so intense, penetrating ever so deep; We grasped the feeling of ecstasy till that moment when we couldn’t breathe. Experiencing love and bliss that felt like an eternity…    How fortunate were we to experience the alignment of our souls unbound. Till the moment we parted ways, leaving memorable traces so profound.    By: Michael M. De La Fuente

Last week, among friends black and white, among some discussion of protests in Ferguson and the related looting of stores, I invoked the word. It was an admission, in a round of confessions, of something about myself that I didn't like: that I had perceived Michael Brown in that way based on his possible participation in a strong-armed robbery. When Travon Martin was in the news, I was inflamed like many others who wanted George Zimmerman in jail for ****** The outcome of that trial was an injustice, I was utterly certain. Why does this case in Missouri feel different? More importantly, Who is inside me that still wants to rise in defiance of 48 years of learning how to be a better person, a person without prejudices, stereotyping, labeling of others, hurtful language? Where is the hippie girl now? How does she live with this other person? Am I Sterling, Gibson, a hater and spewer of viciousness, a lover of separation and separateness, that I should invite damage to my own relationships with those I love and cherish and respect? What is a **** but a bully, and what is a bully but someone who pushes words around like weapons, spits them out indiscriminately, so that they land on the already bruised heart and set it on fire. Whose heart, besides mine, now sits in smoke and ash, with that word like a brand still sore and permanent, having been spoken aloud?

****
He looks like a rasta Preaches no money only peace But smokes no **** He’s been sober all his life Like he just got out of rehab But doesn't mind if his friends smoke a couple trees He breaks it down like a b-boy That might of known Michael Jackson Then belts out American country music In the heart of Africa Designs fashion making Europeans wonder If they should colonize Africa again to get his resources. Neo-colonization anyone? He has small money He lives poor But lives rich Has his own humble home Like the adult he’s been since 15 And loves helplessly like he’s still 15 Despite the bruises the world continues to lash on his never aging soul. Ohhh Those bruises must hurt But he’s trying to heal them with his art He is an anomaly Doesn’t fit here or there But anomalies are perfectly normal They choose to sit in there soul Release truth that needs to be told Because it’s only natural Not fabricated The fabricated Really hates it. The fabricated Still takes a taste of it Because they want that Freedom The fabricated Watch in awe They say no You aren’t allowed to do that That’s a contradiction You’re a paradox Social lines wont let you cross that. Get back in line Get back in line Before we shoot you Because we want your freedom too. He’s been shot a couple times I think his soul is his armor But he lives in a human body So you can imagine he’s not all that bullet proof. Even if his body dies one day I swear his soul will live on. His freedom has no expiration date.
