"morale" poems
Dear America, Do not call my generation stupid. We were the first group of kids to learn a computer. Think about that society: A group of kids learned this intricate machine. Yes, I'm talking about the O.G. Apples with the green type where you had to save with a floppy disk and if you put a magnet to the screen it went purple forever. Yes those, same kids grew up and created everything you see before you now. Everyday. Do not call my generation ignorant. In a short time span of years, as children, we learned about oral relations with interns and terrorist attacks. From Clinton's impeachment to the World Trade Centers/Pentagon/Flight93 Somerset. As children we learned; emphasis on the children part. Our minds grew knowledgeable of a world at hand long before society gave us credit. We grew up. Do not call my generation lazy. When we were sixteen and just received our license, gas rose to the highest it had ever been in our country's history. We got underpaid and  disrespected jobs: cleaning up bathrooms and serving your foot-longs. The ability to travel on our own, it was our new found freedom. Like the early travelers roaming new found lands: Our wings were spread. Do not call my generation weak. We are the same group of people who entered college or the workforce with the worst economic fall since the Great Depression. You ask, "What did it do to you?" Buried us in more and more debt until it consumed our life. But, we became enlightened. We majestically thrived in the chaotic times by finding out who we are, what we are capable of and that life will take us our journeys before we even see it coming. The light still shines even when you are buried the deepest. It does not matter what you throw at us next. We will rise and conquer. It's the world's hidden secret. I'm proud to live in this time. I hope you are too. Never giving up is our morale. Respectfully, THE PERENNIAL MILLENNIALS. cc: (No HashTag Necessary)

Jo mere dil mein tu basi hai, (If inside my heart you reside,) Toh zindagi ki har khushi hai, (Then I have all happiness in life,) Na jaana – Na jaana jaanam mujhe chhod ke, (Don’t leave me alone,) Na jaana – Na jaana mera dil tod ke… (Don’t ever break my heart…) Tum se hi mera hausla hai, (My morale is from you,) Tum se hi har faisla hai, (From you each of my decisions,) Tere bagaer zindagi, begaani… (Without you my life is, stranger…) Tere bagaer zindagi, veerani… (Without you my life is, emptier…) Tum se hi jaana pyaar kya hai, (I have known love after knowing you,) Tum se hi nayi zindagi hai, (Knowing you only I have a new life,) Tere bagaer zindagi, begaani… (Without you my life is, stranger…) Tere bagaer zindagi, veerani… (Without you my life is, emptier…) Jo mere dil mein, tu basi hai, (If inside my heart you reside,) Toh zindagi ki har khushi hai, (Then I have all happiness in life,) Jo tu nahin toh, kya zindagi hai, (If you aren’t here, what my life is,) Jo tu nahin toh, kya zindagi hai...

Jo Mere Dil Mein
I truly believe that one of the reasons that the US is despised and condemned world wide is because of such views on such characteristics as: honesty, integrity, independence(this includes not thinking in a collective mindset which we do as a culture, everything is apple or windows, pepsi or cola, republican or democrat, people need to think for themselves stop claiming and just be), persistence, determination, morale, empathy, tradition/heritage, learning, chivalry, discernment, and humility. Instead of utilizing and perfecting these people of this nation and similar one's have become: prideful, dependent, drive-less, imprudent/unwise, insulting, ignorant(willfully so), objective, biased, crude, mediocre, and surface oriented. In turn we have neglected the responsibilities we have of ourselves. This has resulted in physical, mental, and spiritual capacity regression on a mass scale. Most people have no idea what they are consuming in their daily dietary intake(I mean really know what all the ingredients are and what they do whether positive or negative). Most citizens have also become, literally and according to the United Nations Education Scientific and Cultural Organization, mentally incapable and completely inane as compared to even 15yrs ago. We have forgotten how to have a community to the point that neighbors don't know each other anymore. We have exchanged the truly important things in life like knowledge and wisdom for wealth and appearance. We have completely forgotten how to survive without the aid of water treatment, electricity, and useless objects. One of the worst of all things we have stopped doing, is being involved with our government; instead, we have put our trust in them without oversight, and this is why we have been losing our liberties. I believe, just like Benjamin Franklin stated, that any individual who sacrifices even one liberty for safety/security... deserves to have all of their liberties eradicated. In conclusion, it is time to return our societies to ourselves. We need to relearn the truly important things in life and start living with ourselves, each other, and nature as we must to thrive. It is on us as a people to repair what generations before us, and our generations are doing; lest, I am afraid, our children and grandchildren will inherit the same ideals and expand upon them until we regress to the point that insolence, ignorance, and imprudence is the common norm... we have already begun to accept these. Open your eyes to the truth, at first it will be painful and difficult, but than you will be set free. WE THE PEOPLE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR FUTURES AND CHILDREN'S FUTURES.

12-17-2013 The constant chatter lowly, gathering attentions apprehension--that's the matter thoughts are shattered the noise: rushing, crushing, bustling in and flushing out all rationale growing louder, shouting over morale and one who can no control it, cowers, trying hard not to a persevering temperament, one who silences the sounds of increasing volume madness boomerangs again; pain returns once again.

Noises on the plane
Freedom flings Tyrant kings Into their rightful place A head on a plate Democracy inflates The morale of the people Oligarchy deflates The idea that we're equal Spiteful dictators make their way through the system And dominate the world while nobody listens Distracting people with things that glisten Disseminating hatred as their vision Engendering fear is their mission To buy or sell weapons For more money or more power Dropping bombs from their ivory tower From extreme explosions we cower Explosions of hatred then violence Explosions hastened by silence Explosions of fire we ferment To burn the faces off our enemy To avoid exercising our empathy Creating a world filled by entropy People say ******** like freedom isn't free When the currency we pay for freedom Is restriction We dampen our fiery feelings With prescriptions Freedom is free It's inherent It can only be taken or given away It is not a proper excuse to slay Those that rightly disagree With what you're imposing Freedom is fleeing far far away When people are molded by clay Of those with the power to shape civilians Of those with the power to bring billions Of people to their knees When freedom is our fee To live in timid apathy

Freedom
She is the lady on the road. She is a mother, a sister, a colleague, a bird, a lassie, a damsel. She is the lady on the road. She spreads love and enriches kindness in the society, She is the crux of an organization, and the fundamental principles. She is the lady on the road. She twinkles with the stars and shimmers with the moon, She scampers with her pets and hops like a frog, She is not a nomad, but a faithful keeper. She is the lady on the road. She wears short skirts, She wears tight tops, She doesn't encourage the flirts, She neither abominates the leering of cops. She is the lady on the road. She holds a honourable reputation, She forms the base of ethical standards, She buries the grudges and resolves the dissension, She consolidates herself and maintains her fettle, She is the epitome of cheerful disposition. She is the lady on the road. She ignores the catcalls, She endures the torture and prevails her morale, She is a monument unshakable, and a stone unbreakable, She dumps her burdens and enlightens her destiny, She protects her dignity and negotiates with denunciation, She does no harm, but deals with it. She is the lady on the road, ..the seventh wonder of the world.

Misfit Angel , the seventh wonder.
sleepless nights, man these emotions ain't making me feel right. one day I could be feeling my best, but the next minute I could be a mess. Feeling ecstatic one minute and then fall into another rut the next, the cycle is infinite. When was the last memory of a sweet dream? These few days I've awakened only to be covered in sweat. Vivid dreams that torture me in my sleep and life that stresses me in my wake. My morale and soul feel weak, just how much more can I take? I just need a break, time to myself and more time to write. Maybe take a trip, run my fingers over every spine on a bookshelf and remind myself that I'll be alright.

GREED GREED GREED
Un vieux renard cassé, goutteux, apoplectique, Mais instruit, éloquent, disert, Et sachant très bien sa logique, Se mit à prêcher au désert. Son style était fleuri, sa morale excellente. Il prouvait en trois points que la simplicité, Les bonnes moeurs, la probité, Donnent à peu de frais cette félicité Qu'un monde imposteur nous présente Et nous fait payer cher sans la donner jamais. Notre prédicateur n'avait aucun succès ; Personne ne venait, hors cinq ou six marmottes, Ou bien quelques biches dévotes Qui vivaient **** du bruit, sans entour, sans faveur, Et ne pouvaient pas mettre en crédit l'orateur. Il prit le bon parti de changer de matière, Prêcha contre les ours, les tigres, les lions, Contre leurs appétits gloutons, Leur soif, leur rage sanguinaire. Tout le monde accourut alors à ses sermons : Cerfs, gazelles, chevreuils, y trouvaient mille charmes ; L'auditoire sortait toujours baigné de larmes ; Et le nom du renard devint bientôt fameux. Un **** roi de la contrée, Bon homme au demeurant, et vieillard fort pieux, De l'entendre fut curieux. Le renard fut charmé de faire son entrée A la cour : il arrive, il prêche, et, cette fois, Se surpassant lui-même, il tonne, il épouvante Les féroces tyrans des bois, Peint la faible innocence à leur aspect tremblante, Implorant chaque jour la justice trop lente Du maître et du juge des rois. Les courtisans, surpris de tant de hardiesse, Se regardaient sans dire rien ; Car le roi trouvait cela bien. La nouveauté parfois fait aimer la rudesse. Au sortir du sermon, le monarque enchanté Fit venir le renard : vous avez su me plaire, Lui dit-il, vous m'avez montré la vérité ; Je vous dois un juste salaire : Que me demandez-vous pour prix de vos leçons ? Le renard répondit : sire, quelques dindons.

Depression, Depression the feeling of emptiness always a challenge to fill it with happiness. One of my favorite songwriters is Nick Drake his somber yet powerful lyrics about not be able to connect with people and depression really helped me in times of personal trouble. I was diagnosed very early on in my childhood with depression I started reading a lot listening to music looking outside my window watching the other children play knowing how I would not be able to connect socially. When my parents divorced I realized that my life began to go in a downward spiral then I discovered Nick Drake. I felt connected to him in some way as if I was a incarnation of him. When I listen to his music I feel the same sense of hopelessness the same feelings of isolation. At times I feel stronger for going through this permanent pain but then I think to myself what of my future. That question races though my mind it almost like its making me a restless ghost during those cold dark nights. Through my high school years I still felt the same isolation with people as when I was a child. But the big difference was that I didn’t place a big smile on my face when I knew everything was not alright. This time I expressed my feelings in a more mature and realistic way. I started to write a lot in my spare time I usually wrote a lot of isolated characters trying to find that source of happiness that would free them of their personal pains. Once I wrote a short story about a girl that I fell in love with being a huge fan of F.Scott Fitzgerald I described the main character as the girl all the boys want but can ever have. With a combination of Nick Drakes lyrical style and F Scott Fitzgerald’s plot structure I wrote a love story that defined my inner feelings that I couldn’t really express with verbal communication. Sometimes I believe when people socialize verbally it establishes a more meaningful connection but for me developing socializing socials wasn’t so verbal but it was with writing and listening to music where I developed a sense of identity that was a real morale booster to continue living life with the aspirations of success and personal happiness.

Moral pulls herself up by her own bootstraps on her high horse boots with stir ups when I visit and the rocking chairs throw down newspapers and stand to attention in the name of Moral support looking like we might be game who holds the whip hand in this sport? I straddle the fence with her strict father Duty Duty gives the orders here we try to carry them out they're no heavy burden not keeping mum Mercy from being close to daughter Moral Duty is of higher rank and gives Moral direction Duty sets the boundary Mercy's bound to follow while Moral carries the compass and the compassion of a conscience Me? I'm loyal love enough and light enough to jump the fences with my own defence Moral permits This defence is good for morale but Duty is always on guard for Moral a perfect match that can have a deadly when ignited bite to catch those who are free spirited When Duty's asleep alone he leaves a stern guardian off the safety catch in Duty of care for Moral - Discipline I must steal this care away from the arms of Discipline when Moral's involved because Discipline in the hands of Duty would explode in the face of neighbourly straying should Duty do what he sees fit without Mercy at his side But should Duty awaken alone to his Moral's dilemma I fear his Moral Discipline can be Merciless Did we burn our breeches? almost we rode a city of them chaste off racecourse to show Moral Italy

Customs and Duty Free
Yet again, I am struggling to sleep, Yearning for my soul to keep. Day by day pass with no remorse. Death scouring the lands on his tireless horse. First there was Marcos, Then there was Kain. Death is coming for all of us, As morale begins to wane. Shots are fired in hot sporadic spurts, I duck for cover as my shoulder hurts. Blood flows down my arm as I grasp my gun, I close my eyes as my comrades begin to run. I am paralyzed, planted in the bunkered earth, My comrades carry me as they flee. I fight with sanity, refusing to see my own worth, As bullets fly by, in an endless torrent of maniacal glee. The pain sears, racing through my mind. Muscles, tissue, bone, beginning to unwind. Concern crosses my comrade’s face, As he looks at my pained disgrace. Earth spews from the ground to my right, Launching us into the thick fumed air. I scream again as my pain rears its roaring might. My vision fading as our bodies land on our earthen lair. Death’s whisper then did creep, His cold breath in did seep. I feel no pain as I know its time, To join my mates, out here on the Rhine.

Ethnic Raging in my face Everywhere I care to look Coptic Christians, brown and white Scream intolerance, forsook. Jew and anti Jew defile All good laws of rationale, In raw voraciousness of hate, In howling shred of faith’s morale. Blessed are the just for they Enshrine their plaque of rich noblesque, Blessed are the weak of will Who deeply sip from traitor’s breast. And blessed are the strong who hold At bay the laws of God’s restraint, In tandem with the rich who cower, White, behind their armoured gate. Ethnic raging everywhere I watch it through the children’s eyes, Led to purge the coloured flesh, To flay a difference ‘till it dies. Marshalg Recoiling from it all. Auckland NZ 11 October 2011

Rage of the Ethnics
I started watching football when I was eight At that moment I had everything to hate The next day I went with the squad I played with a poor morale Than as the time passed by People said Ronaldo in Madrid is ***** Than as the Manuel Neur got the fame Messi got him chipped later in the game In June they compared Andre Gomes with James For real? Thats just lame Merle said "Football players are like prostitutes" They said "Giroud comes to show off his beard" Footballers like Yahya dont even drink beer While some footballers go to the club when they hit the big time Tottenham striker said "He cant remember going to a club last time" Bayern Munich bailed out Dortmund with a loan in the past Oil money of PSG on Neymar gave me a flabbergast..

He said she was "she" He said he loves "she" He said he adores "she" She says he was "he" She says she loves "he" She says she adores "he" But why does she says and he said? Is she really "she" and he is really "he?" She and he were bounded by a red string She and he were fated with lingering attachments to a "he" and "she" really, they were meant to be Bounded by fate and destiny That...they can see a knot of friendship only "them" can unleash Bounded by fate and destiny not by love and intimacy but by morale and respect, and friendship so unwrecked

"Them"
*If inside my heart you reside, Then I have all happiness in life, Don’t ever ever leave me alone, Do never never break my heart… My morale is from you, From you is each of my decisions, Without you my life is, stranger… Without you my life is, emptier… I have known love after knowing you, Knowing you only I have a new life, Without you my life is, stranger… Without you my life is, emptier… If inside my heart you reside, Then I have all happiness in life, If you aren’t here, what my life is, If you aren’t here, what my life is…*

If Inside My Heart
If in my heart you reside, Then I've every joy of life. If in my heart you reside, Then I've every joy of life. Don't leave, oh darling, Don't leave me alone, Don't leave, just don't, My heart will be shattered. From you my newfound morale is, From you I got this new daring strength. From you my newfound morale is, From you I got this new daring strength. Sans you my life is incomplete, Sans you my life is so hollow. From you I have known what love is, From you I got a new lease of life. From you I have known what love is, From you I got a new lease of life. Sans you my life is deserted, Sans you my life is unbeknownst. If in my heart you reside, Then I've every joy of life. If in my heart you reside, Then I've every joy of life.

You ************ but in all seriousness, thank you for building up your tolerance to beatings because they will continue until morale improves thank you It's a strange place - the real world - monsters lay in wait in every shadow around every corner and yeah, you aren't the human being 2.0 but you're prepared enough to board up the windows before the hurricane and Mum, Dad, I can talk all the **** in the world but all of it would be empty because for as ****** up as I am as ****** up as you both certainly are we've made it this far and god **** it I can't see our sun setting anytime soon so my naturally adapted cynical sarcasm behind me Thank you for loving me no matter what even when the well was so dry love was hard to find Thank you.

Tell me gently, beautiful Siren from the rocks Whisper me memories Who seeks my life end short inform me bluntly, Beautiful siren from the sea the soldiers marching to my gate. Should I set the pitch to pour? The demons march I seek guidance in your song Is there something I missed? We’re sick our morale is feeding the ant hills Consult me Nicely, Beautiful siren from the rocks tell me just how many friends, I’ll lose to this war. We found the sugar, found the wine. lost the honey, lost time. We’re out of rations, low on passion. men coddling tiny strands of hope. Save me Now, beautiful Siren from the Grave. My boats still floating I could sail away. back to my castle, where my people lay. I came here for vacation. but I found your voice, decided to stay. The people of my land pray, that I go deaf and return to them. but I decided to hear your voice while my kingdom Rots and fades While my people die and pray I needed this getaway my people, dying by my blade. can’t stand them lookin’ up to me. Their tears falling at my feet. Them saying. “Please king, save me.” praying “Don’t let them **** me.” screaming. “They took my family!” I wasn’t born to be a king. I wasn’t born to be a king. The siren sang her song to me.

Abandon Your Castle
Don't tell, but - I missed my flight and... And thought of you today. That time when You were working – a TV job...? The details fade. I was in the taxi On my way When suddenly the truth sank in – I was not going to make it. I almost called you But I stopped myself - You’d be at work, I’d have to leave a message, You’d call me back... And the morale of the story Would be - I am an idiot. That’s all. An idiot. I’m sorry and I feel stupid And I want to call you now. Now that I have Something to confide And no one to confide it in.

Atop the ladder twenty-twenty, I was enjoying the view. Care Home visits a plenty, Faces old and new. Singing songs to raise a smile, And vacant minds re-awoken, Music to boost morale, Mending souls once broken. Frail voices murmured approval, For favourite singers of their day. “That was lovely! - Just wonderful! Have a tea! - Please stay!” Then, we talked all afternoon, For little did we know, What was around the corner, The invisible foe. And just like that, we were separated. Back down the ladder I’d go. Down there at the bottom, The flowers would not grow. The rays that kissed my cheek, Were hidden from my gaze, A tortured isolation, As we entered a new phase. Yet in your darkest hour, I wished to shine a light, So I worked to find new ways, Tirelessly through the night. Springtime and summer, Brought with it a new hope: Outdoor shows, joy and laughter, (Needed to help us cope.) My feet were on the ladder, And life was on the up, But slipping on the rain, I fell back in the muck. Atop the ladder twenty-twenty, Now that seems long ago, Through all the loss and tears, I did the only thing I know. Which was to carry on, With a stiff upper lip. I’d see you all again, Once I regained my grip. Twenty-twenty one flew by, Just like the year before. With notes of heartfelt lyrics, Hidden in my drawer. What awaits atop the ladder For twenty-two, who knows? But I’ll never forget, When I helped them through their woes.

Climbing the Ladder
Lost in the darkness, we wander round-and-round Trekking through the mud, with no hope of ever being found As morale wains, so too does the memory of purpose Growing more lost, as life spirals out of control like an untrained circus Focus shifts from our purpose to finding a purpose We look to be great in everything we do, hoping to make something of ourselves. The more we try though, the more we place on our shelves. As these shelves fill up, we begin to feel like failures. When it comes to this endless despair, where are the remedies? Where are the cures? Darkness itself becomes our air and we begin to suffocate. Take heed though, for eternity in darkness need not be your fate. The Lord God is there. Seek Him out, He'll pull you from the despair. Focus your eyes on Him, He'll set your heart on fire. Faith in Him will grant your heart's desire. The road is hard, as it's not the beaten path. With every step you'll grow, His love washes over us like water in a bath. With each step your happiness will begin to show. You've found a purpose in God, be blessed and comforted by His rod.

Lost in Darkness
My Principal is forever ready to explore New things from students who implore And set a new goal for them to outscore In their own life. He is ready to restore Intellect and discipline in school therefore Stands out and administers students’ footsore. Cherian sir the one who is fighting war Against anxiety and worry on door, Which pester children and occasionally gore Their morale and self-esteem. They spoor Away from study which he sojourns before They reach to larger extent and be cocksure. Never he criticizes without any reason poor, As he is a positive thinker. All of us roar Which is pacified by him but for sure. He is the man of principles and decor Whose blessings on all of us ever pour.
