"orientation" poems
A gentleman is not brutal, but he will prove all vendettas futile. He is not immune to bullet, fist or blade but any insult raised against him will be met with a blockade. He is stoic, but still smiles, cracking his face open without reserve for a friend, to calm, to a foe, to unnerve. A gentleman dresses his best, whether it Vans and sweater, or tie and vest. No-one is beneath his attention he gifts compliments quite often, but when a man puts a hand on him, that man goes home in a coffin. No matter his orientation, he respects every inclination, He holds the door the same way he strikes true, every time. He knows his weapon well, but in blood, he doesn't buy nor sell. He knows the time to fight but of violence, he makes no light. He respects every man, every woman, every child... But, if his family is ever hurt and this one renders apologies inert then they shall receive only a box and a white shirt.

Gentleman
I am not at fault. I didn't do anything wrong. Why am I being treated as though I did? Stop it with the pity and the shame. I am not ashamed. I don't need pity. Especially not yours. Life is messed up, but I am not. One in five. one in five. ONE IN FIVE One in five LGBTQ+ people have been mistreated because of their ****** orientation. It's not that hard to find these statistics. Look it up. Look up anything about LGBTQ+ people and I'm sure you'll find mistreatment. I'm sure you'll find harm. I'm sure you'll find that they harm themselves. Because they feel at fault. It's not their fault that they feel a common emotion towards another person you, selfish, close-minded.. mmm. No. Four in five. four in five. FOUR IN FIVE Don't talk about it. The way they were mistreated. If you don't really get that If you can't  really fathom that Almost all of them Almost every single one of these people that have been mistreated don't even talk about it they don't reach out they don't tell anyone NEARLY HALF of LGBTQ+ people in school are bullied Are mistreated Are hurt Are mocked Are called names *** ****** *** In school. Yeah, bullying happens all the time over stupid **** All the time. Wearing glasses, looking different, being gay. I get it. It happens. Whatever. Nearly half. "72 countries criminalise same-sex relationships ... The death penalty is either ‘allowed’, or evidence of its existence occurs, in 8 countries In more than half the world, LGBT people may not be protected from discrimination by workplace law Most governments deny trans people the right to legally change their name and gender from those that were assigned to them at birth Between 2008 and 2014, there were 1,612 trans people were murdered across 62 countries - equivalent to a killing every two days A quarter of the world’s population believes that being LGBT should be a crime" Oh hey, just some statistics. Isn't that interesting. Isn't it cool to take a step back and check that out. That's pretty crazy huh? Pretty outrageous. But, you know, maybe if you weren't such a *** I did nothing wrong. I tried to stop it. I tried. But how can you stop Doing What Is Natural. People are hurting People are dying People are being killed People are killing themselves Stop it with the pity and the shame. We are not to blame.

3-2-2017 (unknown date of origin) Something's wrong... you don't belong here. I said, looking down at the pineapple on my pizza. I said, looking down at the ketchup on my macaroni. I said, looking down at the cream of mushroom soup on my meatloaf. He said, looking down at me and my boyfriend, holding hands in public. Like I'm a creep.  I'm a ****** What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here. You see there's these things that we learn at the dinner table. When we're kids we have certain items served to us on our plates. Whatever doesn't end up there, isn't a part of the discussion. After all, they say if you don't have a seat at the table, you are likely to be on the menu. So, when ****** orientation and gender identity aren't seated at the table of childhood, they get served for the first time in unexpected places.   Like an avante garde celebrity chef's designer meal, prepared for critiques by the food bloggers.   They get served in college classroom debates or in dorm rooms with freshman roommates.   They're on the menu in in some movies but served with a side of stereotypes and silly trope toppings.   They get grinded into glitter dust sprinkled on the annual PRIDE Parades like an overly salty seasoning mix.   They're on the menu in workplace diversity trainings, but too little too late - they get lost in the marginalized buffet.   They get served at the oppression Olympics, or actually at the Olympics unwillingly by a journalist who only pretends to eat a well-balanced diet, but really has LGBT food allergies,  if you know what I mean. In reality, these should be staple dishes consumed by commoners, consumed by you and me, consumed by children along with their healthy daily dose of broccoli and cauliflower, squash and zucchini, even eggplant.   They should be in every ******* cookbook with pictures and all different kinds of recipes! I want every child to have gay on their dinner plate, lesbian lunch, gender nonconforming on the brunch menu, and bisexual breakfast.   And everything in between in the queer spectrum served during snack breaks.   I want every child to look down at their plate and see pineapple pizza and say, gee that looks great!   I love all of the pizza toppings, no matter whether gay or nay. ... except for anchovies, of course.

What a city I murmur to myself looking at its map. We approached the city known as Dis, with its vast army and its burdened citizens. At last we reached the moats dug deep around the dismal city. What destroys the poetry of a city? Automobiles destroy it, and they destroy more than the poetry. Dante and Virgil chased by 7 or 8 dangerous devils Grumpy, Happy, Sneezy, Sleepy, ***** . . . Our heroes reduced from metaphysical philosophers interested in god and what man has done to man to improvising primitive tools for survival. Hope abandoned, we rate our chances of expiring in the nuclear fire – excellent – during the decline of western civilization. On the other hand, I hope our current problems are only temporary and it’s just a matter of time before the public ignores the 24-hour news cycle. Bad news sells but the good life’s all around us. One feels love and devotion even for the 60 million who voted for our opponent. Vaclav Havel said with a wisdom well beyond brilliance: “Either we have hope within us or we don’t. It is a dimension of the soul, and it’s not dependent on some particular observation of the world or estimate of the situation. It is an orientation of the spirit, an orientation of the heart that transcends the world as it’s immediately experienced. It is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense no matter how it turns out.” It resembles grief. But it's not quite grief. I'll give you grief. Certain days planned to be eventful I look forward to for weeks. Let the peaceful transfer of power proceed. The sorrow and the pity. Never may the anarchic man find rest at my hearth. When the laws are kept, how proudly the city stands! When the laws are broken, what of the city then? We are moving through some allegory between a City of Hope, where history has been abolished, and a City of History, where hope can be slipped in only as contraband. Failing to achieve understanding, we're searching outer space for an entity to unite us as humanity. That person, or city, is consciousness. Two ancient female poets are a revelation, the clarity of their complaints: lost lover, lost city. Our enemy eventually becomes our brother, his misery lifted by coming to her city.

Lev. 20:13 "If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives." This was said to make sure the population on earth grew, which it did. God was NOT saying this because it will always be wrong. They are just regular people and this is where they belong. Homosexuals are the same as everybody else. This is equality that they strive for because no one is better than the other. We are all from the same God, and we are all sisters and brothers. This is not a disease and this is not something you can change. They were born like that, it is not something that you were taught. I was born with brown hair, this is not something that is forethought. Why does it matter so much what your ****** orientation is? That is that person's business, not ours to judge. We have no right to judge and all of this homophobia is actually just a carnage. We call ourselves Christian, but is this actually living in the true image of God. Have you not heard "Do onto others as you would have them do onto you?" That is the golden rule and how would you like it if it were heterosexuals that were hated anew? God made all of His children in His image. Do you honestly think that God would turn away His own children because they were born Homosexuals? With all of this hate and anger, turning away people that could be our friends, well we aren't humans; we are actually animals. Why is it that now they get the same benefits as the people who are straight? Why has this taken so long to do? Are they not the same as everybody else that we know? There are many things that are wrong with society, this homophobia needs to stop so why must we forgo? If two people love each other so much to remain together for the rest of their life, then let them. Homophobia is wrong. God loves all of his children headlong. And to all those gays and lesbians out there, STAY STRONG.

Albert Camus Kept an Emu Tied to a potted, Portable wisteria To keep him company Whilst he kept goal For the University of Algeria. As Albert was fishing The ball out From the back of the net The Emu mused On the conversations they'd had About The Oprah Winfrey Show, The significance of suffragettes, Adam Smith's Wealth Of Nations And the ****** orientation Of Sir Galahad. Whilst discussing the plots of The Plague and The Outsider Warm feelings would suddenly Well up inside her. Why should such intellect Elicit so much love And even more pain? My thoughts for this man Aren't getting any vaguer. Then Utrecht University Scored again. There are no happy endings With Albert Camus - Decades later he dies In his publisher's Facel Vega. When she heard of Albert's demise Her initial reaction Was hysteria And it comes as no surprise That a few weeks later She died of diphtheria Which is so much easier to do When you're an existential emu.

Albert Camus And His Existential Emu
though deep he sleeps sometimes, combining this exhaustive restorative of old age, that alternates with a restlessness rest of old age ~ the brain's nightly self-cleansing, both necessities absolute so he be unsurprised, by a parallel process, occurring beside him, as woman rumbles, mumbles, all the while reenacting the things we dare not acknowledge in the waking  hours, much too painful, much to fearfully real unreal, but, best unrealized she bolts upright, looks around, attempting to cross back, looking, investigating, ascertaining time and place, localizing her orientation, while assessing external+imagined dreamt threats, till satisfied sufficient that whatever dreamt, realized or dreamisized, before, going prone once-more the watch man observes, the critical threat level, doesn't approach the red line, not requiring hands-on interventions, and relieved, that she has expunged and expelled the mind's many molecules of memories, true or false, real or revisionary, making clean white tissued neuron+cell for the morrow and thus he reminds himself, that he be watch man, observing, uninterfering, is too, is also, a definitive infinite only love poetry

Diffrent faces of the same coin
Are not all of us human? Do not each one of us bleed? Despite race or religion, gender, colour or creed. Does ones nationality, ****** orientation, Or ones disability Make them less of a person? Are not all of us children, Some ones daughter or son? Does not each one of us mean So very much to someone? We are all so different So unique and wonderful Who have from the first moment Lived our lives to the full.   Can one life be more precious? Mean less than any other? What gives any one of us The right to **** another? No, nothing can justify Killing of our fellow man No matter how hard we try Not one of us really can For life is a gift given Not by either you or I It is not our decision Who should live and who should die. Who are we to pass judgement On how other people live? We must be more tolerant, Must learn to live and let live

Over the past couple of years I’ve made some new friends Gay ones Coming from a small town there wasn’t a lot of that growing up But I grew up not judging people and accepting my friends Religion, race and ****** orientation And then I got made fun of for having friends They said, “Oh you’re probably gay now too right?” I am so straight I am so straight That I like to listen to classical music because It makes me feel an emotion I haven’t felt yet I am so straight That I cry at the end of really good movies Because the actor or actresses performance was so believable Or the story was something that touched me soft I am so straight My favorite color is purple I am so straight That I watch sports with my gay friends and we Discuss the color of the team’s jerseys I am so straight That I broke up with my smokin’ hot, perfect 10, girlfriend Because she didn’t have the incredible ability to carry on A decent conversation I am so straight That I like to wear skinny jeans because I believe it shows off my figure better And you come up to me and say I look gay And girls come up to me and say I like your style And then I kiss them I am so straight I write poetry about things I like to do *** THC and partying with all of my friends, regardless of how they love I am so straight That I’m not even on this planet The world is a sphere Full of bends and curves I’m straight out suspended in space I am so straight

i just lamented a more complex version of this; i just cannot believe we denote the same thing in order to share an understanding of the same by denoting as such, but when acting we feel so differently about it; imagine the noun iran in the mouth of an american, then picture the verbs subsequent... then imagine the noun america in the mouth of an iranian, then picture the verbs subsequent: words hold as much emotion as actions discard, even though the actions are worded, and the words are almost imaginary when concerned with what iraq was when given belshazzar. i wonder if as many people would **** or die for the noun apple, as they do for allah - say the noun apple... apple apple apple long enough... will you get apple juice? well no, so if you keep on saying the noun allah allah... will that thing materialise? the imaginary atheistic sense of the word allah, is that humanity turned the noun allah into a verb of its own chosing due to man's free will, i.e., say allah casually over coffee, now say allah in jihad clothing... the same noun among diverse verbs... might as well invent a new grammatical category of nouns and verbs mingling... nouverbs... what noun invokes what action, consolidated in what are excesses of adjectives, given the quality of a life lived - the man who casually said the noun allah in a coffee shop in denmark managed to integrate into danish society and start up a newspaper... the man in syria who "casually" said the noun allah in a coffee shop in syria didn't manage the former... because his orientation of the noun changed the path of the sequence of nouns / beheaded nuns, since the cutting of the word verb, managed to craft non-verbum-ergo-actio. in defence of avoiding one’s own mortality, one speaks against one’s own death, thus one speaks with the enemy of the people one shares a life with, for a fake chance of the feeling of prolonging.

it was that metallica in moscow prompt that got me started, obviously the real relationship ended and the writing began; but what can you do? as a child i wanted to become a veterinarian, but god, why a poet? it’s usually those who wished otherwise who become mozarts in the unwanted category of being themselves... just so there’s some sort of anaesthetic expressed by ease and fluidity, and apathy, and automation; writing doesn't have to be of a lofty/ aloof ontological orientation... it just has to be basic, and true... it has to have a quality where truth translates itself as fiction... and you begin lying to yourself on paper.

i'm a plumber at heart
It's 2 am The television is quietly mocking me, telling me I'm too large for my skin, and providing a simple solution: tiny capsules of hope, plagued with consequences. Caution: may cause nausea, infertility, and (in some cases) death; but isn't that a fair trade for a flat stomach? The media consumes us: "Slim is **** you can be **** too!" Girls get the message from early on that what is most important is how they look; not the poetry they speak or the way they move their feet but the size of their jeans. Women in magazines and on TV portray an unrealistic ideal of what a woman should be. They turn into objects. And when we lose the fight for our humanity, we lose the fight for equality. Misogyny is bred through the over-sexualized photographs in magazines or on the TV screen, but so is misandry. Men are depicted as stolid creatures, and boys grow up being told they should conceal their emotions, but even the strongest walls crumble with time. Chipping away slowly at the concrete until a flood of passion or rage overwhelms them. The emotional tyranny of masculinity is exhausting. Boys' role models are fit, cocky, and brute: He-man, Superman, Spiderman; and if you can't earn that label of "man" then what are you? We have all been brainwashed. Tainted to believe that the image of the ideal man or woman is what we should strive towards; and no matter how tirelessly we scrub, the idea remains; like the residue of a bumper sticker you used to believe in. It is too late for us, but the future holds innumerable possibilities for a better world. A world where women are not accused of provoking **** because of their short shorts and men are offended by the idea because it suggests that they are incapable of control. A world where men aren't seen of as weak or unmanly because they express themselves emotionally outside of their bedrooms. A world where despite your weight, gender, race, or ****** orientation you can pursue your happiness.

It's 2 am The television is quietly mocking me, telling me I'm too large for my skin, and providing a simple solution: tiny capsules of hope, plagued with consequences. Caution: may cause nausea, infertility, and (in some cases) death; but isn't that a fair trade for a flat stomach? The media consumes us: "Slim is **** you can be **** too!" Girls get the message from early on that what is most important is how they look; not the poetry they speak or the way they move their feet but the size of their jeans. Women in magazines and on TV portray an unrealistic ideal of what a woman should be. They turn into objects. And when we lose the fight for our humanity, we lose the fight for equality. Misogyny is bred through the over-sexualized photographs in magazines or on the TV screen, but so is misandry. Men are depicted as stolid creatures, and boys grow up being told they should conceal their emotions, but even the strongest walls crumble with time. Chipping away slowly at the concrete until a flood of passion or rage overwhelms them. The emotional tyranny of masculinity is exhausting. Boys' role models are fit, cocky, and brute: He-man, Superman, Spiderman; and if you can't earn that label of "man" then what are you? We have all been brainwashed. Tainted to believe that the image of the ideal man or woman is what we should strive towards; and no matter how tirelessly we scrub, the idea remains; like the residue of a bumper sticker you used to believe in. It is too late for us, but the future holds innumerable possibilities for a better world. A world where women are not accused of provoking **** because of their short shorts and men are offended by the idea because it suggests that they are incapable of control. A world where men aren't seen of as weak or unmanly because they express themselves emotionally outside of their bedrooms. A world where despite your weight, gender, race, or ****** orientation you can pursue your happiness.

Ah, in my opinion and in general Indian opinion, love and *** are irrelated. I'm nearly 23 and I'm in love and I'm proudly a young man with preserved chastity. Gender has lost its place in the active vocabulary and the word for ****** *********** *** has replaced it widely. People around the globe have simply forgotten that the real meaning of love is not *** but instead of this, *** is one of the many expressions of love. Love is when you get the feeling of being a friend and a family member of a person you are not naturally related to and the person is from the "opposite" gender irrespective of how the system tries to make sense of same-gender love by going great lengths for despising the truth. As for the homosexual people, it's high time for them to accept the rules of nature as those are and stop doing what they are. They should mingle equally well with the people from opposite gender and find or wait for somebody who matches their thinking about wiser things. Virginity, or more appropriately put, chastity of a person is defined as the situation of being totally inexperienced at having had any ****** activity. It is a treasure trove of humanity, and is not just a physical state but even a psychological state. This treasure must be shown to and shared only with one person from opposite gender when one is ready for exercising the activities of ****** *********** If a person, a female in particular, is ***** and their chastity is snatched away by force, or conversely, they lose it to some physical injury resulting from sports, and their mind is still untouched by the notion of *********** they must not to be treated as someone who has been having ****** *********** and wilfully so.

Of *** & Gender, ****** Orientation, Virginity & Chastity

SpongeBob SquarePants is an American animated television series created by marine biologist and animator Stephen Hillenburg for Nickelodeon. The series chronicles the adventures and endeavors of the title character and his various friends in the fictional underwater city of Bikini Bottom. The series' popularity has made it a media franchise, as well as Nickelodeon network's highest rated show, and the most distributed property of MTV Networks. The media franchise has generated $8 billion in merchandising revenue for Nickelodeon. Many of the ideas for the series originated in an unpublished, educational comic book titled The Intertidal Zone, which Hillenburg created in the mid-1980s. He began developing SpongeBob SquarePants into a television series in 1996 upon the cancellation of Rocko's Modern Life, and turned to Tom Kenny, who had worked with him on that series, to voice the titular character. SpongeBob was originally to be named SpongeBoy, and the series was to be called SpongeBoy Ahoy!, but these were changed, as the name was already trademarked. The series was previewed on Nickelodeon in the United States on May 1, 1999, following the television airing of the 1999 Kids' Choice Awards, and officially premiered on July 17, 1999. It has received worldwide critical acclaim since its premiere and gained enormous popularity by its second season. The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, a feature-length film adaptation, was released in theaters on November 19, 2004, and a sequel is currently in production, with a projected release date of February 13, 2015. On July 21, 2012, the series was renewed and aired its ninth season, beginning with the episode "Extreme Spots".[2][3] Despite its widespread popularity, the series has been involved in several public controversies, including one centered around speculation over SpongeBob SquarePants' intended ****** orientation. The series has been nominated for a variety of different awards, including 17 Annie Awards (with six wins), 17 Golden Reel Awards (with eight wins), 15 Emmy Awards (with one win), 13 Kids' Choice Awards (with 12 wins), and four BAFTA Children's Awards (with two wins). In 2011, a newly described species of mushroom, Spongiforma squarepantsii, was named after the cartoon's title character.

Another beautiful, colorful day ended favorably, Gave happiness in jests, kindness, laments. Morning's new orientation provided quick reassurance, Supporting the universal view, While xenophobia yielded zilch.

Alphabetic Lament
Letters jumbled, Here and there on a keyboard, Looking through our code to see where the error is, the truth is you cant find a mistake if it never existed. We were just programmed differently, the error was all along in a mirror when you look up and understand. Most of you looking at the white light while we already passed through the prism. It was never about leaving the closet, we were forced into it, never been allowed to touch the *** of gold. Roads diverged but my options are more than two, our orientation isn't a highway but that doesn't mean we don't belong on the road. They tell me opposites attract but I fell in love on the same side of the pole and sometimes on both sides of the pole. Religious men telling me Santa doesn't like mistakes but if you look aside your blinders, your God made me. Stuck between the door with a skirt and a pant, some forget I'm still questioning if I look good in a pant or a skirt. Letters in a straight line, they push us to get in line and choose a road but we like to wander and wander we will.

In some crazy way like  being loved Poetry  gives me Strength and Motivation at times it’s all I  have It’s where I escaped It’s Where I feel right at home   my happy state of mind Where I take my mental Essence to a higher plateau Where words becomes Arts Never ceased to amazed Let the ink dance  with my mind   Tango enlightenment Impossible to avoid ink splattered all over my thoughts It’s like swimming In the  Black Sea with full consent into a black hole Impossible to let go Orientation put me into a dazed But not for long anticipating memory fades Ruined  expressions like mind on fire seeking for the  river Put words together analyzed all the dance strides my ink had taken Scrutinized   what It all means and make sense       of it all Nevertheless keep my insanity Is The duel being  fought Enduringly into the abyss of The poetic  mind

Restless Poetic Mind
how come we struggle with equality, when everyones looking for lifes perfect quality? society cuts down gays down and reprimands, forced into silence by a government that doesn't understand. why cant they can't marry? i mean come on, is gay marriage really that scary? people should be who they want to be, not be hiding in a closet unfree. it's not polite to point and stare, seriously, why do people care? they're the same as you and me, their ****** orientation is just different to some degree. society needs to take a good look inside, we need to support LGBT pride. because supposedly we are "free," but how come thats not how its been lately?

equality
before existentialism, and nietzsche in mind, philosophy was written or spoken of accepting the socratic rigidity of words, the rigidity of words known through the socratic method of inquiry: the simplest of questions imposed on the meaning of words; e.g. what is virtue? but with existentialism this old method of inquiry, the poised posing bewilderment lost its quality, in that the new method of inquiry was given to stress not a method of questioning but that of ambiguity, even though this new method that simply said the reverse of what is virtue as the preservation of a narrative: "virtue" concedes many variations exampled true, e.g. - this dittoing going against - previously said / as above - became staged against a brick wall - since this method, the existential method of brushing aside inquiry and entering the realm of ambiguity was already present - the pluralism of meaning found in certain words; it isn't a question whether red or blue can be ambiguous, this allocation of noun and quality is all too pervasive - so when an ambiguity is allowed to exercise its stressor posit - the word in question is allocated a verb orientation in its exercise of use and example, further diluted by the quantity and lack of example, and ascribed contorting adjectivity due to the dilution of meaning: with lessened recognition of sought out qualification to sentence an enzymic perfection of: banker and philanthropist, priest and maximilian kolbe, poetry and lack of envy. even though these examples are idealistic, they provide the obvious ambiguity already apparent, hence the double ambiguity of opposites, ideal opposites. in shorthand - if socrates were to come upon reading existentialism - his questions regarding the virtues would be bound to free floating terms in the ditto bubbles of flimsiness of non-inquiry - bewildered by the number of prompts to question, there would be no necessary ambiguity to many other terms of inactivity - such as the previously mentioned red and blue, dog and glue, but too many, it would seem, should a strict belief in categorising virtue as a noun but not a verb be kept - for categorisation of such nature only provides a linear cascade without due action or cared for imitation - ending with the only chance of virtue chanced and seen as an unvirtuous person doing crossword puzzles in silence - and already virtue's opposite is engaged in defending itself and justifying its ills by first forcing many synonyms to cover it in ambiguity, and asserting itself as an adjective within a noun framework blunt: virtue v. unvirtuous will only confiscate siamese phonetic mingling to ease the definition; i guess that's how rhyming was born, the opposite of alphabetical ordering: a, aardvark                              the violet's blue                                                                    ****** a doughnut with you.

26 angels have arrived for orientation Taken from the world without hesitation Heaven is a little more crowded: There’s a place already prepared At least tonight those who’ve passed, Will rest in God’s care Buried under heartbreak, Newtown still stands Worlds changed, for this kid and the next “Kids, 2 +2 is…” BANG - Children were unable to protect, Themselves or their friends Gunshots filled the air Instead of love that should be there Flags at half-staff, leave us half-hearted Soo many, like too many, Will spend their Christmas With families torn apart And no New Years resolution Can make up for the inhuman execution May we ever look to love unconditionally.
