Time for some originality methinks this copy paste world of ours, well it stinks sincerity became a thing of the past as people got lazy and obsessed with fast No time for honesty bout the way that you feel originality gone at the turn of a wheel a right click here and a left click there and we use others words to show that we care Well enough of being lazy and thoughtless I say Lets go back and do things the old fashioned way Where you said what you meant and you meant what you said And took time to write words you knew would be read Its hard to wrap emails in ribbons and bows As for Facebook and messenger who knows where that goes So give me some paper and a pen every time And I will sit down and think, and then write you a line My words may make you smile and they may make you weep But I choose them with care to build something you'll keep.

She’s prettier , she’s skinner , she’s thinner , she’s more flawless, she’s this she’s that she’s everything that I can’t ever be… Alright stop! why are you comparing yourself to someone else out there? You’re beautiful in your own way and you better believe it. I know somewhere out there someone is going to make you believe it one day. Don’t be insecure about yourself because everyone is different and face the fact that they aren’t you. Stop comparing yourself and believe that the person in the mirror you see everyday is beautiful. There shouldn’t be a thing you should change, appreciate what you look like because the more you start to believe it the less insecure you’ll start being. Don’t let someone else’s words bring you down. They can tell you that you’re ugly or fat or anything negative. Just drop it because they’re only trying to bring you down and make you feel even more insecure. You should always be the bigger person and ignore it because once you start listening the more you’ll feel insecure and you’ll always start to believe it. God made everyone differently and you came out that way now stop trying to change the originality of who you are from what society wants you to be looking like. You’ll always be beautiful the way you are.

Happy Diwali...
What a beautiful thing it is ! A Canvas that speaks a lot Wow ! an artist’s soul That try to speak a lot From the window of canvas To the doors of sky Till the depth of ocean In the romancing moonlight And spreading its vastness As the fragrance Of night blooms Until the sunrise Again from morning dews To chirping birds Snowy mountains To windy breeze A moving cloud And even from rain to rainbow All is possible With the tip of a brush Is a marvellous thing That depicts an artist’s heart An art is a creation Of an artist Which is made In different colours With different paints And in different shades But all in one canvas Makes an effective painting Which can never die As an artist’s soul That is lightning forever As a magical lantern Some paintings speaks a lot Like stories to us When it starts speaking The whole image depicts It’s originality As an original photo Of some place And that really can lost us Somewhere as in the canvas Even eyes of a portrait Speaks a lot When we stare in that eyes It seems as the person is gazing As a living person is standing in front of us Which feels like a real photo And it really makes An unbelievable painting Which is like giving life To the non living thing Within the canvas By an artist Or like a flower bloomed In the hands of an artist Canvas that speaks a lot Really shows true heart Of an artist’s creation A beautiful creation By ones own hands Mesmerise all of us With no time Like an original picture Taken with a camera Of high resolution Is something to adore With the hearts of love Canvas that speaks a lot Is a graceful creation That makes us wonder Which is a miracle In hands of an artist That remains its effect For life time And that make An artist Different from others Canvas that speaks a lot Is a creation of art When an artist starts To move his hand on canvas It starts to speak a lot From the sincerity of love To the beauty of a nature Sparkling eyes of a human And the depth of a sea All that beautiful creation Of Godly things Is once more painted With the help of an artist’s brush Is something that speaks For a lifetime With thousands of words In one image Is an exemplary Creation of humane In a canvas Canvas that speaks a lot With voice of heart Beats in every hearts And in all eras An artist is like a lantern That lightens other lights And a canvas is a mirror Of an artist’s soul That reflects the lights   For lifetime Which was once lit By an artist With a great deal Who was owned By an eloquent soul.

CANVAS - that speaks a lot
What a beautiful thing it is !

I am nature I am open and wild and free I am the wind rushing down canyons and the hollering in banyans I am a bird that sings I am molecules upon cells upon bones against things I am civilization. The trapped, fluorescent lighting in a library basement. The cake walks and small talks and forced conversation. I am the beeps and hums and dirt on bums. I’m the faraway cell phone that rings. I am molecules upon cells upon bones against things. I am exuberance A child giggling loud sounds of joy Puzzle completers and Christmas toys Smiles and laughs and leaves of grass The casino machine that dings I am molecules upon cells upon bones against things I am anger. Tears, scares, and not fighting fair. I am the red in your eyes as you cry. I am a ghoul that comes out in the night. I am the cut that won’t cease to sting. I am molecules upon cells upon bones against things. I am ideas Originality through and through Creations of my own evolve in my mind Great sinewy thoughts searching for actions to bind Mister Cleans and Daedalus wings I am molecules upon cells upon bones against things I am silence. Quiet. Tight. Composure. Open. Weary. Closure. I am the stillness of being. I am molecules upon cells upon bones against things.* I am alive I set Rube Goldberg machines into action I contemplate, gravitate, and try not to hate I breathe and I heave and I believe I use my eyes to see I am molecules upon cells upon bones against things I am dead. I’m a sideshow reflection of the man I could be. I am lazy cold and clammy. Hopefully I can get my heart beating again. Then I could be me, molecules upon cells upon bones against things

Ignorance is bliss, really, more like Stupidity. an aspect, benefiting a person, like cold sore, irritating, an annoyance, peevish to your life. Face it, honey, you’re as fake, as your personality. You’re plastic, I could melt you, if I truly desired, setting a lighted match, to your artificial body. Please, take some advice, lay off the make-up, you look like a clown, maybe a ********** Tanning is acceptable, but looking dark orange, is outrageous. There is no need to look, like you just rolled in bag of Doritos, that’s Snooki’s Job. There is more to life, besides appearances, waking up like P. Diddy, sweet heart, don’t like be Kesha, it’s ****** Partying is enjoyable, but not necessary every night, consisting of drinking, frat boys, jocks, pretty boys, saying “oh my god”, or “I broke a nail”, and precarious *** I know you were raised with Barbies, but you don’t have to be one. Barbie is a piece of plastic, containing no originality, with an unfeasible body, and isn’t real, much like yourself. Stop with the act, no one wants to be, around a person, who is often intoxicated, narcissistic, and a ditzy ***** You can be a girly girl, but be genuine, stop being a follower, if everyone jumps off a bridge, then you’ll be splattered, upon the ground with them, no use to anyone. My words are probably useless, going right through the holes, of yours ears, attached to the plastic head of yours. Anyways, I tried, as excruciating as it was, to reach out to you, who are living this life, of alleged greatness, more like a travesty, in my eyes. Hopefully, you’ll change, wake up from this social stupor, become yourself, regain your individuality, and cease to be, a Barbie doll.

Are there lawyers in heaven? who sells fish in a Seven-Eleven? How do you prove guilt or innocence, with the devil conspicuous in his absence? Are there barbers or pastors in Heaven? Until the End-of-Days, it is unproven; If we are to do some speculation, Better to do more charitable donations. But one profession, I quite understand, whether in hell or God's Disneyland, that will not make a good living; that's doing double entry accounting. So where do accountants go, you ask; now you really need an oxygen mask; In hell, in heaven, or anywhere you look, there's just no place to cook the books. Someone may now ask about exorcists, I hate to answer, but I just can't resist; ask your grandma or grandpa, they are in a real big dilemma. In heaven, no demons to trouble you, In hell, there are more than quite a few; In heaven, all are good, so no originality, In hell, who works for nothing for Eternity?

It is a growing issue that the amount of metaphors never used before by the hand of man is decreasing significantly and needs to be addressed soon because the number of poets appearing out of nowhere is increasing exponentially because we all want to compare our love to the wind forever competing for self entitled originality and instant gratification until all we have left in this world is cliche after cliche after cliche. Where will we find ourselves when we find out all the words are taken?

Art is either plagiarism or revolution, but we've all heard that before. It feels like originality is impossible when only given twenty-six characters to work with, and so these are not my thoughts, this does not belong to me, I am writing the same things that all those before me have written. We are either replicas or denying it.

facebook - common mentality - quantum loop poem
[PART ONE] xeroxed, RT'd and plagiarized so many times on so many blogs tween blogs to republican blogs to blogs in Russia and blogs no one ever scrolls though... original content is prey but I have a warning for they: overrated, over-shared content aggregators beware the lines you swap can rot and ware the World Wide Web does not care. [PART TWO] original content original contests original continent original controversy original coordination between strangers original calvary riding their connection into the battlefield of internet memes; creating nothing and sharing everything [COMMENTARY] original nothing, nowhere, nobody except facebook "Funny Vidoes!" & "Cool Quotes!". 'Like' pages whose sole originality lies within their own existence but nothing they share. They steal from the rest of the web and re-post what they find for out-of-the-loop troglodytes; often done so in inferior context and with no perspective. The 'refried beans' phenomenon, I call it. I find it fitting because 'refried beans' are a double misnomer. The name comes from 'frijoles refritos' - which means 'well-fried' not 'refried'. They are also never traditionally fried more than once. Yet the name sticks, it gets repeated, it gets re-shared and now that's what they are: refried beans. This phenomenon is why I believe art and all original content eventually become so over-shared and overrated that it's no longer interesting but irritating. These three parts of the poem "Original Content" are separated in abstract authorial presentation. The author has clearly expressed his dislike for the disjunct un-imagination of the internet and presents it as such. [PART THREE] original authors losing control of their audiences who believe they are the creators and the artist's art is somewhat shareable original miscommunication between web 1.0 and web 2.0 reality original alphabet they use to type on their keyboards original grammar they learned in school original money their gov't printed original content they re-post original refried beans original content orginal contet ogrinal cotent ognal ctt oc .

We were born into a world of shallow minds and deep disturbances of young millennials mimicking mindless mimes because we were told to stay in line but be yourself but follow me but think "originality." A generation full of copycatting individuals with monotone mindsets mulling over social ladders and trends dictated by invisible monarchs of industry inviting and spoon feeding insecurities masked as improvements. A generation spending more time pretending not to care than on passions stifled by our peer pressuring playmates who are all prescribed Vyvanse, Adderall, Ritalin for their incurable imaginations deemed "learning disabilities." A generation of temporary friendships because no one can connect with each other but we can connect to the internet and chat with strangers and share thoughts, photos, and secrets to a virtual audience that loses interest in an entanglement of wires forming a noose around our sincerity.

Still Howling
My hooded head casts a shadow across the overflowing ashtray. My exhaled smoke is silhouetted on the handcrafted clay. In the shape of an oyster, painted with the colors of rebellious 21st century youth: Red. Gold. Green. With a flare of "originality." Breeze, light, cold escorts winter across my aged face and I see all that my life is: Tar. Work. Tar. Tar. Sleep. Work. Tar. Eat. Work. Tar. Tar. Work. Eat. Work. Drink coffee. Tar. Sleep. Die. Is this equation what I am reduced to? Simple formula, obsessive compulsive DREAM. The exponents of my life, variables and names: Tar. to the power of X. Tar. to the power of M. But exponents and powers mean little to drowning men. Can a man suffocate on his own routine? Can a man fashion a noose from the fibers of his "adult life?" Look, Ma! I'm all growed-up. I have murdered adventure and the youth that lives inside it. I snapped one too many thin branches, fell through the thin ice, and now I am addicted to solid ground. I will stand on the banks, watching the children ice-skate around my ashtray that overflows with every "yesterday" and half-smoked "this one time" that comprise my former life. I am a grown-up now.

The Memory. (Overflowing Ashtray)
This Distant Light by Walid Khazindar loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch Bitterly cold, winter clings to the naked trees. If only you would free the bright sparrows from your fingertips and release a smile―that shy, tentative smile― from the imprisoned anguish I see. Sing! Can we not sing as if we were warm, hand-in-hand, sheltered by shade from a sweltering sun? Can you not always remain this way, stoking the fire: more beautiful than expected, in reverie? Darkness increases and we must remain vigilant since this distant light is our sole consolation ... this imperiled flame, which from the beginning has constantly flickered, in danger of going out. Come to me, closer and closer. I don't want to be able to tell my hand from yours. And let's stay awake, lest the snow smother us. Walid Khazindar was born in Gaza City. He is considered to be one of the very best Palestinian poets; his poetry has been said to be "characterized by metaphoric originality and a novel thematic approach unprecedented in Arabic poetry." He was awarded the first Palestine Prize for Poetry in 1997. Keywords/Tags: Arabic, translation, Arab, Palestine, Palestinian, Gaza, distant, light, flame, fire, autumn, winter, trees, birds, sparrows, fingertips, smile, sing, shade, sun, fire, darkness, hand, hands, snow

Walid Khazindar "Distant Light" translation
I want a relationship That's anything but typical One that defies cliches And the definition of spontaneous I want to be so in tune with another To the point where it feels As though a piece of me Has crawled its way into him Permanently I want a relationship That takes a detour from anything Stereotypical Such as dinner and a movie for a first date To thrift store shopping In the streets of Seattle At dusk While ending the night At a warm cozy cafe Situated on a quiet corner In the shadows of the city Where poetry is either Softly spoken Or bitterly belted out From within one's own soul On a rugged beaten-up stage With nothing but a spotlight Mic And wooden stool All while we sip on tea (Because I don't like coffee) And reminisce on the moments Worth remembering That were made that day together In between fits of laughter While secretly dreaming About the future ones to be made In the comfort of our minds As we tightly grasp our warm mugs In front of our lips To hide the shy smiles That dare to make an appearance

A Cup of Originality with a Pinch of Spontaneity
Don't believe, for one second, They'll hear nice things from me. Were you dying for some kind of originality? Well, let me just say, It's still death by stupidity. I'm telling you now, I have nothing to say. No one will hear of your generosity (though we all benefitted); Or your loyalty (of which I know firsthand); Your discretion (none ever accused you of less). I can't find the words. I'm speechless. I warned you. Stop smoking (both) Stop drinking (especially every morning, afternoon and evening) Stop being idle (and your posture ***** Stop being a lap dog (stop licking boots) Stop this slippery slope of a lifestyle (there's ground below) Stop taking bad advice. You didn't Stop. Now you're stopped. That's all I have to say. Not much. Is it?

You're Stopped
A writer writes. A writer writes when he wants to and when he doesn't. A writer writes when he is inspired and when he isn't. A writer writes when the words are flowing from his mind like moisture off of a waterfall and when the words are as scarce as republicans in Boston. A writer writes because he is a writer, not because there are people who will cheer him on when he is finished. Sure, most writers dream of the cheers, but a writer who will be a writer tomorrow is one who writes even when the fans don’t show up. A writer writes when everything looks hopeless and when everything is falling into place. A writer writes as a baby coohs. A writer writes as a child plays. A writer writes as a teenager dreams. And a writer writes as a grownup worries. A writer isn't a writer because he was chosen. A writer writes because it is what he has chosen. What does a writer write when the words are scarce? Many scarce words. What does a writer write when the words are abundant? Words in abundance. A writer doesn't wait for inspiration to hit, he writes until inspiration catches up with him. A writer doesn't write only when the muse is on duty, he writes until the muse feels shamed and shows up. A writer does not seek fame, though fame often seeks writers. A writer does not seek fortune, though fortune too often seeks writers. A writer doesn't seek anything but the satisfaction of writing, for fame and fortune are fickle and writing only for them leads to many a blank page. If I write something meaningful and it is not accepted, is it no longer meaningful? If I write words never before combined, will people rave over my originality, or complain about my lack of skill? I am a writer and so it doesn't really matter.

Dear, let me tenderize you like meat slap the silliness from heat bubbling bubbling bubbling to a boil. Dear, let me technically arouse you by letting each word escape like exasperation, a depletion of the senses as every finger or pressure point examines your body from head-to-toe. Dear, let me be no longer ashamed to touch or hold you close, let our breathing and beating submerge into higher thinking. Incinerating flames that lick the grate. Dear, let me dive deep into the crevice of your brain, all mushy grey matter, all the same. Dear, let me slice it open and **** out all the juices, licking licking licking each curve and crevice, My supple pink snake-like tongue reaching deeper deeper deeper into your mind. Dear, let me sink into your reality, bit by bit, and piece by piece until cohesiveness lays its eggs inside the deep hole within you. Dear, let me scratch the surface, trading dimes for dust and pecs for fluff. Let me swim in the depths of your hectic personality. Let me get to know you and all your originality. Let me breathe in your values and slurp up your mature decisions. Let me caress your life like two bulbous lights that hang from the existence of time. Let me illuminate you, serenade you, quiz you while ********* your sense of self-esteem. Dear, let me dream your dreams. Dear, let me sink my ***** mind games into your wet social brain. Don’t let the pressure get to you. Passion may play a key part in the sway! Let me suckle your sweet thoughts, play with your deriving initiatives. Let me hold your ideas in the sweat of my thighs, burning with desire to see myself through cobalt eyes. Let me feel the hot ***** of your ethical intentions and clear apparitions. Let me analyze your prerogatives and **** with your distribution methods. Dear, let me fiddle with your political views, (in the “other room”) and tickle your soft solutions on creating a world of doom. Let me ****** your sustainability, flirt with your progressive mindset, and squeeze your plump ambitions until they burst! Dear, let me push gently on your sensitive issues with your parents until they become less apparent. Let me stroke your disagreements with foreign policy until they shriek with mercy! Let me take you further and touch your blind senses to a pink paranoia of retentive defensive pretenses. Let me cuddle and snuggle your sense of self-worth and pleasure your brain with mind-bending words. Dear, let me dance with your intelligence until we sink into oblivious mind-sex bliss…….
