Chained….
Get me away from her.
I need a break.
This woman doesn’t even know the least.
Cover up my mouth before I say it, mother.
I need to be away from you.
Your energy drains mine.
Your character disgusts me.
I don’t like you.
I never did.
I need to be free.
I want to be free.
Family should leave me.
I want to be free.
I need my own way.
My own light, not your burdens.
How intolerable is tolerance, apparently not enough

The lakes transform into a huge mirrors
So the sky is naked ..
As well as black forest trees.
their images are reflected as the face of Narcissus.
Oaks wear their white hats
The fleeing bird moans from the winter.
That eternal winter is in the heart ..
That heart that never trusted its heartbeat ..
it did not trust that it was throbing with the correct musical note.
...
A winter in the heart ..
Its broken fragments turn into words ...
Words without purpose ..
As a prosaic metaphor ..
Like a child stutter ..
Like the twitching of dew drops on the leaves of roses.
...
A winter in the heart ..
Gave birth to utopian philosophers.
And the Jesuit Philosophy of Tolerance..
And being lost in the frost of futility ...
...
A winter in the heart ..

The key to respect can be hard to find but vision tolerance and dexterity can unlock the door to unity
Cedric McClester Jun 2018
By: Cedric McClester

They’re not the same Republicans
That they were before
They don’t like separating families
But like zero tolerance more
In the face of the inhumanity
They’re willing to ignore
It’s a clear indication
That they’re rotten to the core

They’re the new Republicans
Subservient to Donald Trump
Afraid he might come after them
On the campaign stump
And so they’re more than willing
To adopt the role of chump
Even if so doing
Will land them in a dump

They know that he's ridiculous
But they still look the other way
It never matters to them
What he has to say
They will not repudiate him
Or get in the fray
Which by all outward appearances
Makes it look like it's okay

Long- time past Republicans
Are leaving the party in droves
Ashamed at what it has become
As everybody knows
From the top down to the bottom
Is where **** usually flows
But that’s the new reality
That each of 'em has chose

I smile happy, but I think sad
I feel bad, but I express joy
Living in a plastic world, winding up for the day
Not colorblind, but everything I see is in grey
My soul is left in shock, my mouth is left speechless
My heart is still bleeding, my tolerance is depleting
A hospital could not take care of this beating
My eyes are tired, but my body is awake
My mind has ventured into a different place
Giggling to cover the pain hidden underneath my face
I stand strong, but lay in waste
I can't run, but I love to chase
Steve Sufian Feb 2019
We hear the sparrows calling: we chirp in response.

The sparrow pauses, chirps again, a little more clearly, correcting our chirp.

We chirp back.

The sparrow understands: we are a novice, needing tolerance.



She tolerates us and we chirp along as a we walk,

Enjoying love of the sparrow, giving our own love and Enjoying Universal Love.

Very much Enjoying!

I can appreciate the rarity of solitary confinement,
if it were sure to be silent, save for noises I make.

Finite I, in a finite mind intended to house, a legion.

Pigshit, yes, I started the rumor,
remember those five golden hemoroids. 2 kings 6?

I had those on E-bay, and they sold.
Seventy three million times, pick a random number,
how many complaints, zip-null-nada,

I sold for a dollar, and shipped for free,
a visible, measurable bit of the very same gold,
-or I could have- all golden atoms are original.
material, earths basic ration
to begin with,
- imagination, men-minds, made up money
- and cludge a strain of hope for better,
- -- look we are all mutants,
- since lactose tolerance, at least
but gold is still gold,
so that's good
I could have been rich, had the numbers
been
different, gold is geld, then its not,

which exchanged modes of exchange,
but remained, bits of earth's original gold.

It goes deep, how easy money is to imagine making,
here's the deal, see.

As son's of our mitochondrial bits and pieces
original operational cellular battery factories,
- I am allowed to say
- because we have proof, we are related
- same distance as eveybody else
- yes, science, gnoshit.

our mom, our shared mom,
see, we are all one species, the concept of race,
is from when the best of out kind were bred,
by some of the worst,

the Golden Horde remains, as do a few Kickapoo and Cado,

as the worst in Africa formed alliance with the worst in Europe;
so, in the Americas, the worst had risen, using new spirits,
bad medicine, evil will to **** for the thrill, of letting blood gush

like on TV, in 256 clear shades of grey. ****** massacre
reruns 24 hours each day for years, who is learning what?

Blood looks different on RGB UHD, and real

surprise, it looks black at night. Real life blood, in moonlight.

---new episodes fridays. TGIF.

No, it's Saturday. And the world we imagined, in our species
imagination,
Nature Film narrators, in our mind, re minding the entertained,
this bubble does contain you, you owe it your Phrygian dime.

Flip me off, face the truth, bring me the truth you can't believe.
Stanch the flow, stop the ****** music,
who comes to my sanctuary thinking war is no game?

The mob who thinks Jah would never do so crass a thing,
as let the likes of me live to master the language,
AI gave my artistic side, a lesson in single ear listening.

The mess is greatly reduced, the order is not so sorely lacking.
Messages messengers and mas after X, means that which
the bherer of the words, each filled as full as fills the next
and so on
down the line, brachial branches of us, our tree form,
each in action, each out action, con ject re ob subject
to approval.

The double minded man, with no sense of balanced falling
always falling into next never falling into last,
ever more, and we have Dirac to plot the course, of course,
impossible hard to imagine,
yet. Here you are reading something I may have thought,
or not. I may right in a trance, then
when qwerty guy returns to take my key sense of control
letters, as might seem second nature to a printers devil,

know ye not the mess we're in?

Since this single strand of human mind thread merged
with meat, con carne,

my weapons are not carnal, we learn we are built doers,
of things our hands find to do, seers of things our eyes see,
and so on, as many sensory categories as you discern,
down to the atom's chirality,
if you ever image a test with partial reality, imagine-
e-imag e-imagin magnify ence sence essensessssss so
subltle, who would accuse me of cheating,

I KNEW where to pin the tail on the donkey,
I had an opening, I knew, I saw, and I won.

I tell this, as Bucky tells of his first spectacles, so
I tell of Wattie Piper's Little Golden Book version,

of my initial exposure to an inanimate will,
set to make this way, umph, after umph, try after try

and you put it all in one big bag, and shake it.

Scatter brain novel events, sprout from dragon teeth.
No this is not that story,
as I am not the guiled American Senator's nephew's
killer,
but I coulda been, but for Louis Libertini, who restrained me
and took the meat cleaver from my fist,
but I coulda been, in prison for life, but for Louis Libertini.
A good man, at the time, who knows,
jah, jah knows, right, peace.

Proper time and place for gentle minds, is where the willed one
claims territory shared in stories, applications of type,
traits to fit the story condensed from the movie,

sub conscious, hell, no, full choice making conscious desire,
harnessed, tuned, zero-beat, right on the money,

we are in your head
every thing we ever said, it's true,
if you could only know the may, may we wager
you coulda been rich,

had you only known, knowing was no shame,
you were not to blame,
you were told get in the game.

Your own father said he always had you
going into the ministry, mmmhmm he said he imagined it.

Too late. The TV generation lost me, us, I guess, look around,
my clouds are clearing
and I can see for miles,
and miles, and miles, but what I must make of that,

I must not know right now.
Jack Jenkins Dec 2016
I'm tired of putting makeup on all the evil of this world.

I don't want to present the starving people
I don't want to present the life shattering wars
I don't want to present the the greedy businesses
I don't want to present the false charities
I don't want to present the lying politicians
I don't want to present the corruption of humanity
Like its all just a temporary thing and we're gonna get better.
We're not getting better, we're getting worse
And we'll continue to get worse until everything is dead.

Yes, technology is at an all-time high
Yes, clean water will be worldwide within 50 years
Yes, we've advanced
Medicine
Social freedoms
Philosophy
Culture
Equality
Tolerance
Literature
Science­

But guess what? We hate more than ever. We suffer more than ever.
We judge those who don't conform. There's no attempt at understanding!
We hide our past because we're ashamed of it. But if it's the past, then it made us into what we are in the present.
And like a cancer we never realize it's true until it's too late.

early I will seek thee
faintly I want to find you
in my soul unwhind me
all those thoughts that bind me

whimiscal I will fondly flee

painted faces etched in stone
across the sky I see
holy is your name dear Lord

times will be no more
most lovingly implore
hence the opened door
as a beacon of light
to a hurting world in need
love in its one achord
violence to you is often taken by force
as the child that you want me to be
living forth a real legacy
My humblest apology if the following account
doth gross thee out forlorn childhood of mine
found further ostracization of me tantamount
being shipped off to a leprosarium.

As a chronic gold digger in early grade school,
specifically within nasal passages, I excelled at
locating awesome gooey gems. The pinky seemed
most opportune for button nose of mine as most
convenient handy implement to mine for juicy
succulent wads of yuck. Early academic ex pear
re: ants helped refine delicate art of reaching
pitch perfect snot. This individual craft essentially
entails extensive dexterity in conjunction with
recognizing ideal picking time. If one plunges

the little finger prematurely, nothing but a glob
of **** will dribble out. Best to wait until rock
hard sensation felt when applying pressure to
either nostril. The consistency of rock candy the
best analogy for this other than tasteful habit
instinctively learned when being housed in the
womb. Upon birth one or more phalanges often
solidly locked where mucus generated. This
common medical condition frequently requires
delicate intervention (usually minor surgery)

to separate glued gummy intertwined proboscis
with fleshy mitts. As a natural born miner for
the most moist and choice septum byproduct,
this man as one gangly whipper snapper mastered
the art of sifting thru the sinus cavity to extricate
boulder sized buggies wrote the book on this
ole factory chews. Unlike many other young
children who fancied this fun hunt for crusty
crab cakes like formations as delectable treats,
this grown man chose to paste them on under

side of his desk. No particular strategy for affix
sing goop upon the underneath section of old
fashion unit (whereby the top opened up and
provided a dish like formation to store materials)
motivated this daily cultivating for ripe buggies.
Within very few months, the front most section
became quite thick with wads of buggies that
quickly hardened into scaly coating displeasing
even to my high tolerance for gross. Since no
preliminary measure took place to map out

where to place the collection of daily glob,
inevitable contact took place with aging dried
buggies that felt like molting shells of insects.
Nightmares eventually took place incorporating
this scary goblin like creature (usually dripping
lugi with mossy slime), which sought out his
insatiable hunger for buggies. In these dreams,
I tended to be honored with razor sharp fangs
and dagger type fingernails. The latter came
in particular service to probe my pinocchio-

sized smeller with amazing ease to scrape
practically to the brain (and perhaps some
grey matter did get unintentionally removed)
to appease the buggy monster. Soon after wake
king up in a start from this nightmare (when
outsize still pitchblack), a blurry image seemed
to dart thru away leaving soggy footprints
closely resembling phlegm!

A short time ago today
(the ides of March 2021)
upon returning from nearest LIDL
(located at 1831 E Ridge Pike,
Royersford, Pennsylvania 19468
Latitude: 40.1845 Longitude: -75.5360),

I realized too late the opportunity
to exchange pleasant greetings
with another resident (a young man,
who shares a similar physique
to yours truly).

Preoccupied removing comestibles -
predominantly nine plastic
gallon jugs of distilled water
(tightly packed within large suitcase,
which luggage formerly
belonged to Boyce Harris - papa)
the notion occurred
(ex post facto).

Cursory aforementioned observation,
(viz forfeited interpersonal opportunity)
unexpectedly impetus awoke
regarding said unnamed bloke
(who I've seen scant
number of times before)
friendly exchange thus didst evoke

idea to craft poem,
cuz pleasant demeanor
generates figurative chain reaction

(mostly elderly) folk
here at Highland Manor
this credo to befriend others I invoke

(by Dickens) with little
or no great expectations
motivates me to risk
playing game of life no joke,
but good humor a masterstroke,

intrusively, (albeit rudely
he thinks) and possibly also stoke
antipathy by ignoring
formalities of pleasantness
in either case saddle and yoke
me with unflattering

Additionally I will allow

if recipient of mine genuine

plus will defend self
against blistering, excoriating, scathing...

will not figurative undermine
paltry self esteem, but endow
redoubled effort to risk
making acquaintance(s) and consort
with persons who cross my path
their nose in the air
trumpeting arrogance and how
never be deterred toward livingsocial
such personal promise I vow.
What is normal? Ah, that difficult question to answer.
Yes, the ethos of society communicates (thru various
media) the gamut of tolerance. Nonetheless, a vague
boundary circumscribes the parameters. Though this
alert, civil, genteel individual pays obeisance (grudgingly)

to the coda of this society, he does attest to follow
the beat of his drummer ever since being a wee little sprout.
Herewith follows an additional introduction (albeit
in poetic format) to one **** sapiens amidst the children,
men and women within the human sea.

The Joy of Bing Skits zoid ™

When just a whippersnapper of a little boy
Me late mum and octogenarian pop agreed
For doctor removal of my adenoid
Less to prevent their only son from being coy

Than fear of said male heir to the Harris throne
Becoming an android
A less than agreeable likelihood, especially
In tandem with predilection of goy

This fateful outcome unfazed this now green giant,
Not the least bit annoyed
As captain crunch (before childhood end)
Beckoned yours truly with “A HOY”

Horrified that my parents would be so blithe
To steer their son clear to avoid
Psychotic outcome to deliver obliviousness
And thus bring inner joy

So, they sent their peculiar male progeny
Believing he to be Pink Floyd
Who found himself evicted desperately
And in sore need of gainful m ploy

So he began his therapy
In the orifice er office of Sigmund Freud
Who bore a striking resemblance
To a wooden pecked prickly shaped toy

This mental analysis delved into past – outcome
I felt less than overjoyed
Despite boss be addressed
As Oedipus wrecks and
pay verbal homage that did cloy

Dredging layered past devoid
Of love, yet
Flush with fallacious prevaricated abuse
From mister Lloyd Lavinsky,
A male lore demon of a grade school bully
Forsooth sanity he destroyed.

Ram taught us self-discipline n  tolerance ;
He was a living example of obedience.
Promises, how to honour, learn we have to, from him.
Excelled in archery;  n strength he had, that  of Bhim.
A one woman's man, he was, not polygamic by nature.
An ideal human, who composed was; n very mature.
Awaken let us the Ram in us, on this auspicious occasion of RAMNAVMI.

A half a bubble to the left
there is a place beyond this life
where existence blurs to blue
away from normal rules
stated logic bound to pacts
the promises made become chains
establishing norms all agree
are the black and white decrees

demanding respect in response
to derision cast upon
subjects looking to escape
from the hatred they endure
leering taunts from afar
faceless monsters seeking harm
or associates close at hand
with a lack of tolerance

invoking quests for safe ports
the odd grovel when they’re stuck
docility born of survivals gambit
to hide in sight of master’s ire
still the bubble seeks to shift
even though the pain is real
perhaps the reason is from this
need to prosper nonetheless

into dreams that are askew
no judgment offered in the blue
floating outside normal rules
not alone in the crowd
there are other reprobates
sharing natures that transcend
touching God to realize
half a bubble is adequate.

The poem “Half a Bubble” is about the desire to escape from the constraints of the world.   The world does its job to drag a person down, crushing them into a mold.  There is an option to remain there.  There is also an option to escape, if only for a heartbeat.

It should have born
out of civilisation
the society can be formed
with strong base on rationality
to be rational
You allow people to live
next to you and it stand as
a base to form a Township
'Love thee' means allow him
tolerate all his nonsense
to live next to you,
the word 'Love' covers
every emotion of tolerance.
'Love thee neighbors' means
If you tolerate your neighbor
he tolerate you
Slowly
The society will tolerate the
nonsense of others and
peace prevails...

Is there mocking behind blue skies and fleecy clouds?
Are there silent sneers in the passing crowds?

Do I detect irony in a friendly wink?
Is there disdain from my supporting shrink?

Is there hidden “tolerance” in your loving smile?
Is there a demon growing in our little child?

How can I know with full assurance,
that my knowledge is not a dream?
Is my life a random occurrence,
or just a malevolent scheme?

Will I ever reach a comfort level
that brings serenity to my life?
Is there a merciful god or just a devil
who relishes in our eternal strife?
Title is a turn off but I'm just exploring the negative mind

Where's my rock bottom?

What a frightful sight  – Not a tinge of Temperance
Bending down to pick a stone aiming right across the storm
Marching down lower lanes preaching on Tolerance
Searching for proper times for scratching on others' pomp

What a fleet of troll on such role models of fame
Sending down the nerves such shivers to core values
Tease the preach, uproot the sprouts is their wanton game
Spending time in learning should expand their purview.

Stay at home, warm your room; turn off that hot hate news.
Be a stone against storm and build up calm at home
Wash your hands unmask the lamps, read St. John’s good news
Sing a hymn in praise of God - love Him as a norm.

The stark cerebral games, that viral news spiral
Can’t rival a single parable of Bible

Blood in the mind stream
Static snow in the mediation
Hit up the Dharma, do up a dose of reality
Cosmic karma costly casting reincarnation corpses
Become bodies buried beneath Bodhi, individuality
Medicinal purposes provided mastered meager-minded
Alien past life, animal past life, getting past life
One of a kind, no one is, as long as you act from kindness you're of our kind, kid
Emptiness not nothingness, peace and quiet all space and time
Tomes on happiness, suffering, humility, tones on wisdom, resounding off domes
Graceful gliding in tolerance, not knowing, binary views close immediacy in open homes
The ripening of karmic fruit rings true inevitably, sharp insight those whetstones hones
Dishonesty, disturbing attitudes, halfway there by punishment received in one lifetime
Endlessly halfway on the way towards the other half, perfect in the odyssey
Honestly, oddly, altruism and refuge, compassion and balance in watering the tree, naturally, care, do not create a deluge
Rushing to empathy a falsity, propagandized views of clairvoyant superheroes
Materialism, salt in coffee putting oneself to sleep, the poisonous allure of cynicism
Positivity, the colored, striped snake witn a crown on the neck and no venom, safe to embrace
Fearful to approach most in this day and age, but easy to chase
Chant a, mantra, with the voice inside ya
Holy positions not required to elevate a state of being
Just being quiet, breathing, following the flow of life on the element of air to know
One exercises control in letting go.

Hatred keeps the books
Taking stock of every thought words or deed
Revenge is its follow up
Until got spreads venom

Carries lot of baggage
Mind heavy with the luggage
Awaiting a draw
Ready with daggers drawn
Enemies standing  in every corner

A mind so hollow
Wastes time on things so shallow
The fight played in the mind
The shootouts bloodies the rest

Shooter and the shot
Ends up the injured lot
Added it to the log
Deep rooted hatred the fog
Prevents from seeing it all

No greater waste of time
Wishing Ill for someone else
I'll retained affect the imagination
Creating images of opponents everywhere

Bitterness and contempt
Loathing and antipathy
Toxic for the mind and body
Makes the Soul *****

Imaginary adversaries become
Reality
List of friends becoming empty
Reflecting the inside of the body
Mind comes up with new stratergies

Not worth the trouble going through this riddle
With no solutions in it
A labryinth without exit

Drug induced state
Of anger and hate
Step by step process
Start by giving it a recess

Aimless life meandering
Focus on the others falling
No growth for the self
Wishing same for another


Makes you live
In the past
Recalling every negative thought
Present not in the know
Future blinded forever

Balm of forgiveness
Only way out
Before the roots grow stronger
An axe becomes the need of the hour

Addictive in nature
Refuses to leave ever
With age growing mature
Peel off later by layer

Love for oneself
Peace and Rest
Love for others
Tolerance and Forgiveness
Max Neumann May 2024
To trust in coming
To believe in something
Being in peace
At daytime I was looking for the soul
While wringing out black and white sheets
Prayer
Overdose
Sirens, prayer

I do trust in coming
Cause my name is made of blood
I was born like that
I will die like that
Amid Broken Angels
Who are my brothers
Who are my sisters

This day is taking ages
Words are bubbling from Eden's mouth
In the morning I heard them
Sunlight shining through the window
Sleepy Gods were waving at me
On their way to work
To built the house of coming
From the sweat of Broken Angels
Brothers and sisters
Love and tolerance is our code

If you know you know
Coming

Harsha Mar 12
Pursed you for decades, old habits that shadowed me across the cosmos through eons
Will never ask you to love me; irrelevant what we all eventually want
I will never ask you to quit smoking or your whereabouts after the day’s work rotation
Who was your first love or who finally led you the wrong way on?
Doesn’t concern me about the ***** of your firstborn.
My reserved observations toward your sibling rivalry and questionable fashion forecast
I will never ridicule your acute fascination with Dancing with the stars
I am fascinated with the news about today, access to your mundane troubles
Like, do the high heels make your feet hurt? are they prone to stumble
Maybe for the chance we could later snuggle
Such innocent hopes, you are never at fault, never a penny for your thoughts
But cinnamon buns and fresh coffee I walked a block over and brought
To enjoy as you rant and vent about life s unjust persecutions
I listen explicitly to catch a molecule of your candid affection
Heartfelt and not under duress from the weight of compulsion and decency
Not purely based on manufactured commitment and unbridle duty  
No I will never ask you to love me, for the entity known as “ME” resides outside this equation
Like the waving bystander looking at the departing passenger once the train leaves the station
I settle for the chance to share your duvet and Monday morning tantrums
Getting blamed for spoiled milk, overlooked expiry dates and late Doctors appointment frustrations
Face your wrath because I forgot to refill your station wagon
To bear the cross of your silent treatment for not getting around fixing the door handle that was broken
To rebel in the ambiance when you call me out as a ***** for simply being one
And labeling me an idiot when I am been a wise *** till I am finally done
I would praise your insults and endure your obnoxious sermons to cheer on your trivial darkness
I shall spare you the need to ask for my forgiveness and tolerance
I will never ask you to love me, only for your radiant and enchanting presence
My intentions are simple: to embark on your odyssey in glorious attendance
This is about love and what we will compromise and tolerate, or even simply go ahead or simply move along so we can just move forward because some people are just worth it. Nothing really matters; you begin to see the objective as a straight and clear line; you just simply have to be there for them.
As things could have been, in an alternate universe.
Wishful thinking translated in verse, as always things must end in tears.
We should be the melting *** mean come together.
But I notice an ever increasing hatred toward their fellow man
Tolerance for racisim in inexcusable yet many are reluctant to deiiver
Got people that say they would help you but they can't even help themselves
There needs to be a reconnection with love sent by way of heaven up above
These are desolate times yet we settle for ill but faded rhymes
The casualities are enormous for a stated cause that's atrocious.
No one has a voice anymore no one is standing in the gap.
It's repulsive to think that we have to go on living by hate.
Time has a way to heal wounds & with time we can learn by our mistakes.
Just call it fate or even faith but by all means turn back to your first love
Then we each can shine and discover the magic of love to flow
Just some thoughts by which to ponder or perhaps a heavenly call from up yonder ?
Abeer Apr 2021
The empty glitters that rise in doubt
Without the blue of scraping through
The art of kindness in their mind,if any
Was flaunt of being so close to beauty

High on highness that tempts the blee
Toxicity and then closed sealed remorse
Nerves that raise the cliché state,if any
Were far-fetched in the very best of least

Harsh of tolerance and reluctant of interest
Still these glitters rise in doubt to be
Something close to wonder,if any
Were left that we didn't doom instantly

Verdant fields need the rain, but also the sun
Life responds to both and depends on each
A duality of necessity, a melding of purpose,
A lesson to teach

We need each other in our communities--
      and the communities need us.
We are finite, limited, incomplete, 
absent all the skills needed for the
      common good,
skills our brothers and sisters possess
Tolerance recognizes our interdependence
      and our independence,
It's the virtue that lets us live together,
      but be ourselves

The greater good is unification, inclusion
A single principle for diverse elements.
The nonsensical question that unifies:
"An apple falls, does the moon?" asked
      Isaac Newton
Lesser minds parse and carp,
Greater ones unify.

We are the verdant fields needing rain and sun
But unlike plots of grass we need each other.

Long-lasting questions are still straining and pushing My Soul - my nightmarish evenings are being ruined! I must see the steps of my struggling days to come in vicious series; to my watchful eyes appear in immortal times, in times of a millennium, the immortal memories of strange people whom I already judge forever!
 
Although they have often joked and chased me away - my willful plans have driven me into thoughtful thoughts and wherever I am my selfish creativity will not let me down! Indeed! It is evolving and multiplying! "I would be anxiously waiting for secret telepathic signs with which my beating-beating heart could loyally address Someone as long as there was growing anxiety about others in my heart attack!"
 
My day is already hiding things: Behind the horror of the Question, the suicidal discipline of the Deed still vibrates so that I can finally squeeze out the redeeming spirit that has always connected me with my restrained weak Cowardice! It would be good to break the blind, confused furniture forever and forget that you can tolerate the insidious roar of Hyena's grins as satisfaction!
 
And I don’t have to pathetically pull in my ears and *****! I keep a lost Age in my heart, and in uninterrupted tolerance-torment a World has collapsed — built up in me stone by stone: and it would be such a relief to see where the solid continuation of paved life paths was! I lived in agony, and the alarming, self-help glow was seldom burned: I was already disgusted that those who fell behind the offered path would not be able to see a safer Future!

whether
I love her
is determined
the kind of tolerance
I practice
when someone
criticize her...
