Pleasure!

Pleasure.

The appetite and pressure for pleasure,
Fed and met without restrain,
Soon becomes an addictive drug,
An addiction on growth hormones,
And pleasure which otherwise should be a treasure,
Brings us double trouble in full measure.

Stop the hypocrisy.

Stop the hypocrisy.

If you hate corruption,
Don't you dare give a bribe,
And don't take one,
If you court the end of illiteracy,
Send an illiterate to school,
If you hate the hunger in the world,
Feed a hungry mouth,
If all the lying makes you sick,
Give the truth some life,
If you hate the hatred in the world,
Love somebody today,
If you hate the frowning in this place,
Put a smile on a face,
Even if it is yours,
It is as contagious as the cold,
Leave the things you hate alone,
If you can't stand the dirty streets,
Don't litter them yourself,
And pick up that littered paper by your side,
Do the things you want to see,
Stop the hypocrisy.

Memoire fatale.

Memoire fatale.

Memories of our time in the woods,
Knight me with a thousand knighthoods,
Memories which hallow an otherwise common place,
Where you resurrected the dying sun with the smile on your face,
When we watched the doe and the buck,
Grazing daintily with the grace of swimming duck,
Deer romance which made ours pale to nothing,
Oh that magical moment I will trade for nothing,
Memories of you in my arms,
Memories which turn against me with arms,
Which nourish a killing desire,
Light an all consuming fire,
Desire for one more time,
This time we'll celebrate with the finest wine.

Wild Beauty!

Wild beauty!

Oh my goodness,
She is beautiful,
Modestly clad in skins and beads,
Expression of a wild kind of beauty,
Without the encumbrance,
Of the make up hand of (wo)man,
Soaring and towering,
Unfurling and unfolding full expression,
Conjuring images of that oasis of beauty,
In the heart of the vast natural forests,
Flowering trees and greenery,
Wild orchids and flowers of every hue,
Wild bushes of roses,
Planted and nursed,
By nature's very hands,
Enabled by the Almighty God.

Father

Father.

Fatherhood does not end with the donation of sperm,
It is in fact the beginning of a father's term,
Head of the family,
Live the good father's homily,
If you've been an absentee father,
Know it hurts when you're farther,
Work and the past is not an excuse,
You can't be recluse,
If your father was terrible,
Strive to become adorable,
Children don't just want your money,
Even with that childhood can be horny,
The family needs your time,
A complete family clime,
A father's best gift to a child,
Is time spent grooming the child,
If you have been a bad father,
Choose to be a better father,
Be the role model,
Or the world will provide any model,
I thank every father,
Especially my own father,
Happy father's day.

The best criticism - the best revolt.

The best criticism - the best revolt.

The best revolt,
With a healthy dose of electric volt,
Requires better than a colt,
The best criticism,
Requires better than an eye trained to see the flawed ism,
It is concrete action,
Might require interaction,
Actions taken to change a broken status quo....

Present.

Present.

God's best present to humanity,
Is the present of His presence,
Through the vicissitudes of life,
That present is in the present,
Receive it,
It is now,
Material gifts can be gross,
Gold as good as dross,
All I need is you Lord...
