REMAINING UNBROKEN
******************************************
My life would shock most people. It is a little known fact that there are quite a number of those on the fringes who may not ever see relief. I am that one you never met, in that we are kept separate by way of societal demands that the poor remain silent, biddable, childlike nonentities without a say as to our care or how it's to be provided.
******************************************
I tend to view things as a selfdisicplined person without advantages. If this won't set with some, then I guess they are not ready to remember who we are as one entity, governed by everyone inclusively. I will not cease to point out any diseased thinking I run across here in the USA.
****************************************** I stand in defense of the weakened, the brutally treated, the denied, the ones for whom life's trial can be too much. I stand with my thought, even when my legs are weakened, my stride not strong.
******************************************
Walk with me on this journey, now, wherein we may ask each other: How much is the value of one person affected by what is generally assumed about them?

Coldly Forgiving
Ted was an architect who was not partciularly popular with the others in his firm, but neither was he unlikeable, just quietly studious and solemn.
We met at a cocktail party one rainy summer evening. I had slipped off my heels, and was padding around in my stockinged feet on my… Read full post »

JD's OC: Where Will You Be?
Where will you be, when the trumpets don't sound?
Where will you be when the moon becomes even colder than before?
Where will you be when the lies aren't told any longer?
Where will you be?
Locked in love's embrace?
Out racing the wind in your sports car?
Diving into cool… Read full post »
My Duct Tape Journey
Duct tape doesn't really patch everything; it sort of helps things hang in there while we make up our minds what to do next.
That's what my life's been like for ten years, one duct taped (mis)adventure after another.
I generally like to keep at least… Read full post »
Poem: Fevered Dreams
The invariable question is
how to like oneself

My Mount St Helens Memory
(Photo from Wikipedia.org)
I have a confession to make.
I think we're doomed.
Not only us, but most of the wildlife on this planet is, basically, living on geologic borrowed time.
I once flew over Mount St. Helens on a flight out of Seattle, 14 years afte… Read full post »

The Female Apartheid
When it comes to male intuition, I'm guessing most men miss out. They tout it as ours, as though we women held the effective rights on such faculties as intuition, nesting, and basic care of the main body of humanhood.
Women are still in the majority, yet we act like a… Read full post »
Foolish Monkey's OC: Women Must Fight a New Way
Stand up, ladies!
Stand up and fight!
Kick off those ridiculously high heels and fight like real women!
We are losing ground and must begin over again in legal terms. The truth is, what's been happening via the nastier side of Republicanism is purely unconstitutional, and we know i… Read full post »
Commercial Effluvia
There is a code that must be strictly adhered to if one is to become president.
It involves capitulation to forces we no longer hear from directly. One has only to look into what happens whenever any president as astute as Barack Obama tries to really do something for the people:… Read full post »

Pirate Second Class PW reporting to Zumalicious, Pirate Queen Extraordinaire!

A Paucity of Body Language
Nobody's talking here.
They say they do it, but do they know that expression is more in the eyes than the words being given? Or in a hand's gesture more than in eye contact?
And why is it always about who said what to… Read full post »
