Arts & Humanities - 1 December 2007

The beautiful, perfect, deep rich red,
A wonderful shroud over a humble head.
Like a ruby in the July sun it shines,
Edges sparkling with golden lines.

The velvety softness of the shroud,
So humble, yet oh-so-proud.
A rough thorny body that easily harms,
Yet so quickly and magically charms.

The purfumy scent as I slowly breathe in,
Smelling so sweet it should be a sin.
I don't want to leave the blissful place,
The scent surrounds me so I'm completely encased.

The musical words of love that he speaks to me.
Is he talking about us? Is he talking about we?
Is he making a promise of happily-ever-after,
Or just giving me a fun moment, filled with laughter?

Yeahhh I'm going to ignore those smart-**** comments.

So. Think you're safe? Better off not thinking about it?

One who hurts children will never win,
God will avenge such an awful sin,
And set an example for all men,
To prevent this outrage from happening again.
What will these sinners say
On judgement day,
When they're at the gates
Where god patiently waits
And asked why they did what god hates.
They will pay, God won't delay
For the grave mistake they made
By having their way,
With defenseless creatures,
Who are taught to trust their teachers,
Whose natural dependence is betrayed,
And for one who hurts a child
The consequences won't be mild,
God will always avenge the pain of an innocent child.

Now, I don't think I'm the greatest poet and I also can't remember how I got the inspiration to write this either.

Anyway it's called Frogs and Dogs:

Frogs and Dogs in togs, sat on a log, overlooking a briny bog.
Hogs and Mogs at a bar, drinking Egg-nog, get up and jog through a busy fog, moving fast like clockwork cogs.
Those frogs and dogs jump off that log then swim about in that briny bog,
While the hogs and mogs, they stop their jog and make their way slowly out of that busy fog.

The frogs, dogs, hogs and mogs all meet up upon that log.
Then… the mogs chase the frogs, while the dogs chase the mogs, and the hogs chase the dogs.
While the hogs and mogs get lost in the fog, the frogs and dogs escape in their togs whilst swimming fast and far in that briny bog.
The hogs and mogs jog, back to the bar to continue drinking like never-ending clockwork cogs, their favourite drink, Egg-nog.

Selective Saints

Mary and all the Martyrs
A bravery we no longer notice
Christ-like compassion’s passé
For the sake of profit
All God’s laws are quite vague

A golden pathway requires investment
Who will manage it?
Men of money and power charge by the hour

Hooray for the Red, White and Blue
All for you…and yours…but what about theirs?
Sculpted hair, tattoos and a chrome plated booger

Look at me!
Mary and all the Martyrs?
Is that a band?

Before Mohammad, city of Baghdad,
On the Tigris, kingdom of the Persians,
Before son Jesus, city of Baghdad,

Before your George Bush, city of Baghdad,
Flowing waters on a parched sand desert,
Before the Romans, city of Baghdad,

Before Sheik Omar, city of Baghdad,
In Islam’s Golden Age of Mathematics,
Before Buwayhids, city of Baghdad,

Before Timur the Lame, city of Baghdad,
Sacked again by the Turks and the Mongols
Before Ottoman, city of Baghdad,

Before the British, city of Baghdad,
War to end all wars, and then another,
Before bombs dropping, city of Baghdad,

Before death Saddam, city of Baghdad,
Stop the killing of women and children,
Before rebuilding, city of Baghdad,

or just a figment of your imagination? Answering because you can touch me or hear me is not acceptable since I can percieve hearing and touching the things in my dreams, but that does not make them real.

these are quotes o found from the Kuran:

"...take not life, which God hath made sacred, except by way of justice and law: thus doth He command you, that ye may learn wisdom."
(Al- Quran 6:151)

"And do not let ill-will towards any folk incite you so that you swerve from dealing justly. Be just; that is nearest to heedfulness"
(Al- Quran 5:8)

"...if any one slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people."
(Al- Quran 5:32)

"Do not let your hatred of a people incite you to aggression."
(Al- Quran 5:2)

I am confused by the philosophies and methodologies of the world. There must be a deeper meaning to peace than for 'some people' to accept 'enforced mediocrity'. I am not perfect; so please tell me...

Enger-lish is hard, you see
Words, segments, and sentence-ease
It's harder still,
On beer and pills,
And reefer makes it worse
I suggest you put these down,
Before you work on complex verse

Nonsensical inkblot dribbler,
Babbling crayon scribbler,
You don’t care about art, do you?
Oh fountain of horrible Haiku.

Worrisome wobbling meddler,
Cornball muffin fluff peddler,
Simpleton rhyming, Keystone Kop timing,
Butt jokes, eye pokes, then miming.

When will you ever get serious?
These puns, they make me delirious,
I want to hear more about politics,
Not your friends and their hockey sticks!

Our most highly respected scholar,
He’s downstairs in cards for a dollar,
His pen, a burden unbearable,
Mediocrity, oh so terrible.

LIKE A FEATHER

LIKE A FEATHER,
FLUTTERING ADRIFT NOWHERE.
LIKE A FEATHER,
DROWNING FLIGHT MAY END ANYWHERE…

LIKE A FEATHER,
LOVELY IT SEEMS TO BE;
LIFE SPENT SO FREELY,
IN ABSENCE OF SECURITY.

SMOOTH ON ITS SURFACE,
ROUGH ON ITS SURVIVAL;
A FEATHER-LIKE PALACE,
IN AMBIVALENT CARNIVAL.

AS CUPID GOES ON AND ON,
TWO HEARTS SETS AFIRE;
A FEATHER-LIKE BOND,
EMBROIDERED BY DESIRE.

LIKE A FEATHER,
DROWNING FLIGHT ENDS EVERYWHERE…
BUT UNLIKE A FEATHER,
CRASH-LANDING LEAVES US NOWHERE!!!
