I
kinda
loathe abject
stupidity.
The kind where foolish doesn’t know it’s foolish.
Mainly when they double down on the dumb.
A blemish on

who would have thought
being a stranger in a very strange land
looking for better opportunities, peace
and respite from the atrocities of war
would mean a continued fight against another’s bigotry
it hurts this humanist’s heart
Reblogs – Murray Robertson & Frank Solanki
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed pulling from my collection of read poetry that is recent and from further back to share with you. It’s remarkable to me how they somehow line up to share similar concepts or emotions, or maybe it’s me reading that into them? What do you think?

I Am Not A Bad Person by Frank Solanki
I am not a bad person
Just covered in pile of dirt
Layers and layers and layers
Layers of pain and hurt
Look at me closely though
Through the dark of skin
A treasure chest of love
You shall find within

We are our own worst enemies, right?
how often do we forgive
the transgressions of others
before we forgive the ones
we commit against ourselves
Wordle #484
Would the stories in pictures on the wall touch upon the black secrets of Harroway Hall? I think not. But I’m sure random flies and their narrow view at small parties would probably elicit very hushed yet profound tales of those gathered. I would throw money down that I was correct. But first, fresh country air was calling.
“Hold my jacket, James,” realizing it would be getting warmer. “Hopefully, she is better at following my lead this morning after yesterday’s disastrous ride.“
“Yes, sir. The wire you made me tape onto the whip should provide you the results you want.

So much truth in this statement. But don’t let that change you. Just be aware.
Most you’ll meet in life will be good to you with cruel intent.

Inspired by Reena’s Exploration Challenge #150 – Illusions
in our private world
free to be
but in public
we disguise ourselves
masks worn
don’t reflect actuality
hidden behind facades
in plain sight
reality is best served
with illusions
people don’t have patience
for the truth
or we don’t have the time
to speak it
to callous beings
wearing their own screen
Reblog – I Can’t Unsee It Now by Angelique Rose
Angelique’s piece is a wonderful analogy of how the gazillion individuals lives resembles the gazillion books out there. Enjoy!
I looked out into the world
And I saw it
.
.
.
We are all main characters in our own books
.
.
.
I couldn’t unsee what I had seen
All of us walking around with pages and chapters
.
.
.
With bookmarks to save the important parts
.
.
.
With spines and bindings
Pristine
Or stained with living
.
.
.
I can’t unsee it now

What These Eyes Have Seen
“A three-week trip to India was a real shock to me. This country left a double impression in my soul. On the one hand, this is a magical fairy tale, motley and bright, and on the other, beggarly neighborhoods, areas and entire cities, on the streets of which hundreds of thousands of homeless people live. Looking at the faces of these people, I decided to make a series of portraits in order to shed true light on how the majority of the population of India lives. Most of the people I shot never saw a camera in their life, and what was their surprise when they saw their portrait on the displays. Such sincere delight, I have not met for a long time … Their faces are illuminated by a smile, eyes glowing with happiness, all this and much more should serve as an example for modern society. After all, no matter what, people living in poverty are still able to enjoy the little things … “– tells traveler photographer Roberto Pazzi (Roberto Pazzi).
