Motivation and Creation Demonstration

In coordination with motivation comes contemplation before creation.

So in cooperation with dedication, hard work and some organization,

added to proper association my elaboration gives words emancipation.

Starting with a firm foundation, some imagination and verbal illustration,

in combination with small generalizations of minor and basic information,

my linguistic application can provide allocation towards communication.

With minor manipulation of exclamations not in the appropriate location,

I cause modification to their place or station with just a little innovation.

Thoughtful navigation and mobilization gives facilitation to this migration.

Once in their configuration and if in lineation with the correct punctuation,

each piece of information receives examination for its form and application.

If the notation possesses fitting formation it receives no further adaptation.

But if some incorrect correlation causes a complication in the compilation,

after careful consideration and contemplation of the poem's configuration,

the offending specification gets an eradication before further continuation.

Each poem gets an evaluation to provide confirmation of correct reparation.

After close scrutinization, if finding no complication in need of simplification,

and the renovations bring poetic harmonization I get a feeling of gratification.

I continue in my aspiration to give ideas formal designation for declaration.

It requires concentration and adaptation to bring my concepts to formulation,

but worth frustration if my articulation gets your approval and appreciation.

No One Wins Alone

I am tired of running in this race I am in: The human race. It is a race I do not care to win. Man’s inhumanity to man by deed or by lack of concern, turning a blind eye to the struggles and hardships of others is not the purpose of creation or evolution. I know that. You know that. What are we to do? What can we do? I do not know the answer, but I do know an answer: Not nothing. Doing nothing is getting us deeper into a pit of Mankind’s hostility toward one another.

There seems to always be a storm of people, crowds, running amok yelling by word or action about my, me, mine. I do not know exactly what must be done but I do know it would be better to do something... anything at all. Do something that shows your children, your neighbors, your neighbor’s children, that you care about something other than yourself and that you care about other people. Show those around you that you care, that their pain is not unnoticed, not unknown, and not theirs alone. I do not know how you can go about doing this. I do believe that after reading this an opportunity may arise for you to take action, either simple or complex. Simple like a smile and a handshake, or complex like asking what you can do to help and then follow up as best as you can.

I do not see anyone winning this race alone. The only way anyone can win this race is together; and that is an all inclusive together. Not just family, friends, neighbors, and acquaintances. We must all win or nobody wins at all. Please do not take your anger out on anyone else today, this week, next week, or even for the next month or two. Taking your anger out on others hurts you just as much as the other person. It hurts your relationships, your level of stature and respect in the community, and in the future your self respect will be damaged as well. Again, I know this. You know this. I am not saying we should go spend a fortune to help or dedicate all of our time to help; sometimes help is as simple as saying “I care. I want you to know that I care, and if I can help, I will gladly do what I can.
 

”Who am I to say this? Why should you care? I can only say that I am someone who cares, and I hope you do too. And by the way...is there anything I can do to help?

Of Trauma and Grief

Of trauma and grief,

There is little relief.

Of regret and remorse,

The same of course.

Express how you feel,

To help the soul heal.

If you hold it all in,

It will surface again.

As everyone knows,

Held in, it grows.

You've Got to Have Faith

I cannot imagine living without faith. Faith makes all things, good and bad more tolerable. Faith in one’s self, mankind, friends, family, nature, physics, and religious faith (Or believing in God.) are all a necessity, a requirement for life. Yes, I agree that you could live without them but what kind of life would that be? That is a rhetorical question obviously and a question that I do not want to know the answer to. I believe that a life without faith would be tragic as well as hopeless and based on that belief it would also be very, very sad.

Yes, I believe in God but I do not try to force others to believe or put them down in any way if they do not. I am entitled to my belief system just as you are entitled to yours. I do believe that my beliefs have made me stronger. They have made me more accepting of my own faults and of the faults of others as well. More importantly, they have given me strength in times when I did not think I would have it, not from a lack of faith in myself but because I never thought that I would have to face many of the things I have faced and was not in my opinion prepared. My faith in others has always been reinforced by the positive influence that family, friends, and strangers have had in my life. My faith in God has been reinforced multiple times by overcoming trials and painful events that I knew I would never be able to face alone. I have faith. I hope you do too. If you do not, then I believe you will. I also believe it will be reinforced by those around you and your fellow man. I would also like to add that I believe in you: I know that if you face your problems head on and trust in God and those around you, that even if you are not successful in all of your endeavors and do not overcome all of your problems you will be better for having faced them and trusting in your own faith.
