Nobility

Is nobility something one claims...
Or is one ordained to sit high in places?
Today you would think it is stolen at crap games,
Since no one seems to earn a name
Based on merit and deed...
Stemming from a trend of humanitarian proceeds,
That feed conscious social justice that breeds
A generation of well wishers...
Assisting others to succeed!
Actions like these are being enforced and wasted
By those being called forwarded to hastily bleed,
In places they are forgotten to rot like a crop
Of misbegotten seeds!

Hope Demands We Embrace Humanitarian Needs

serve as a language interpreter
in immediate aftermath post
apocalypse Yugoslavia war split

few are raw images peace ready
to build embrace while flesh soot
ashes still blow onto our clothes

into our hair hope faith demands
we embrace humanitarian needs
gift heal mediate peace raw wounds

into fires fresh flesh flames look
deep into crime military looking glass
to laugh dance at recent adversity

to serve needs of suffering humanity
such character courage cultural activities
are needed to help heal restore souls

Cosmic Consciousness

Sun is smiling to me today,
Early in the morning when,
Sitting at my window,
I contemplate the peace of nature,
The joyful birds, the trees.
And i feel like i am,
A small, tiny, imperceptible part of this Universe,
And this awakes in me,
A cosmic consciousness,
To fulfil my humanitarian mission,
For this wonderful world in which i live.
For the mankind, for everybody who lives,
I want to be a good human,
This is my task i must fulfil,
To make a better world for us, for everybody
To give us more hope and happiness to live.

Hooray February!

I love February
because it’s a brewery
of chilly winter
and sunny warmth.

I love February
because it isn’t a cocky first;
but only a modest next
like how I always prefer
taking a second row chair.
Likewise my car, hello,
is not a Uno, but an Alto!

I love February
because it’s the baby
of the promising January.
And with that promise
February bears March
with all its vernal vibrancy.

Chinese Government On Humanitarian Human Rights

gremlins busy buzzing
through my comp circuits
hotwire havoc harvests

rummaging in my server
again for third day straight
today means I’m on track

happy vibes
outsmarts

no internet
for about
eight hours

the pitiful lengths
the brain dead

A Life Philosophy

a life philosophy
not a philosophy on life
a living philosophy

clear concise defined
articulated in civil rights liberty
clemency morality humanitarian symmetry

it is not important to memorize words
words thoughts searched out through years decades
words become life beat peace harmonies

not a manifesto
not written out
not important to memorize

to write out
to be distorted
to be used to manipulate minds

Holding Progress

In our hands is it and here!
Best of perfections with real approvements.
Miracle of emotional chance of
waves from heaven, earth, universe
Talented glory floating up over the walls
Prosperity of humanitarian actions
Courages to motivate our future
is true—unbelievable upcomings
Blessed brightest future might be
Together starting future in pray
All over the doings of
known with unknowing
Spectacular feelings, fightings
Conglomerate of great real world
An ideal work on it
unchained open-minded
Inside the ocean of past, destiny, future
Desirous with actions
Should it be all humans together?
In name of humanity, prosperity,

Hospitable Hosts

To thieve and take,
May increase one's social status...
Among thieves.
And there are plenty who fake,
Being more than just thieves.

But a gathering of thieves does not perfume the air.
No matter what is used to diffuse the stench...
Many are proud to stink so loudly.
As viewed with noses lifted high in despair.

To thieve and take,
May increase one's social status...
Among thieves.
And there are plenty who fake,
Being more than just thieves.
Some even pretend to be humanitarian.
If not tax deducting philanthropers.

However...

Mesmeristic Shtick

What do you take me for?
Some super intelligent human being?
On an ego trip like none you've ever seen?
One who is opinionated,
With a temperament that could be mean?
And someone that might say anything obscene?

'No.
No, not at all!
I wanted to congratulate you on your humility.
And your grasp of humanitarian issues,
Affecting today's society.'

Is that it?

'Yes...
That's it? '

And you had me waste my knack for dramatic 'flair'?
Hoping to hypnotize you with mesmeristic shtick!

a kidnap for ransom only in the island of Jolo

they kidnap them
International Red Cross Volunteers
for days they keep them
in hiding still figuring out
what use could their bodies be

for beheading
for international fame

they say they have a noble cause
for the world to know
that they are not terrorists
but freedom fighters

and after about a month or two
of constant prayers and
daily reflection
they finally decided that these two volunteers
have no use for their cause anymore

Necessity Of Interactive Responses Resolved

whatever happens in cyclic life
it is not only good to question
it is necessary to know and act

investigative read hundreds
of snapshot perspective slices
of life become an experienced

learn know multiple realities

not all souls can face revisit
raw trauma sharp experiences
we sing many songs separate

souls vibrating spin hearts need
searching soul will ultimate transfixed find

A parcel from Overseas beyond the Great Barrier Reef!

As a habbit, firstly
I check the sender's name & address
Oh! It's from New South Wales
Australia, My dreamy burial grounds
To rest in peace with Aborigines!
Guess who sent the precious gift?
Brother Poet & Humanitarian
Paddy the Martin!
Two pocket size books
His poetry Anthologies.
'Poems that bloom in my garden
And The ancient Poet.'
I have not started yet the reading
But that smells a rare fragrance of a flower
In the garden of Eden!
Where the Humanity began!
Thank you is not enough
For the soft soul's honest smile
And I add this; 'Let us be friends
And smile together until we reach

Even As I Die It Will Continue To Go On

Back to building a website.
To put my ideas under my own design.
The internet is in the ages of all times.
Forever to be recorded so the kids of kids can remember it.
We must not forget
We must learn to forgive.
For injustices do not end with any other pretense.
If that make any sense.
Yes it does have relevance
Its not just more jargon to be heard.
By the crazy and the absurd.
In my constant drive I do not reach for the skies
But to understand the why.
The search goes on for truth and knowledge.
The search goes on for the true humanitarian.
The search goes on for a way to end all blood shed.
The search goes on for a way to eliminate all indifference.
The search goes on for the cures to diseases that remind us of how vulnerable we really are.
The search goes on.
Even as I die it will continue to go on.

The Taking Is Of Their Interest

Many lifetimes it seems,
Some have personalized their agonies...
To then witness more inflicted,
By those claiming to do humanitarian deeds.

Too few know what it is like,
To be disturbed from their peaceful nights.
To stare hatred in the face...
As if this sickness to inflict,
Has a rightful place.

Many lifetimes it seems,
Some have personalized their agonies...
To be belittled and disrespected,
By an unconsciousness infested.

And manifested from an ignorance...
Still insisting on someone's shores,
The taking is of their interest.
And that is their purpose...

Sean Radley Is To Millstreet

What Pele was to Brazil or Caesar was to Rome
Sean Radley is to Millstreet the place I still call home
And he's not been a warrior or been known for football
But in that Town by Clara hill he's best loved one of all.

Sean Radley is a hero for kindness he has shown
And all around Duhallow by everyone he's known
And about him those who know him have no bad word to say
And to help out other people he go out of his way.

To the Millstreet Museum Society some of his spare time he devote
And about the history of Millstreet some fine articles he's wrote
As a humanitarian and historian Sean Radley earned his fame
And all around Duhallow his is a well known name.

What Caesar was to Italy or Pele was to Brazil
Sean Radley is to Millstreet that Town by Clara hill
And he's not been a warrior or been known for football
But in Millstreet in Duhallow the best loved one of all.

For Our Future

They were real kings
His Highness majesty who could sing
Turn the fortune and change the fate
They had everything at disposal to relate

They left it behind
For world to find
To help the poor
And worked from door to door

They were great and may be remembered
For their contribution and what they have offered
To live with peace and brotherhood
In life they practiced and understood

They were real supporter
To work for people as porter
Carry out their plight and pain
Into life of their own

Rare

I am acquainted with several people,
Who have earned BA, MA and Doctorate degrees.
And it would be wonderful 'if'...
Their knowledge and focus to obtain certificates,
Was as equally devoted in the use of their 'competence'...
As are their eyes on 'things' and what money brings.

With the assistance of decreasing but not adding onto...
The climbing economic deficit!

Not to say they are among those greedy.
Or perpetuating the increase of gluttony!
However...
If they are servicing the needy with a teaching how to feed,
They are to be applauded.

Since rare in a capitalistic society,
Are those motivated to show or expose...
Humanitarian qualities.
It is the feeding of a greed,

Freedom To Breathe

When you are frustrated and angry, my ears
start to ring, the electric impulses created by
your wild energy feels like lightning bolts all
around me; though spiritual masters say

Your state of mind has nothing to do with mine,
I cannot ignore you and stay on cloud nine if
I want to be there, no Astrogenetic Cancer or
Scorpion has ever been an evolved spirit

On earth, being human seismographs, attuned
to feelings, we cannot ignore the vibrations all
around us, we have a little Aquarian girl who
wishes to cherish humanitarian dreams

And a Sagittarian boy who fights windmills, you
are upset as they have no material ambitions,
do not dream of being rich, both dream of love
and quality of life, therefore they do not

The Remorse Of Ignorance

A humble request from the deepness of thought.
It is not a desire for something that can be bought.
But the ability to speak straight from the heart.
Say what you mean and mean what you say with the best intentions applied.
But sometimes these ideas are not well meant and seem quite popurous to the human eye at least at the time when it matters most.
Why does it always feel like we're chasing our own ghost?
You know what hes was right.
To bad we've never had a chance to tell him.
The remorse of ignorance.
So instead we market the idea as our own.
Never giving him the credit due.
A luxury that has come and pasted.
A regret of not doing more to protect the idea of doing things for humanity's sake.
A humanitarian in need in a society based off greed.
A common place where it is do as you please as long as you have the green.
All a waste so it seems in a world of fultility.
A million ending to write, which one will be your reality?
