The Grammarians - This poem described what the Africa leaders look like. They are the alpha and omega of their grammars; professionals in their field and those whose grammars (agenda, programs, manifestoes, etc) are so meticulous fine-tuned and utmost to any 'infidel' corrections. The lords of their country-home who had failed many times over; the abused that abuse!... The Weeping Giant - There is nothing wrong with crying or weeping, in fact, we all came into this world crying and many leave the scene of this world crying. When the feeble cries, we tend to see their weakness and lend hand but when we see giant crying, we tend to ask ourselves what might have gone wrong because we are remembered so quickly their power and strength! A giant could cry! Yes, it does!... Such Is Life, Life Is Such - A great and acceptable phenomenon about life, to many if not all, is that such is life and life is such when a circumstance comes and we find it overwhelming us. We are quick to resign to fate and encourage ourselves and others that life is just life that. ...

Tell the next generation, tell Of how we instruct our children, In the privacy of our homes, Which isn't heard by the world, What posterity will clearly hear.... Poems For Life - An Introduction - Poems for life spread fragrance silently. Our mind touches that smell. An amazing happiness hugs us with love. We feel inspired. Poems finger the string inside and we get pleasure from the core of heart.... Hello Mr Nobody! - There are people that show up around us, but are not what they claim to be. They go about lifting themselves up why they are at the bottom of the sea. They are virtually nobody, because if they are they should lift themselves up instead, not someone else.... Lines and Squares - A A Milne Chronicles the Children's Game - Most of us, if you said 'bear' and 'A. A. Milne' would think of Winnie the Pooh but the bears in Lines and Squares are real. They act all innocent, as if they aren't going to gobble people up. This seems like in the tradition of children's literature. The actual game goes back a long way.... Fantastic Journey - Where to the pyramids, the North Pole, Tropical Rainforests. No! You're a living one.... Copyright © 2010, Blurbosphere.com. All Rights Reserved. |
