Elephant Man

The treatment of the Elephant Man is a reflection of what we are as a society.  On a daily basis people are treated unjust just for the color of their skin.  Individuals that have not been blessed with stunning looks or may have been born a little bit different, deserve the same respect.  All individuals owe it to themselves to treat people the way that they would want to be treated.  The most beautiful of individuals can become the most ugly of individuals if their attitude and level of respect is low.  Just like the ugly duckling turns into a swan.  All individuals have a little swan in them if they decide to display it.

WIND

I

Feel it on my face

Blades bend aimlessly

Pollination is in the air

Germination not far off

The ability to create

The ability to destroy

Shattered

It travels so fast
The end is near
Gravity is the enemy.

Sands Of Time

The longer it goes
The less you have
The higher it gets
The lower it becomes
Constant movement
Fighting to be first
Right side up
Wrong side down
180 degree turns
Allows for new life

Return Of The Maverick

After a long lay-off whether on purpose or not it is good to be back. No I wasn't incarcerated but mentally I was on vacation. I took a break from life and with that there went my blog. I love to share and give a piece of me to everyone hence my return. With all the natural disasters that have have been occurring over the last few months it's hard to harp on small issues that we have in everyday life. I sat and watched a 60 minutes episode a few weeks back and I was saddened by the subject. The topic focused on families that had been displaced due to the economic crisis. This left homeless children many of which now live in hotel and motels. So we should ask ourseles; Is it really that bad for us? I personally am truly blessed and thankful for everything that I have, but not satisfied. I want more because we all have a deep rooted selfishness that burns like a pire. I have very few actual needs that I am without. I do however have a truckload of wants. Those wants is what seems to get us in trouble. Today is the first day of the rest of our lives. I for one will make a concious effort to appreciate what I have rather than focus on what I don't.
