I drain your words

I will not let anyone walk through my mind with dirty feet ~ Mahatma Gandhi

cageandkey:

I drain
through my skin
the words you pronounce
they’d kill
every cell
of my heart
every neuron
in my brain
If I were not to drain
through my skin
every word
pronounced
by your lips 
I’d be dead by now
If I were to listen
to every stupidity
the runs ‘round your head
I thank God
I am clever
that I allow myself
only to listen
to what could build me up
and you try to break me down
and you try with all your might
but you can’t
since I stand like a rock

Against Nature's Wish

Creep first, walk later, the beginning of motion,

One step, two step, run, run, run, nature’s joy,

Mumble first; speak later, the out pour of creation,

Conform now child, be like me, choose now, nature’s ploy,

Grown I was to love and cherish,

Small mercies afforded to never squander, forever relish,

Opportunities when sighted grasp quickly like a season’s first,

Always do as you’re taught, the rules never change,

Is it nature or change that giveth birth to the ills of society?

Areth’ not a sin to blame, on which to take aim and fire,

Many a truth remains hidden beyond nature’s folly,

Why did you go along with the call of from the dark?

Is the darkness so bright that your very judgement is misused?

Have you fallen prey to the desire from within?

The love from your soul’s heart warn you of imminent danger,

Is the pull as strong as for you to bear the pain?

The wounds inflected are they worth the cause?

Have you forgotten thy own mouth’s counsel?

Conforming to the norm is now forever lost, the spell has been cast,

The unforgivable sin commute,

The very rope to safety you denied,

A friend you’re who’ve jumped boat,

Is thou like a fallen ship in life’s battle?

There’s No Such Thing as Everlasting Love (According to Science)

It is what she calls a “micro-moment of positivity resonance.” She means that love is a connection, characterized by a flood of positive emotions, which you share with another person—any other person—whom you happen to connect with in the course of your day. You can experience these micro-moments with your romantic partner, child, or close friend. But you can also fall in love, however momentarily, with less likely candidates, like a stranger on the street, a colleague at work, or an attendant at a grocery store. Louis Armstrong put it best in “It’s a Wonderful World” when he sang, “I see friends shaking hands, sayin ‘how do you do?’ / They’re really sayin’, ‘I love you.’”

Heard this statement on TEDtalk: Smart Laugh with comedian Rory Bremner’s One-Man World Summit. I found it was brilliantly hilarious how Rory presented the impersonation of Donald Rumsfeld, so I decided share it graphically.   

This quote, by Donald Rumsfeld, was arguably “completely straightforward” and “impeccable, syntactically, semantically, logically, and rhetorically.” according to linguist Geoffrey Pullum, but I don’t care… I find it funny. So before you click on the picture to read up on wikipedia, check out the video link above, I’m sure you won’t regret it. :)
