To be Sad and Vulnerable..

The conscious awareness of every Human act

Done wrongfully or unreasonably and

That is Unwarranted and Unkind is

An accumulation of Sadness

And a reminder to Human vulnerability.

While Praying.....

When One is praying

One is present in unity in every prayer

With every other that is praying.

To Worry.............

When one does the Right thing (deed)

Indeed one has very has very little to worry.

One's Comic Marvel......

Most often a subversive and

Criminally vulnerble mind

Is constantly driven by the desire

To be unaccountable and indifferent for One's actions

Unaware of the fact that each subsequent action

Set on an irreversible path

Is nothing but A fullfilment of

One's delusional Reality/Realitles.

The Brotherhood of Man.....

No man must let his brother feel

The sting injustice brings

But rather help him walk in pride

And soar on Freedom's wings.

For each man is diminished not

When he shall help another

And understand and comfort him

And call a man his brother.

No man must let another weep

Or see his chance denied.

For each must walk the path of hope

And dream the dream, untried.

No man must let the truth be stilled,

Stand mute when he should speak

Or set the truth in shadows dark

for just a few to seek

No man must have to live in fear

or bondage from the past

But strive to reach the highest goal

And build for love to last.

And each must hold another's dream

And call that dream his own

And share the things his brother feels

To set Love's cornerstone.

---- poetess mary Millis was born in New England. Her mother's family was of Native American heritage and her roots are of early Dutchand French and Italian settlers.
 

To fight for.....

Fight and speak out against Injustice

In all its Ugly forms.

__ A Latino sister in Metro Boston.

To be fair and Just........

If we somehow do not find

A way to respect others

then we do not know

how to be fair and just to them.

Governance......

Good governance is Justice in action.

Lies....

All lies are ultimately lying to Oneself.

A weakness of the soul

That becomes incapable of self realization.

Crime and Charity.....

Charity, likewise Crime

Often attracts the Pathological..

It does not Matter.............

It does not matter

If some one is even an Enemy or Friend

One can have a relationship

If that one is a Person.

It does matter

If some one has aspirations, frustrations

failures and even success

One can have a relationship

If that one is Humane.

Otherwise One is left to wander

among the dead and compromised

breathing through painful days

In a lonesome dwelling.

                        --- Richard at Boston Commons.

Poverty......

poverty  most often is a mindset of

the individual and collective as a society

Not a natural calamity.

A reflection for the day......

Overcoming poverty is not a task of charity

It is an act of justice.

Like Slavery and Apartheid poverty is not natural

It is man-made and it can be overcome and

eradicated by the actions of human beings.

Sometimes it falls on a generation to be great.

YOU can be that great generation.

Let your greatness blossom.

― Nelson Mandela

One way of Life............

The one that truly fears 

A public court is the one 

That has conspiracy at heart and

Patience like a fox is not virtue

When one lays a bait 

Hoping for a kill

Neither a person 

Anymore human

When begins to live off others

Nor a life virtuous...... 

If lived other than for survival

Emancipation and enlightenment.

Quote of the day.........

People are often unreasonable and 

self-centered.

 Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, 

people may accuse you of ulterior motives.

 Be kind anyway.

If you are honest, people may cheat you.

 Be honest anyway.

If you find happiness, people may be jealous.

 Be happy anyway.

The good you do today

may be forgotten tomorrow.

 Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have and 

it may never be enough.

 Give your best anyway.

For you see, in the end, 

it is between you and God.

 It was never between you and 

them anyway.

― Mother Teresa

Freedom and Liberty........

Freedom is the emancipation from

The arbitrary Rule of 

Other Men.

-- Mortimer Adler.( 1902-2001)

      *      *       *       *      *

Liberty is not Collective, 

It is personal

All Liberty is...... 

Individual Liberty.

--- Calvin Coolidge.

30th US President.

Morality...........

Morality is not a private domain

That someone can claim for oneself

Instead It is the effervescence of consciousness

That adorns the virtuous among the humans.

In TIME....

From the poorest of the poor and 

A tight fisted miser

From an erudite scholar and a pious priest

From the conniving old and an innocent child

From a housewife and prostitute

From a best banker and clever thief

From a victorious soldier and  successful ruler

Even from the wisest among the wise

TIME finally steals everything.

To be Home / Less

All species in this universe are 

Equipped to survive 

On their own.......

Yet........ we help each other 

To connect and share

So that we can be...... 

One family.

The way of Honor......

If you ever were to have 

An enmity with a poor man /Men

Feed them well...... 

Make them strong and 

Treat them as equal

Then invite him /them 

To a duel.

     *        *         *        *        *

Choose equals both in war and friendship.

---- An Indian saying.
