Bitten By Love

As l look at you

I cannot help but stare

The moon to your eyes

Cannot compare

Starlight touches your skin

I can feel myself falling

Deeper and deeper in

Innocent temptation

Morphs into a carnivorous sin

The Gift

So you smile down and in that magical moment you want to stay

Just so perfect you´d happily live in it day after day

Sticks & Stones

It was never the force of his hand that left the scar

That would never heal

It was never the bruise that lingered

Red and purple fading to yellow

It was the still in the air

The atmosphere he´d cut with a knife

It was his words that brutally sliced into my core

The things he said to weaken and demean me

Quiet secret things only said when we were alone

Or whispered in a crowd

Never heard by anothers ears

They broke me

They made me small

Until that day I disappeared

Protection NOT Destruction!

Guns are supposed to be for personal protection, you do not need an automatic, fast firing weapon or a bazooka to protect yourself, your home or anything else.

A single hand gun should only be sold to each member of the public who requires one, not huge arsenal of weapons.

Moderation, education and sanity is needed.

That way they can be monitored better, stored securely and the law enforcement agencies will be able to control any major situations better. It is easier to stop someone with a hand gun than it is if they are shooting a machine gun!

Guns don't kill people, people kill people?

Ignorance kills

Turning ones back on the truth is what actually kills people.

A gun needs a hand.

In the wrong hands it is not protection it is death.

No one needs an automatic rifle or a machine gun for protecting their home.

Guns are not cool accessories to be carried they are weapons of destruction.

Gun manufacturers do not care who owns a gun as long as they profit from them.

A pool of blood can easily be wiped from a floor but not so easily wiped from inside ones mind.

When our children think guns are cool it just proves that as a society we are failing them.

Allowing criminals to have as good a weapon or better than the members of law enforcement rather defeats the object of law enforcement.

If you get angry with someone and you do not own a gun, you sort the problem out in other ways, owning a gun increases the chance of you acting on the spur of the moment and killing/harming someone.

The 2nd amendment is out dated and not suitable for modern times.

You can say 1 sentence, and EVERYONE on Earth will be able to hear you say it. What is that sentence?

Turn

Turn and look at the person next to you and learn to accept one another, forget race and religion, look to the future not the past, learn to love and approve of one another.

It is only hair

Three times now I have grown my hair long and then cut it so I could send it to make wigs for for children...to me it is only hair. I am lucky to be able to say that as I have never been unwillingly bald, a shaven head to me is nothing. I have never lost it through illness, through cancer etc In fact every time I have cut my hair then shaven my head we have laughed (my daughter and I) it has made us happy, simply because I look funny bald.

But to a little boy or girl it is sadness, it can cause bullying and a lot of tears to be shed.

Now though, I cannot do it again because my hair has grown back grey and fine, so I am the one who is sad now. I am upset because I cannot help the children in that way any more.

So maybe if one of you read this you could instead take my place and do the same? Bring a smile to a child!

He is an ass hat!

A President should be someone of whom the country is proud of.

A President should not judge people by race, religion, sex, wealth or colour.

A President should be mentally stable.

I could go on and on as the man is a complete madman.

And...okay you have had loads of white Presidents, a black one and now an orange one, what about a yellow one or a beige one?

Words

A word has the power of a bullet

The gentleness of a kiss

The weight of a feather

Yet words can move a mountain

Words heal

Words wound

Words push away

Words bring us together

Words are wonderful

Words are beautiful

Words are momentary glimpses into ones heart and mind

Words are what make us human
