Delicious Points
she posted that
calories are
merely
delicious points
while overcoming
an eating disorder
her candor
was infectious
unlike the disease
it took her a decade
to conquer
with a sense of humor
about starving
I still can't capture
this twenty-something
from Bangor
made an impact
she will never know of
Victory Has a Name
Victory,
A breathless wonder.
Standing atop adversity,
The dragon's head in one hand.
Never dared to dream,
Never dreamed to imagine;
That one could escape from fate somehow,
That that time would be now.
Clutched between tawny fingers,
The power of the universe;
Untamed and unrelenting,
Fearsome and worthy of awe.
Deep within sinewy muscle,
Beats the heart of a lion;
Never skipping even a beat,
Lest fate slip up like a slippery crocodile.
Captured by Father Time,
Nurtured by Mother Earth;
Grasped by the forces of Nature,
Challenged by the theorems of Pythagoras.
Once tasted,
It is not easily forgotten.
Once felt,
Not easily ignored.
Victory has a name.
It simply waits to be claimed.

Victory to Society
Love, an explosive devotion as a subtle emotion so overwhelming, yet is highly unlikely to have been what fundamentally a society sought necessary. When it was desired they simply never had what it required, what a bold statement, a declaration of defeat rather then victory to those who solemnly sought to undermine their own intelligence by seeking the necessary. The day & age of an ever-increasing imorral standard seems to be more feasible a way of life when in comparison to the delightful happy instinctive nature that the essenstial natural elements serves to be a provider for. Confusing times indeed, where uplifting perceived as a short supply because 'sky high' clouded judgements responsible for moral compasses held intact looking rather dull to victims under attack from decievers who defer them from, leading them astray toward what they instead prefer, the self destructive implosive corrosive slow but sure promise of mortality. Thats freedom of expression for you.
Ignorance surrounds & abounds a conformitive species to alternative replacements of statements reserving the right to recieve credit for where it is due. Congratulations to the undeservent humanity who hysterically accepts accountability for the things agreed to, unwanted in actual fact. Acceptable a condition when found to be strategical advances on the vulnerable to the seductive secret servicing sound finding its way round the Globe Internationally. Collectively being taken captive by the mental manipulative subliminal innuendos that are overlooked speak in numbers for the problematic blunders gifted to the masses carelessly.
Individuality in adversity becomes rare occurances, but how could this be when it essentially a normal instance that should still be prominent in society. Dismissing valuations enlisted to have existed for ensuring prosperity, longevity & serenity should provoke in many a compulsory backlash directed at whatever authority for accountability related matters with explinations made out pf certainty. A healthy mentality's mandatory for a Species sharing Earth. Technical inclinations & growth aspirations should be a 'Piece of Cake' situations that hassel-free forward momentum collectively uses to balance out any contradictory perfectly.
