UNTITLED


What is my purpose on earth?
Is it to serve God-One whom I am yet to see or fully comprehend?
Is it to serve man, a confused race of beings that are as fickle as the changing tides?
Is it to serve myself- the being that does not know his purpose in life?
Or is the purpose of my life to find a purpose for which I do not possess direction to?
People have asked these questions before me and would ask after.
I hope the future holds the answers because the past is much in the dark as I.

    I think "PURPOSE" will be a good Title for these piece.

Short or Long

To us who wear our hearts on our sleeves Short or long  We expose our hearts to the elements every day With every hug, every handshake, every fist bump We risk breaking  a bit of our hearts off To us, heartbreak is not an event It is a daily possibility  To us who wear our hearts on our sleeves Short or long  Every touch, every kiss, every glance in our eyes We risk revealing too much as our quickened hearts match the beat of the ones we love In a world where prey is predator, where a house of solace can easily become a house of sorrow, our hearts remain exposed To us who wear our hearts on our sleeves Short or long These suits of pretense we use to hide our vulnerability do not cover the fear in our voice, the lowering of our gaze, the anxiety in our steps, or how deep the rage we can not express is when each passing moment, our hearts are broken by people who have no hearts to wear anymore. To us who wear our hearts on our sleeves Short or long Our broken hearts ar...

HOW HUMANISTS CAN HELP SHAPE THE FUTURE - A beginner’s guide from a beginner

  Margaret Mead, the American cultural anthropologist said of change; “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” Humanists are few. Humanism is young. The task of helping to shape the future through the lens of our values seems daunting. To borrow from the Christian Bible, “The Harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few”. At the front of the battle to shape society will be humanists and progressives and so we need to have humanists and progressives in every part of society; the change will be shaped by the people, by activists, and by public servants SHAPED BY PEOPLE As individuals, what will our role in this change be? We first have to realize that the change will only work if we create the space for it to thrive. It will start with us, humanists, acknowledging that humanism is not a default, neither are our values obvious to everyone. By admitting this, we will come to understand that ou...

My Father’s Sun

I consider myself to be an earthy person Tree hugging Gaea worshipping son of the sun My roots go deep and spread wide like hip hop culture I bear no fruits I carry no flowers My story is written on the stripes of my bark My essence brewed into bitters, putting hairs on the chest of men while coercing them to feed on my purpose Live to serve I die to serve no one My father is an asshole Like assholes come his father was an asshole too.  I am not my father’s son! My father stands for everything wrong with patriarchy. Everything he stood for he learnt from his father. I am not my father’s son! My father wishes his son will forgive him. My father’s father wished his son will understand his path was different. I am not my father’s son!  I may have come from his balls but my balls are bigger than his. I may have called him Papa or Dada growing up, but he certainly was never my father. I may have watched him hurt woman after woman, watched mother’s t...
