May your eyes forever see the glow of the stars

Each day we may smile at the love we give
No more darkness shall we face

Ive always been a fan of tupac's poetry heres just a couple of them

When Ure Hero Falls

when your hero falls from grace
all fairy tales r uncovered
myths exposed and pain magnified
the greatest pain discovered
u taught me 2 be strong
but im confused 2 c u so weak
u said never 2 give up
and it hurts 2 c u welcome defeat
when ure hero falls so do the stars
and so does the perception of tomorrow
without my hero there is only
me alone 2 deal with my sorrow
your heart ceases 2 work
and your soul is not happy at all
what r u expected 2 do
when ure only hero falls

And 2morrow

Today is filled with anger
fueled with hidden hate
scared of being outcast
afraid of common fate
Today is built on tragedies
which no one wants 2 face
nightmares 2 humanities
and morally disgraced
Tonight is filled with rage
violence in the air
children bred with ruthlessness
because no one at home cares
Tonight I lay my head down
but the pressure never stops
knawing at my sanity
content when I am dropped
But 2morrow I c change
a chance 2 build a new
Built on spirit intent of Heart
and ideals
based on truth
and tomorrow I wake with second wind
and strong because of pride
2 know I fought with all my heart 2 keep my
dream alive

I like it tzp

Hello All!:001_smile:

At the outset, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the Princess (whom you all know as Mavarchi) for creating this thread. I've read through all your post and each and every one of them is as inspiring as the next and I couldn't help but be overwhelmed with the immense creativity that has been poured into each and every poem!:001_smile:

I thank you all for your kind contributions-Your words are like the dawn of the Morning Star, that radiate to the core of each being and enables whoever greets them, to touch their inner divinity and tap the hidden potentials of creativity that, till such a time, lay dormant and unrealized.

The following rhyme is something that I came up with in the spur of the moment when I came across a thread named-"How do you shave? Any other DE shaver on here". I know to many this may sound humorous (it surely does to me!), but while reading through the thread, I was reminded of one of my most frequent experiences that usually go unnoticed and overlooked by me-Shaving my beard!

This is due to the fact that while I perform the ritual of shaving during the weekdays, I'm usually on an Auto-Pilot where my conscious mind is busy on a roller-coaster ride getting my priorities for the day in order, while my sub-conscious mind is steering my fingers that guide the razor in the right direction!

But one morning, I relentlessly kept my conscious mind away from the roller coaster joyride and all of a sudden, I was aware of many small mannerisms that although appeared to be nuances, were in fact old habits formed in my daily routine of shaving my beard!

Well, this inspired me to express a tiny preview of my daily experience with shaving, in a nutshell. And although many readers may not be able relate to this experience directly, they may find the manner and picture the rhyme represents interesting & perhaps humorous. And it is with this hope that I dare to present this rhyme to you all.

Monday morning, here I tumble,
It's time to shave my weekend jungle!
My cheeks feel rough, my wife's complaining,
I head for my new shaver & foam, with no prior training.

I foam it here & I foam it there,
then run the blade, till my skin feels fair.
I'm happy that I did it all in time,
But to get that done, I spent more than a dime!

And then I relish my toil, in front of the glass,
I know I did it right, and I did it with class!
I feel good, 'cause the day has only begun
But damn that aftershave, it ruined all the fun!

Before we're done, let's take a look at my kit
I use a Disposable shaver and foam hand-picked.
I use them always, I hardly change,
Come on friends, do you find that strange?

:laugh:

Please do let me know what you think!

Best Wishes,

Mackenna

Hello Everyone!:001_smile:

I came up with the following rhyme for one of the threads about Conspiracy Theories-Did Man actually Land on the moon? After having read all the views expressed in the thread, in addition to having read a few blogs and a handful of documentaries on the subject. I finally decided that a poem will be a good way to summarize my learning from the experience. Many of you may have missed the post if you hadn't visited that thread and so I thought it would be a good idea for me to post it here so and share it with you all. Here goes...



To the Moon & back

Not long ago there were two men,
their names were Armstrong & Buzzy,
Who dreamt of one day flying to the moon,
But the "How to", was a little bit fuzzy.

Well, both were very curious,
and both were very keen,
To reach and walk on the moon,
and see how earth would sheen.

So, they got a ride on Apollo
and blasted off in space.
They were off on their lunar mission
and their first lunar chase!

Up and Up they went,
into the dark blue sky.
Until the moon greeted them,
With a BIG smile and a quick "Hi!"

Once on the moon they discovered,
It was cold, rocky and steep.
A small step for man,
But for mankind, a giant leap!

They had a quick look and tour,
And clicked some photos too!
A flag did Armstrong put-up,
And they did the things they had to do.

Not long after they landed
They had nothing more left to do.
So they collected a few samples
And admired the Earth shining blue.

"What now?", they asked each other,
"Well, let's see the stars that shine!"
"Let's go back home", said one of them.
The other one said, "Fine!"

They took the shuttle back to Earth,
and flew faster than a aeroplane.
They fulfilled their dream of landing on the moon,
But they were glad to be back home again.

Once back home, they were greeted,
With happiness and with doubt,
Some say the whole thing was a hoax,
"It never happened", others shout!

Well, they said what they had to,
And came up with many a theory,
What started as exciting for most,
for many turned out to be very dreary.

All said and done, I now think,
whatever the evidence show.
It was a small step a man
But for mankind , a positive blow!

It may have happened just as they said,
It may all be just a dupe
But boy, aren't I glad that I did learn,
the positives from the loop!

It showed me what man could achieve,
if they worked hard and trained good.
And If they just let their ideas and intuition,
tell their attitude that "they could!"

For it's the idea that matters,
what follows is just a story.
So,let's be happy and celebrate,
In all of mankind's glory!

Let me know what you think!

Thank you all for so much!

Best Wishes,

Mackenna

Hello all!:001_smile:

Here's a rhyme I came up with for congratulating and welcoming the new members, to the T-I family's Circle of Trust. I posted this in the Welcome Thread and I thought it would be a good idea for me to post it in here for those members who may have missed it. Here goes...

Before crying aloud for help!

PS: Do let me know what you think about this as a Welcome rhyme. I've been bumping this post on the Official Welcome thread, approximately every week with the hope that new members get the message and perhaps this rhyme may give them a few pointers as they start navigating through the forums.

But a part of me feels that no one may be looking forward to reading a rhyme,especially after completing all the hustle and bustle of the interviewing formalities and I completely understand why that would be.

And as I have yet not received any feedback about the rhyme from any of the new members, I'm thinking of no longer bumping this post and letting it gently fade away into oblivion.. What do you'll think??

Thanks a lot! And I'm eagerly awaiting to know your views!

Best Wishes,

Mackenna:001_smile:

The stars shine like a thousand diamonds in your eyes
Your smile so sweet it melts away the chills with the warmth it gives
Your skin so soft with each touch I make.

The strength that you give to me when your by my side
I can hear your heartbeat next to mine.

You dry each tear that I might cry
You let me lay my head down on your chest
As we lay down next to each other
Our souls are destined to be together
the bond that ties us will live forever
