The Daily pages

I am reading the pages,
and at this age,
it feels like a cage.
The presence of rumors, drafted on countless leaflets.
There is a man across the street hailing," here is a copy, extra-extra, read everything about it!"
I hand out my note that exchanges money for paper.
It's a battle for words, as i look across the daily headlines.
I am swamped by the heaviness of emotions and the reporting of situations.
Page 2, is clothed in an ironic twist of words, and an intelligent review of fame.
It holds the bold and italics colorfully coated with smiling letters and playful words.
I am in happy land, there is excitement, bountiful, flaring and firing me up. I love this section perused every bit of it, the cartoonist satire is plucking humor and that tickles me...

I draw the next page open, sweeping my fingers along the top left corner page, its a colorful article, "doing what you love". The writer has played his character well, he has implored on things that make people happy, positive change of words is vivid across his message. This is what I was hoping to see, a world full of cheer and bliss.
I am contemplating to end this journey here, but my exploration and curiosity has pulled me to Page 19.
I'm suddenly horrified by the change of images. Words here, are full of catastrophe, i could tell that there is a frantic cry of humanity.
My eye is re-typing every word, i am held behind its column bars each with a distinct magnetic visual pull. The Vicious acts of power, the innocent cries of families and the distant voices of children suffocating in war.
As I turn the page, I come face to face with a picture of a young man gazing to the horizon, his back arched to my face, his body dented and torn by bullets and nails...scars that will forever tell a painful story.
I am left in awe, my spirit torn by the disconnect of this world, the good and evil, the greed that separates us all. We forget that we are flesh from the same Earth.  

My mind is set apart...
I am drowned with mixed emotions each visibly spelling a raw message,
as I close this chapter, the thickness vanish and I realize I am back to page 2.

The Psychology of Man

Photo courtesy of  Advancedcognitivepsychology I found one of those ' Sacred   books '.  This book was special. The cover was not the 'usual' women's books. The kind that greets you with shiny sprinkled flowers and screaming pink petals. No, t he cover was a Man .   He stood there with his sassy smile, plain and simple, notably exhibiting signs that he was the author.  He dared me intuitively to open this condensed book, pages slightly below my usual huge feminine reams.  The opening statement was carefully crafted and i had a sudden cognitive urge to quickly flip through the book.... My oh my! the minute i got tagged onto the intro, I knew i was going to read this entire book!   Let's say it took me the whole day, to flip, gnaw, criticize, but yes i did it...read and got disturbed!  So this is dedicated to our girlfriends-sisters out there, who have been urging me to let this canon loose...! ...

Bitter sweet

Escape from Blood Diamond

Photo Courtesy of  Culanth Escape from Blood Diamond "This is dark, but this is survival," he said. He dug deep found the pearl among the swine. But they found him, hidden amongst the thicket, glazed with dust and sprinkled water. Stranger in their eyes, he clasped his jewel in the palm of his hands, held onto it, like “manna” in the desert. Boa, stared right beneath their stare and saw the green look in their eyes. He knew he would be isolated, made into an alien in his own village. He saw the Bullets of war, polished with raw blood, sparkling in the dusty roads. Bruised bodies, emerging from the ground. The ground of riches, the earth of diamonds. Their fingers dripping with blood, diamonds clasped tightly in their arms. The crystal left them with broken arms, plunging faces coated with thin bones edging into their dusty skin. Boa knew he was next, to be hit hard with steel-iron, fired with greed. He swore to them he had nothing, tears curvi...
