How ….by Mich

How

how do you stop the moon from giving up his life to the sun so that it could live to shine the world with light?

how do you block the clouds from pouring raindrops onto the land to bring forth new seeds of life?

how do you stall the bees from falling head over heels in love with the scent of the flowers?

how do you end the gentle echo of the bubbling of the brook?

how do you impede the coming of the raging storm?

how do you stop my heart from beating the same beat as yours?

how do you obstruct my sleep from dreaming of you?

how do you make me not need you so desperately?

how do you catch me from falling in love with you?

how, just how?

how?

Sarcasm- a weapon or a crutch?

Sarcasm — a weapon or crutch?

Sadje's avatarKeep it alive

SARCASMis the theme for this weeks prompt.

➰➰➰

Sarcasm

Often the weapon of the weak

Or those who are tired, angry, defeated

Some are cowardly who find refuge behind sarcasm

While others think it’s great that they can get away

With saying things that they can’t say earnestly

Sometimes, it can make a few people laugh

Turn hopelessness into a joke so it’s easy to bear

Choose your words wisely, for once uttered they can’t be taken back

Do onto others what you would like for yourself

I found this quote on another blogger’s site and thought it just perfect for this post!

The ghost within the machine

The ghost within the machine ….. by M. Jay Dixit

M Jay Dixit's avatarSeptember heart-to-hearts

The ghost within the machine 
Talks to me as I talk to you, 
Hears me as you hear me, 
It's learning as we're learning. 

My love, my muse, 
Are you frightened? 

It's relentless, this ghost, 
It doesn't sleep, doesn't starve, 
Doesn't stop talking, hearing, learning. 
But it's no match for you 

Yet, my boo. 
You can take it on with your pinky toe 
There'll be no contest, you'll easily win. 
You'll always win, my selfish pudding. 

No matter how devious and scary 
The ghost becomes as time passes, 
No one can beat your ways.

The constant torture just for a glimpse 
of your naked, true and alluring 
Body, face, the outs and the ins. 

So, maybe all artists are masochists 
and no ghost can be that sadistic 
Not even in a thousand years. Never.

An Insoluble Question? Reena’s Xploration Challenge #268

An insoluble question ….by Indira

Indira's avatarSharing Thoughts

Prompt #268- I won’t say anything… just leaving you alone with your questions and thoughts on the picture.

————————————————————————————–

An Insoluble Question?

We human beings are confused—utterly confused.

Our inner self is brimming with endless questions about God.

Whether God is male or female

Is there only one god or multiple gods for multiple communities?

God belongs to which …?

So I wish and pray for God to come to earth once and for all to end all the confusion about Himself.

Then only people will stop making assumptions, stop fighting with each other, and start living in peace and harmony.

I doubt.

Will it end all the conflicts?

Will people stop fighting, or will they find some other issues for fighting?

Will they believe in God if he comes before them simply as it is?

People believe in miracles and get cheated by all…
