Think well of others
Kindness doesn’t cost a thing
In our lives grand scheme
Selflessness goes a long way
To be more than just oneself.
AAA/MAD 12/26/24
True love
isn’t wasted.
Like a brief passing fad.
Build and develop something that
is Real
-AAA 10/09/2024
A soft gentle touch
Warm tender reassurance
Will go a long way
In a cold dark heartless world
Would make all the difference
-AAA 09/26/2024
Hate will never win
As love undoes all its sins
Knowing that, we grin
Together we will begin
In our hearts, love grows within…
-AAA/MAD 09/24/2024
Only the bravest
Strongest hearts on the earth will love
All other people
So Indiscriminately
Without it being returned…
-AAA 08/24/2024
Happy are the humble
The entire earth is theirs
The vain always fumble.
–
For their lack of cares
As life’s a roughened tumble
When you’re caught unawares.
–
The walls we build up will crumble
When we share and trust
If not then it’s all our bumble.
–
Isolated and alone, we wither and rust
Be a community of colleagues and friends
Or our entire society will be a bust.
–
Mutual happiness that never ends
A world of love we all are part
As long as we make amends.
–
So at the end we talk of start
Mending bridges reaching out
Weaker we are when we’re apart.
–
That’s what life is all about
So we must be happy together
And make this lifetime count…

Words are our defense.
To cruelties of a cold world.
Countering the bad.

Providing a shield.
To the harsh realities.
We all must deal with.

New words every day.
Arise through inspirations.
Through experience.

Many lessons learned.
Through the mistakes of our pasts.
Reap many rewards.

They’re a catalyst.
For the words that preserve us.
A creative shield.

That blocks future pain.
Blotting out all the darkness.
And giving us, light.

*Introduction*: I have nothing against Christianity organized religion. I myself was born and raised. Roman Catholic and I still have many of those beliefs and others too. I just don’t like people judging other people for any reason last I checked none of us are God!
Please don’t be offended by these words or just my idea that we need to get along and not judge each other. I have a real problem with people thinking they’re better than other people. It’s not right it’s not what Jesus wanted. It is not what God wants. It’s not what anybody wants. We need to find a way to get along in peace in this life and stop worrying about the next life or we’re all doomed, in my humble opinion.
It was religious/ethnic hate, and prosecution that led to my great grandparents both being murdered in the Armenian Genocide of 1917. My great grandfather was a Greek orthodox minister in the church there. It’s from their brutal deaths that I learned to love all and judge none from a young age and I think we all need to learn this before it’s too late. Thank you all and I hope you continue reading. ❤️ -aaa
No Room for Piousness
Coming down off their cross
Judging all others
Puts me at a loss
You’re not my sisters or brothers.
–
Christ taught love and understanding
Now chastising people
Your piousness not withstanding
Go back to your steeple.
–
I have nothing against anyone’s belief
As long as they do not hurt someone
Causing many, unneeded grief
Is not the love of anyone
–
Different views make the world go round
Embrace all that we can be
That where commonness can be found
Then the love and light we all shall see.
–
So please don’t try and impart
All judgments upon me
Though you know the Bible by heart
Try mastering common decency.
–
Please help the helpless
And give hope for the hopeless
That where we are the best
And this I must express.
–
In the end we are ALL the same
Members of this human race
So don’t place opposing beliefs or blame
Or kindly quickly leave this space…

It’s time to share a some thoughts
For those who’ve had hearts broken
It’s the ought to and ought nots
To whom that I have spoken
–
Take a deep look inside
And tell me what you see
If you’re not beaming with pride
You’re stuck and still not free
–
Look at all you’ve done
And all that you’ve survived
Not all of it was fun
But you’re here and still alive
–
Don’t worry about the future
Don’t dwell upon the past
Living in the present will suture
All the wounds you have amassed
–
Take lots of chances
In any opportunity to change
No more missed advances
Embrace your inner strange
–
Move forward on your journey
But know just where you are
If you’re twenty, fifty-two, or thirty
You are a shining star
–
So pat yourself right on the back
And have some pride, my friend
For your journeys been on a weary trek
But the worst of it is at an end…
