I should have kept this love inside
There it could have suffocated
Silently
Without any of this
Protest
Silently, it could have suffocated
There it could have writhed
And died
I should have kept
this love
inside
Since yours has
already died
I’m empty, full of broken pride
I should have kept
this love
inside

PARASITES by John Patrick Boutilier
How many souls are lost to money
How many lives devoted to greed
The more they get, the more they want
Till want becomes a need
No amount it seems enough
No sum too small to steal
As for their victims, they don’t care
They no longer feel
They’ll plunge their hands deep in your pocket
They’ll put a bullet in your head
All you have, they will grab
Be you alive or dead
They’ll use sweet words to seduce
They’ll smile and call you friend
The pats on back, the reassurance
They’re nothing but pretend
They’ll welcome you into their homes
Call you part of family
Setting trap, the plan in action
To lower the guard of thee
But all the while they’ll be watching
Their focus set on you
Your every word, your every gesture
Everything you do
They seek find in you a weakness
A vulnerability to exploit
When crack is found, they take advantage
In a manner most adroit
There’s not a tactic that is known
Too low for them to use
But be not weak, stand your ground
You’ve everything to lose
As manner of such parasites
They will leave when you are clean
Without a care, expose to air
Soon they’ll not be seen
The only power they possess
Is that which you allow
Give them a fright, turn on the light
Be gone infection now

I loved this poem because, it is a true picture of our society and John narrates it so well. Here are his books and a bit more about him…

Cool insight
Everything I learned at Britmums can be summarised into one sentence: Ignore Google at your peril. Ok, I may have learned about other things too but the ubiquity and importance of Google seemed to be the underlying theme of many discussions.
Why?
1. Search Engine Prowess
Google is the number 1 search engine in the world. YouTube (owned by Google) is the number 2 search engine.
I have never actually thought of YouTube as a search engine. But, of course, it is. If I need to find instructions on something, it’s my first stop. I taught my daughter how to do a headstand for her gymnastics competition based on instructions from YouTube and figured out how to convert my son’s Optimus Prime transformer into a truck on YouTube as well.
I always think of YouTube as instructional but for many people it is also entertainment (including my children). For…

You will want more, and even more
You will grow in you… so much, like a thirst
if you kiss
brivido d’amore
vorrai di più, ancora di più
potrai crescere in te cosi tanto, come una sete
se ti bacio
fior
ai să vrei mai mult, și mai mult
ai să crești în tine atât de tare, ca o sete
dacă te sărut

You picked your luggage,
Hit the road,
Traveled till your clothes were soiled,
As you lay in bed with a beautiful damsel,
And looked into her eyes,
A sea of sorrow pierced your soul,
With irrevocacable guilt,
You resurrected your life,
From the dungeon of wilderness,
And kept walking,
Till you found the lane back to your home,
In my arms again.
I am unapologetic about the mistakes I have made in the past. I only learn.
I am rude to people who interfere in my life with no concern but, only inquisitiveness.
I am confident and even arrogant at times.
Yes, I am proud about what I have achieved.
I am thankful to everyone who loved me, stood by me.
I hate those who did nothing but, saying I am a mad woman who is too proud and egoistic.
I need constructive criticism, not brainless comments.
Gosh!!! that was honest. I am feeling happy after putting it down in words. Makes me stronger.
