Those clothed and fed,
and feeling content,
may pass them by, again and again...
But, those in need of a place to rest their head,
a hot meal, rags, and someone to take them in,
may stop and find shelter readily available therein...

We remember the beautiful words of poets, but overlook the practical wonder of their insights and observation.
We quote from scriptures, for the beauty of their words and we recite the recitations, admiring the rhythm, as they flow; but, forget the simple lessons therein.
We recall the amazing feats of ancient men and women, but forget the plain meaning behind the symbolism of their lives.
I have been called beautiful for far too long. Today, I want to be among the ugly... so that the observer remembers every other reason, I am even worth mentioning.
I KNOW what someone else has done to us, but, what can I do for my brother?
I can create rhythm, rhyme and metaphor for days, but, what lessons have I left for the children?
I could write all sorts of compliments for "Queens," and still hold her as nothing more than an object of my desires.
How have I caused Respect for the women?
Questions I asked myself, in contemplating whether to ever write another poem...
So, I don't write poems, I simply write thoughts that may happen to rhyme.
