The End Of Poverty
This is a movie on YouTube. It has to do with how poverty and starvation has been forced upon the poorer southern countries of the world. If you watch this you should watch the whole thing. Like Noam Chomsky says, "It takes time to develop and explain an idea".http://youtu.be/pktOXJr1vOQ
Show me the light.
We all make decisions daily, often never considering the outcome. What we do can have a direct effect on our closest friends and confidants and a belated effect on the people in the world around us. Were we to be able to recognize this we my stave off many of the ill consequences of our daily actions. Don't forget to look for the light at the end before you decide to take the road. mailto:oz47poet@live.com

What will be my epitaph? I know that some consider too much what others think and most never let it cross their mind. To aspire to fame I believe to be vanity but to impact the world is a real life happening. We all leave a wake of some kind, even if no more than a drops ripple. To me the joy of my life is to contemplate at the suns going down all the smiles I helped to create during the long hot day.

What have I become?
Did we not all pass through?
Did we not land naked
and crying or screaming or whimpering
on this land?
This earth?
What troubles have we not had to experience?
What lives have we not seen and touched?
Have we not all been fortunate to have passed through?
The train passes though the tunnels on it's way to Guangzhou
From Chongqing leaving lives to see lives anew.
While darkened at times the light
again shines through.
Have we not all passed through lonely places
like darkened tunnels looking for that light
to shine through again and again?
Have we not all loved the ones we found near?
Those whom we found so dear?
While we passed through were we no all become human?
you man and woman?
Did we not feel the passing through?
Will we remember our passage et all?
