Existing

Existing Noises, curses, poverty all around There’s hardly a moment when there is no sound. Sad faces, stagnation, ambitions low. Nothing is fast, it all seems so slow.

You Alone

You Alone You wish to move that block of stone, to make an opening, to pave a way. You steadily push it before you. Sometimes you tire. But somehow, within, you find the strength to push. Your walk is like beach sand.

Caged

Caged Freedom to dwell wherever I tread Not confined to locations with boundaries Zoning, districts, busing Unleash me so I can roam free To see mountains and rivers and trees of all sorts To open up and breathe in fresh air Somewhere where the sky is not blocked but in plain view Uncage me so I can go FREE.

A Blank Sheet

A Blank Sheet They enter blameless into this world, like a blank sheet of paper. New, fresh, clean, spotless, Just waiting to be written on, Who will be the first to write? Will it be Ms. Incest, Mr. and Mrs. Poverty, Madam Rape to name a few? Or, maybe Sir Death will sign in before the others do.

How Do You Really Feel?

How Do You Really Feel? Good morning. How are you? I’m fine. How are you? Are you always fine when you say those words? Or are you being repetitious in your everyday greetings. If you stop to say how you really feel, Your morning greetings might turn into evening goodnights.

When Night Falls

When Night Falls When night falls, do you have a place to lay your head? Or do you search for a cubby hole or a card board box to crawl into? Maybe you’re blessed enough to have relatives or friends, Or maybe you’re not. While it is day, it’s okay You can walk the streets or seek shelter in a mall or restaurant. But when night falls, It’s natural to find a place to lie. While others are going into their abodes and shutting the doors, You seek a safe, warm, refuge just to lay your head. Copy… Continue

The Heart That Keeps On Beating

THE HEART THAT KEEPS ON BEATING It has the most important job. Wounded yet it never skips a beat. There is no gluing or stitching involved, it just continues to work, as if oblivious to attacks. It’s a wonder and many are in awe of it. It’s the pumper of life. Sometimes it’s carelessly handled and is crushed easily. Many are not conscious of its fragileness. It is the holder of emotions and takes a direct hit when trampled upon. Shattered, broken and cracked in many places, however never gi… Continue

Michael Vanderberg says change can be significant even if not everyone takes part.

Senate Democrats Near Compromise On Health Care

After tough negotiations, Senate Democrats are nearing a deal on a plan for offering health insurance through the government. It may not be the so-called "public option" discussed for months, but it could be the thing that finally gets a health care bill through the Senate.

Plaintiff In Indian Case On Settlement

The federal government announced Tuesday a $3.4 billion settlement with Indian trust account holders after more than a century of mismanaging their money. Elouise Cobell, a lead plaintiff in the long-running lawsuit Cobell v. Salazar, says the settlement means a lot to her, but more for American Indians who have waited a long time for justice.

High Court Skeptical Of Anti-Fraud Law

Big Waves Delight Surfers In Hawaii

On the North Shore of Oahu, massive waves are pounding the coastline — and delighting surfers. A huge storm in the Pacific is creating epic conditions for the annual big wave surfing championship.

Study: 30 Percent Of Americans Are Caregivers

A new study says that 66 million Americans provide care for an elderly parent, family member or a disabled child, and that caregiving has become an unpaid, part-time job. On average, caregivers provide 19 hours of help a week, and this causes people to miss work or to quit work altogether.

Hondurans Seek Resolution Of Political Unrest

Honduras are hoping that the recently held presidential elections will put the nation's political crisis in the past. Like many Hondurans, one man in the northern coastal town of Tela says he just wants the situation settled.
