Freedom is somewhat limited
In a so-called democratic society
At times, people cannot truly tell it like it is
People cannot vote freely
Without some restrictions or some stupidities
In order to weaken the disadvantaged
Even though the US first amendment guarantees
Freedom of speech, freedom of expression
To assemble peacefully, freedom of religion
Freedom is not what it is
It is not how it is articulated in the glossary
Freedom is relative, please
Do not say fire vociferously
Or yell gun in the theater
At church or in the street corner
You will be prosecuted
Freedom is not what it should be
It is not what the US Constitution intended
It to be
Freedom is somewhat controlled and limited.

Forget all stupidities,
even these pitiful follies...
while raging thoughts
agitate and infuriate us!
Give up madness,
use logic to end quick solutions;
learning together does wonders!
Show willingness,
accept imperfections as faults
and take the road of delights!
Forget all stupidities
that made us shout angry words;
no time can be restored to minds
not fond of memories!
We tried and failed,
and now, we regret
our foolishness of children;
we should have guessed
what the future held,
not being stubborn
in our narrow mindset
and saved much sweat!
What can two lovers
do standing at crossroads:
split or stay together,
forget all stupidities,
reject all disparities
or try to get better?

I am thoroughly disgusted by foolish absurdities
From morons who wallow in conspiracy theories
Who try, indeed, to convince us the earth is flat,
And NASA didn’t land on the moon, think of that!
They say there was no such thing as a Holocaust,
Spewing out their hot gas like odious exhaust.
Fools run around stirring up dissent and distrust
While seeking publicity, leaving verity in the dust,
Bad enough they circulate the most pernicious lie
Incredible how many folks complex stupidities buy.
We have thousands of weak-minded individuals
Who, in ignorance, think they are intellectuals!
I ask, what is to be gained by promoting discord,
How much of this gross foolishness can we afford?
Isn’t it time we learn to accept facts and raw truth?
For the sake of our future; for the sake of our youth.

I wish falling
Down because of
Gravity didn't hurt
I wish playing
Pretend didn't
Crumble a heart
I wish the
Imagination
Was a reality
I wish the madness
And insanity
Didn't break
My heart
I wish the sky
Knew when
It was a good day
I wish the
Stupidities that
Roam go
Skydiving
on stormy days
I wish
My Lovely
Aspirations go far
I wish to live
As long as
Possible
may be eons
or more
I wish to
Live life without
hardships and struggles
I wish for the man
Of my dreams
To Come along
And sweep me off
and away
I wish
I wish
I wish
Life would
Grant these wonderful
wishes just for me
today
Stupidity It breaks through the
Strong columns of overbearing walls
The ethical moral
of rights and wrongs
Surrounded by the
so called profound injustices
That were never stopped
Sharing the immoral suffrage
Stealing the innocence
That you were never given the chance
By the lords heavenly call
Innocence unspoken of the truth
tarried by the stupidity
broken down by
the unnecessary comments of
the many few
deep regret
through the surging pain
the unlawful break- ins of the soul
losing ones sense of morals
through stupidities
one of Its Greatest and outstanding charms
Stupidity
If I can not astonish you with all my wisdoms;
I can always flabbergast and,
In absolute certainty, astound you
With such collection of stupidities,
Said in such wondrous zest
And absolutely no spark of talent,
That God above, first - cringe
And then – erupt in laughter.

My birthday skin of 80 year old soul
It wrinkles here and there but I’m pretty
Who would’ve thought I used to be a fool
Had chased abstract things, had left me dizzy
My first hubby said I was a witty
But I kept on searching for compliments
Stupidities were wrapped in arguments
For my second, I never loved him sweet
He did do worst things inside our moments
Had enough after, I stood on my feet
A perfect skin for 80 year old me
Did I say I feel pretty? I did, right?
Aged skin, cracked bones, grey hair; a beauty me
Blurry sight never fails my inner light
Of my self, I had put up selfish fight
It did come when I was 60, oh my!
I thought before 70 I would've died
Never thought of this as a bless before
I stopped offer myself to random guy
Respect my weak body for a year more

I used to hang around with you
Right here, over there, everywhere
We used to giggle over our stupidities
Right here, over there, everywhere
Where are you now?
I’m sure I have a right to ask
speak softly soothe skeptical soldiers.
solicit sages solemn solace sombre soliloqy.
silence sinister speakers speaking
spiritless slogans spiting spightful signs
sift spontaneous sincerity signaling sooth
switch stuborn stupidities superflious supplications
supply superior supplications seeking Soverigns succor
search subtle subversion spreading such syphilis
silently subvert singularly subtle saboters
stimulate stern stewartship, stifle stinginess
spurn squawkers spurious spouting
stymie stylish subdivisions
sing songs signifying single sole solidarity
stupendously swing swift swords
stand strong stoic stern stealth
show splindors spiritual side
send special supremacys silver sight
such suitable sufficent spontanious souls
sow signals sought selflessly since salvation
savor Saviors salutory silence
seek sanctuary since sacrifice
so sacred so sadistic
saith saints suffering sagas
save sordid self searching sealed soul
sence sensation salvation shores
shun satans six six six
smell smoldering sinners smitten
solitify salvation seeing single source
