Each one alone…

Each one alone,
We do condone,
In private conversation,
We victimize,
Our own demise,
When really we should compromise,
The other side,
Of the great divide,
Seems to have so much to hide,
We wall them off,
We turn and scoff,
Losing friends before we’ve made them,
When will we learn,
We should not burn,
Our bridges before we build them,
How to proceed,
There is a need,
Another way to get there,
We should all speak,
Because we’re all unique,
We all stand on our own high peak,
Shake up the quo,
Remake the flow,
That is the only way we grow,

The network of,
Passion and love,
Should be the path to get up above,
We need a guide,
A map inside,
That will bring us all together,
Until we do,
We shall accrue,
Entropic debt,
That can’t be met,
Without finding someone whose ideas we get,
Complementarily contributing to our collective content,
Grasping the issues and ideas that we meant,
So our sharing of resources has positive gain,
And our progress shall forever remain,
…
And our progress shall forever remain.

Nobody Was Created Equal

Nobody was created equal,
Everyone is unique,
And they seek,
To iron out every peak,
Like statistics on a chart,
People have a heart,
But up and down,
Is not left and right
Black and white,
We cannot fight,
One nation – many people,
Unity, unity is uniformity not,
Multiplicity yes,
Singularity no,
A binary path,
Is not the way we should go,
People in the system of a corporate control,
Have little to say in what they do, how they grow,
To hegemonic hierarchy, we must say NO!
Every person has ideals,
Wants, pleas, and appeals,
But this hides, it conceals,
Competition,
..
Competition,
..
Competition,
Competition,
Competition,
Competition,
They say competition breeds much success,
But in many this comes with considerable duress,
We don’t need to fight,
There is room to unite
– compete the unknown,
But still come together so the answers can been shown,
When the issue is quite clear,
But the solution far from near,
There is no reason to have fear,
If we work on what comes dear,
With a focus on substance, and our approach
Not the rhetoric bickering that leads to reproach,
Working together, despite a divide,
Trying to put our difference aside,
Means that the outcome has nothing to hide,
And when the solutions have been realized,
We will have revolutionized,
The way we think and act as a whole,
So that the future is in our control,
The collective uniqueness of a soul,
Who’s purpose and mission is shared in a goal,
To unite around difference, so life can proceed,
Without the tension of conflicting need.

I’m speaking to a crowd of no people

I’m speaking to a crowd of no people,
I’m singing out my wordless tune,
My songs flow out through my hand to my keys,
Because there they can take all the time that they please,

But this era of typing aphasia,
That plagues my every idea,
Of misspelling my thoughts through the lens of my brain,
Where connections are needed for friendship to gain,
This world of unknown connections,
To people who seem to care,
Looks like a trap to a false sense of closeness,
When really they hide, an internal grossness,

But, I’m speaking to a crowd of no people,
I’m singing out my wordless tune,
My songs flow out through my hand to my keys,
Because there they can take all the time that they please,

Like p, np, and politics,
The two sides of my brain can’t liaise,
And the umpteenth word not remembered or stuttered,
Results in great plans I have that get shuttered,
But at every turn, every small line of progress,
Entropy sweeps me away,
When all I need to succeed is one big success,
One thing to go right, without all the stress,
That happens when being all cooped up in your thoughts,
Unable to form into words,
When the only solace I can find,
Are my laptop and my mind,

Because I’m speaking to a crowd of no people,
I’m singing out my wordless tune,
My songs flow out through my hand to my keys,
Because there they can take all the time that they please,

I need to reach out to find someone,
Someone who has setbacks, like me,
Who can talk through their mouth but prefers to sing,
And has countless ideas, to which they cling,
Hoping and trying but never achieving,
Because they are a lot like me,
So I’m speaking to a crowd, to find people,
People with unique ideas,
Who’ve faced up to the challenge, all on their own,
Who’ve done many things, but their wish stays unknown,
And the implications of this pent up passion,
Unplacated because we’re paying to be poor,
But praying to be more,
So I’m singing out my wordless tune,
And I hope you hear my song.

Skinny Dipping

Diving down into the epidermisVisual of the epidermis

Well were off to the good old epidermal race,
On the top there’s… what appears to be dead skin cells filled with keratin,
These bygone keratin filled epidermal skin cells make up an outer Stratum called the corneum,
The stratum corneum is fairly superficial, however and often can be seen sloughing off this mortal coil to travel the winds and bring new begins, sometimes good but often ill.
Despite the fierce external forces that play upon these cells, the 15-30 layers stand this test of strength due to the super power of keratinization that prevents these forces from entering by ordinary means.
When these trite actions do not suffice however, as is so often the case in hand and foot, the stratum lucidum comes into play.
This flat layer keeps liquid out of the body through many dense lipid proteins called eleiden.
After going this far down in the race, it is time for some wholesome stratum granulosum!
About 3 -5 layers think, the stratum granulosum is what really churns out the proteins keratin and keratohyalin while saying good bye to the other cellular organelles,
Therefore, stratum granulosum is really the undertaker of the integumentary system,
But once filled up with granulosum that made the end to oh so many nuclei, we must proceed to the Stratum Spinosum!
At the stratum spinosum is the joining together of cells through the great structure of the name Desmosomes which interlocks and strengthen the bonds between the cells throughout.
Joined together, the stratum spinosum is the foe of many a foreign source or cell gone bad because of the interspersion of the mighty Langerhans cell.
These Langerhans that fight intruders do so like their white knights companions in blood, as macrophages that engulf bacteria and other evil forces that plague the epidermis.
As we near the end of this exhilarating race, we must come to where it all began – The Stratum Basale!
Unlike the herbal companion that usurped its name when said aloud, the stratum basale cannot photosensitize light,
None the less, this cuboidal-shaped stem cell is a precursor to much of the keratinocytes that make skin, skin; all from a single cellular layer.
But the basal cells are not the only cells in this important layer, there are two more which disperse themselves throughout the stratum basale,
A stimulating time can be had with the Merkel cell as this is the source for touch,
To add a little color to the layer, the melanocyte is used and also protects the integumentary system from the irradiating forces of UV light.
And so, thus ends the race, at long last, where we may wind down our palpitating hearts by meandering though the basement membrane.
While we’re there, we must wonder at the fingerlike projections called dermal papillae,
The more numinous these pillars of support for the epidermis are, the stronger the connection is that binds the layers together, never to be forgotten.

And orange is a fruit

And orange is a fruit,
That should be eaten every day,
They have dietary fiber,
That makes stomachs feel all keen,
The vitamins found in them,
(The most prevalent is C)
Make you function at your best,
So you ace that real big test,
Potassium is high,
So I needn’t tell a lie,
They make the blood flow strong,
So you can’t prove me wrong,
Eat an orange every meal,
Even though they’re hard to peal,
And you will rarely have a cold,
But instead grow very old!
