Marking time, we celebrate or not
passages of a kinder sort are longed for
driven by the days on a celestial ride
we sucome to expectations of the masses.
Marking time, we change our outside
seeking a glossy mag look
following a dream of beauty
knowing that it’s all mistaken identity.
Marking time, we lift our breasts
we suck out, pinch up and erase
lines that tell our story
forsaking ourselves for the ideal.
Marking time, we give ourselves
away piece by piece
inside us is a yearning to be seen
the mirror blocks our view as we
wipe away the next miracle.
Marking time, when time is through marking us
our hearts will rejoice
that our souls will be free
to recreate and begin again.

Arrows show us where,
marking our direction
Where are the arrows in our vision
when life becomes pointed?

Those who don’t find their ways to these comfortable green jello serving white padded houses of luscious sedation are always quiet in their thought patterns.

Peoplekind eventually after years of evolution learned how to quickly combine or remove an odd number of items from something they had. They labeled what they were doing mathematics. And it was good. But mathematics, like everything else in this world, was taken too far and blown out of proportion. We should have stuck with simple adding and subtracting. For quantum mechanics and the usage of “higher math,” makes us doubt our abilities. Just because there is a select few people that can do it doesn’t mean that others should push it upon the world. The basics are a great addition to ones intellect, but is quantum mechanics or theoretical mathematical design really necessary for the youth of america? It does nothing but force doubt of our on capabilities into the hearts of our students.
