Mysterious...
Mischievous...
Miraculous...
So many words of confusing meanings coagulating to become one
Exasperating even the strongest of lungs
A triathlete gasps for air; An olympian swimmer out of breath; Air looking for air
Happiness...
Hurtfulness...
Honesty...
Listen to the echos as it fills the void of the open air gasping for air
Words become language; Language become mutterings
Mutterings don't make…

My eyes are open shut
Seeing reality without meaning
Following life as it goes streaming
Carried off to distant unknown lands
Oblivious to what is happening
I feel the rise and fall of my breath
My focus centered to that life-bearing rhythm
Eyes open sewn shut while I stand
Noticing me standing I'm not with the stream
I'm free from this social trance
Finally making my first real steps
I gather everyone around me while I…

In a world where all physical features change over time, complex events occur within the biosphere creating natural phenomena such as: volcanic activity, sustained meteor collisions, disposition of landmasses, drastic climate changes, volatile weather patterns, and consequential results from organisms inhabiting it – to include but not limited to. The very reason for this is via the evolution of the biosphere itself. Through the Cambrian explosion to the Teritiary age, living organisms evolved…

In thinking about the growth of my understanding of society and identity, I have delved deep within the grasps of insanity. Reaching within myself, through agony and happiness, time and time again, I have stared myself blankly at my own face absentmindedly. The vicissitude of my deeper understanding in my true identity was an arduous path that was clouded by temporary upbringings, which defocused me from the present, holding onto my history, which falsely defined me, and wishful goals,…

Shrapnel of deceit multiply across the room
Deadly, sharp pieces envelope the air
Seeing the demise of another's doing
As only a few pierce into my body
Pain coercing through my nerves
Into my vertebrae where my brain feels the sensations
Illusionary pain brought into reality
Quickly born but ever so slowly dying
Lies told by a million mouths
But only a few find their way deep into my skin
Distorting my very truthful…

After an eventful sociology class, which delved deep into the understanding of cultures' (subcultures and countercultures) evolutionary growth, I walked towards the library. On my way there, I had noticed the gentleman with the physics book again. Only this time he was sitting by himself. I decided to spark up a conversation with this individual. Wearing a dark red and white horizontally stripped shirt, he introduced himself as Juan soon after my own introduction. Finally! I have placed a name…

I am sitting on a bench at the smoking area in front of the University Campus Library in Broward College. Although I am not smoking, I feel a sudden rush of thought surge through my brain thinking of the urge to smoke. I will not fall for it. Mere thoughts have been controlling my realities. Insanity. I will beckon to the very whims of all my thoughts. Instead, I choose to step back and observe them. Account for all of them and put them away like a tired librarian putting up books in a college…

When a child is born, the child goes through life untainted. Innocent. The act of growing occurs naturally. The unnatural part of the growth, however, is the maturity. As innocent as the child is, values are bestowed to the sibling by family, society, and other external factors. These values are not hereditary. They are a learned behavior. A child of the age of 4 years old may not have the same value of money when turning 28. That same belief in the value can also change when turning 50. Why is…

I've been maimed
I've been metaphorically shot
But through it all I have found my meaning
Living in better understanding of people's intent
I've been spat at
I've been yelled at
But now have better understanding
That people act blinded by social motives with no true content
Courageous efforts to prove that life has a meaning
Selfish efforts to define my own spirituality
Collective understanding to help direct humanity
Living…

There are times when I question myself if the leaders that we physically see are the true leaders of the world. Understandably, they lead humanity towards a collective goal. They gather the collective thought and drive it into reality. Who is to say that these physical leaders are not truly the leaders that we think they are? In reality, the leaders are the people themselves. They are not the head figures that we see in everyday living. The true leaders are the professors, musicians, artists,…

In our everyday lives, individuals feel the need to connect with another in hopes that their realities can be seen by the other. Throughout the years of humanity's existence, societies have always misunderstood each other due to communication, cultural, religious, and geographical barriers. These are the realities of which societies choose to live in whether they were subconsciously inherited or cognitively chosen. We have always, in at least one time during the span of our lifetime, felt as if…

When I think of life, I think of death
When I think of death, I think of life
All that I see are things unseen
All that are unseen are left to be seen
I walk a road of obstacles that lay ahead
I walk with determination and no bias
Feeling free from all worldly things
Feeling the truth in my heart
Giving to others that I can give of myself
Giving myself the time to learn more
Heading towards a destination unknown
Heading there…

A human individual quickly goes through experiences that determine his/her outlook in life. Life’s meaning. This is the same for humanity, except that it takes over a period of time instead of a lifetime. It’s humanity’s lifetime itself. One can grow from a child to an adult (for the lack of better description because there is no difference, in theory, between child or adult. Experience determines what an adult is, but a child is the same as an adult because deep within he/she still has the…

“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot…

I was sitting at the red brick circle in front of the University College Library at Broward College and overheard two individuals talking about physics. There was an adult man whom was wearing glasses and a flannel shirt with blue denim jeans. His accent was of a non-American decent. I was not sure if he was a professor or a student at first. When I scrutinized his physics book, I noticed it was a student edition. Understandably, one can not assume judging by the cover of the book this…

I do not see a delegation
For the four-footed.
I see no seat for the eagles.
We forget and we consider
Ourselves superior.
But we are after all
A mere part of the Creation.
And we stand somewhere between
The mountain and the ant.
Somewhere and only there
As part and parcel
Of the Creation.

As humanity grows, problems within itself arises. It is the inevitable bullet of evolution. Change will always be present at humanity's next step. How the change is accepted and handled will promote either better change or for the worse. As sicknesses and diseases exists in our lives, medicine and the technologies respective to it will be invented, reinvented, or dismissed. As our everyday lives through the past generations grow with these technologies, humanity's dependability to them cause a…

I have searched high and low for a destination unknown
Wanting to know more about the meaning of life
I have lost my ways by letting emotions control my very self
Letting thoughts become what I have not ever to have predicted to become
This lonely space of infinity
This vagueness of our physical life
Ever growing near to the truth of the very essence of being
Words emit thoughts and patterns of confusions
Wherein lies the very truth of which…
