Activities

Events that occur on a daily basis. Interactions that would be considered the norm and how they are able to shape our perception of the world and people. People come not only in all shapes and sizes but they are all unique in their own way. The impression we may have of a person also may determines how we may view race, religion and even ourselves. I will talk about something that has effected me and that has left a lasting effect on me.

Monopoly

Isolated on this exotic island of my thoughts,
I've been on the last few days,
Contemplating my inner discord.

I have found myself shaking off the shadows of people
who try to mold their image into mine.
They give themselves many names in my life and yet they hunger to destroy me.
with their views they try to reshape the mold of my mind.

I have anchored myself on this rock,
of stubbornness some might say........
or frivolous self center that is bound to erupt with your boundless contempt.

You demean and try to gain my sympathy of the worlds flaws and yet I know you see the
youthful side of yourself that had dared to dream and had failed.
At this point I am sick of your self pity for it hasn't propelled no ship in the ocean
rather had made it sink due to a hole of your own self making.

I take my gift back of acceptance for you don't deserve it.
You have no value of this gift when you fling your judgments in my face,
which has proven your ingratitude and has made me even more cynical in the aspects of the human nature.

Funny I should surround myself with people who don't understand the monopoly's standpoint.
Albert Einstein was a heretic for his words and his ideas.
Vincent van Gogh was thought as crazy for his frustrations and the lack of an ear.
Yet you admire these men and use them as a resource for your inspirations.

Your parroting of your open mindedness has made you the complete opposite.
Have you realized that yet? I wonder?

I Am not diminished by your falter or your lack of support.
Despite the adversity I've always been the victor.
My enemies have admired my perseverance.
You have joined their ranks so be it.

But remember the monopolies were the Great thinkers of our time......
They were mocked for their ideas by their fellow peers and
you make the same error when you do the same,
For in the process you have only closed yourself to the world
in a box of your own deploring state
that disintegrates with the passage of time.

You wont find me in your presence,
for you lack the inner strength in yourself of being a warrior.
your negativity will no longer effect the inner monopoly in me for I realized
your search of crumbs has left you with no shell
the shell of exploring the mysteries of this world
and being stout in your beliefs.
Not just with yourself but with the world,
for that is where it really counts!
