3/16/05 HELLO, AND PEACE TO ALL! I'D LIKE TO SHARE A LITTLE BIT OF ME WITH YOU AND WELCOME YOU TO MY WORLD AND HOPE YOU'RE INSPIRED SOMEHOW TO EXCEL AND GRAVITATE THE BEAUTY OF OTHER WORLDS POSITIVE AND UNKNOWN. THESE ARE SOME OF MY THOUGHTS AS POEMS, PARABLES AND SHORT STORIES. S.HOLMAN ALL COPYRIGHTS(C)2001-2005 LIBRARY OF CONGRESS WASHINGTON, D.C. 20559-6000 WWW.CROWNPUBLISHING.NETFIRMS.COM SELGYPCROWN@YAHOO.COM "BEAUTY" YOU WRITE A RIDICULOUS POEM, AND REALIZE IT NEEDS MENDING. YOU REPHRASE THE WORDING - AND CORRECT THE STORY-LINE, BUT CONCENTRATE NOT ON - THE NEED FOR PERFECTION, BUT LEARN THE BEAUTY - OF SELF-CRITICISM. "FEAR" YOU GO ON AN - INTERVIEW FOR A JOB. YOU GET OFF THE BUS; AND REALIZE YOU ARE - STILL SIX BLOCKS AWAY FROM YOUR DESTINATION. PERHAPS YOU WILL BE LATE. THE AD IN THE PAPER - IS ALREADY A WEEK OLD. OBVIOUSLY, THERE WILL - BE OTHERS VYING FOR THE POSITION. YET, YOU ARE SKILLED, AND DESERVE A CHANCE. IS IT WORTH THE - SIX BLOCK JOURNEY, OR WILL YOU BE - REJECTED FOR INCOMPETENCE? THE ANSWER LYS NOT - IN WHETHER YOU SUCCEED OUT OF FEAR, BUT WHETHER YOU SUCCEED OUT OF FAITH. "JEALOUSY" A RICH YOUNG MAN WHOSE HEALTHY, WISE AND - MAINTAINS A BEAUTIFUL FAMILY, CAREER AND LIVELIHOOD - BECOMES ILL ONE DAY. THE DOCTOR FINDS NO AILMENT. THE MAN IS NOT A HYPOCHONDRIAC. YET, HE IS DIAGNOSED - WITH A MENTAL DISORDER. YOU SEE, HIS NEIGHBOR - AN OLD POOR ILLITERATE PEASANT WHOSE EXTREME HAPPINESS - PROVOKES THIS PATIENT'S JEALOUSY. "RACISM" RACISM - LIKE A FILTHY ANNOYING FLY THAT FEEDS OFF OF ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING - FROM FECES TO THE GARBAGE IN THE GUTTER. "HATE" HATE - LIKE MAGGOTS SQUIRMING TIGHTLY TOGETHER - GROWING FAT OFF EACH OTHERS' BODY SCUM. "INCOMPETENCE" BEING PHYSICALLY DISABLED BY TWO BROKEN LEGS - BUT, NOT REALIZING THE POWER OF A FREE AND BOUNDLESS MIND. "LOVE" LIKE A FLOWER WELL BLOOMED, ADORED AND BEAUTIFUL - TO THE EYE; LIKE A FLOWER STILL BEAUTIFUL, AND WELL LOVED - AS IT SHRIVELS AND DIES. "FAME" YOU'VE REACHED THE SUMMIT PEAK OF - THE MOUNTAIN TOP. LOOKING DOWN - YOU HEAR THE ROAR OF THE CROWD BENEATH YOU - CHEERING FRANTICALLY FOR YOU. SUDDENLY, THERE'S A LANDSLIDE, YOU TRAIL THE SLOPES - TO THE FOOT OF THE MOUNTAIN. LOOKING UP - YOU HEAR THE ROAR OF THE CROWD ABOVE YOU - FADING GENTLY AS THE SILENCE ENGULFS YOU. "SUCCESS" CRUELTY - CAN PERMANENTLY SCAR. KINDNESS - CAN PERMANENTLY HEAL. "GOOD AGED WINE" 'TWAS THE DAY WE DIDN'T FIGHT, BITCH - OR TRY TO KILL EACH OTHER. - AND THE SHEETS WERE WET WITH OUR DESIRE. FIRE IN OUR EYES - AND THEN THE SILENCE. AND EVERY DROP, OR OUR LOVE WE DRANK - TO THE FULLEST, LIKE GOOD AGED WINE - EXCEPT OUR LOVE'S UNFILTERED, NON-BOTTLED. A CABERNET WE ADORE, LIKE PERHAPS HEITZ MARTHAS'VINEYARD - 1990 FOR SURE. I HOPE YOU'VE ENJOYED THESE LITTLE SMALL TESTIMONIES OF LIFE'S EXPERIENCES FROM MY BOOK TIME PASSAGES. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME AT SELGYPCROWN@YAHOO.COM - THANK YOU AND PEACE AND LOVE TO YOU ALL!

Since I was 7, i saw the world wisely as i was 17, its all looks the same, nothing has changed in my mind, But Soceity changed everything, a word and get you aressted....and pharse can get you killed. For i see the world the same way, as before i learned about Einstein, i thought similar to him, so close its scary, for i have a great mind, and a great understanding at life. I am not math genius like Einstein, but i can change the world, as i know i can, i come across the problem of SOCEITY, how can i change the world at a point in time when the world wont listen, THEY Say im a child,at 17 , age is only a number, my understanding of life would say i am a senior citizen. For i never said these words before, but now seemed as if it was the right time...

As I see it, we're all on the playground of life, its just that most of us have our legs stuck in the monkey bars.... -Ali Drumm

What would happen if everyone in the world took the biggest gasp they could at the same time?

If you break down the world "politics," poli=poly=many tics=ticks=small blood sucking creatures Politics = many small blood sucking creatures If Pro is the opposite of Con Is Progress the opposite of Congress?

Everyone should have something to believe in. I believe I'll go fishing.

If ignorance is bliss, then why is the planet not a paradise?

All comunication is nothing but explanation.

You have to live life with all your heart. It's like James Dean said "Live as if you'll die tomorrow. Dream as if you'll live forever."

Here is a poem that I wrote in the 6th grade..I am now in the 8th grade. And I still live by that poem! It's all about Us The squirrels eat peacefully, The birds chirp loud, The sounds of the music make this little world proud. I sit here and think of how my life counts, And how every single person costs a big amount. You and I both know we all are not perfect, So those happy little creatures are very very worth it. We all seem so happy in out happy little houses, But just think of those who don't even own blouses. This world of ours is mine and yours to share, So why don't we all be very aware, It's all about us in the process of life. This little world of ours will live, It just might.
