these storms have turned the world all green

and sunlight limns the leaves in gold

no time today to chide or scold

 

we look and smile the birds all preen

while eager hunters become bold

these storms have turned the world all green

 

for beauty we have set the scene

a story known and often told

that hearts are broken and consoled

these storms have turned the world all green

no matter what the words remain the same

echoing blandly down the aching years

our beast once wild has now turned safely tame

 

your voice is one that could with depth proclaim

ending to hurt and to the weight of fears

no matter what the words remain the same

 

as when we started infants in the game

certain that we'd be the new cavaliers

our beast once wild has now turned safely tame

 

and we have come despite the threat of shame

to know the meaning of so many tears

no matter what the words remain the same

 

still they are uttered out of need for blame

while horror is doled out in lavish shares

our beast once wild has not turned safely tame

 

and cowers uncertain of the fading flame

as each who waits at last wails and despairs

no matter what the words remain the same

our beast once wild has now turned safely tame

they fill in visions and repeat in sound

the touch of light on rock the moving shade

marking a changing time then the parade

of trucks and buses moving folk around

since we must hurry to get off this ground

back to our homes back to the normal trade

of simple speaking in words that are flayed

out of all meaning then twisted and bound

a short escape leads to another place

with older energies but the same tide

washed on that shore beneath a certain light

allowing these historians to trace

the roots of anger and the base of pride

straight to their homes in certainty and right

for a short while we sit and watch the sea

the ships that pass the people on the shore

and then turn back to what we were before

 

there's understanding here of what must be

a straightforward accounting of the score

for a short while we sit and watch the sea

 

smile at the world knowing that we agree

on the good things that no one could want more

than such warm moments till the final door

for a short while we sit and watch the sea

this empty form with simple sound

is filled echoes amplify the space

they occupy but lack  the grace

 

to be both honest and profound

as keepers of spirit and pace

this empty form with simple sound

 

becomes the whole complete and round

that we desire more than the chase

of life itself marked on each face

this empty form with simple sound

what's given forth may come out true

we lose at first just so we learn

the complex tricks and in our turn

 

teach each young one to pay their due

expend a little and discern

what's given forth may come out true

 

each change will mean the world made new

by other hands and thus we yearn

to see the old fires once more burn

what's given forth may come out true

a story told  was measured once in lead

the words turned cold and grey with its hard weight

but in our age we value fear and dread

 

a single message on the page was spread

to give the people the plain meaning straight

a story told was measured once in lead

 

meanings held firm in each old reader's head

if not on paper we could see the date

but in our age we value fear and dread

 

above the meanings that were sent to bed

as the last call of copy came so late

a story told was measured once in lead

 

where pixels and electrons rule instead

no paradise nor  true human estate

for in our age we value fear and dread

 

up to the point where even we are led

to recognise the symbols on the plate

a story told was measured once in lead

but in our age we value fear and dread

there are no magic secrets in the mud

beneath our feet but worlds have passed away

while it was formed and our own great display

marks just a stage in passing drought and flood

each one of us from hero down to dud

knows that we have so little time to stay

and yet seem hasty to fritter our day

in silly matters that just waste our blood

time was we might have made some sort of stand

against the forces that push down so hard

to turn our efforts into so much smoke

but we are left with only a weak hand

remaining on what seems the final yard

and sense enough to understand the joke

She also focused on women’s freedom of speech, our right to vote and thought that marriage was an exposition assent to reproduce.

Mary considered that just because women and men get educated in the same classroom and/or educated on the same topic doesn’t guarantee that women would be simulated into a man but it would promise women independence.

Gouges’ best argument was that women and men should be given the same equal healing in both public and private life.

Gouges sets down the laws of the land between male and freedom ultimately explaining that both male and female should be seen as equal.

Her approach the feminine movement was half of philosopher, but also a female activist.

Gouges was a liberal feminism who believed that women should have equal rights just like men.

I believe their arguments are essentially the same due to the fact that they lived during the same time period and experienced similar issues such as not having the rights like men endured during that time period.

This document [The Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen] was created around the time of the French Revolution because the people weren’t treated as fairly as everyone else.

Liberty is presumed to be the people right to freedom.

The previous statement supported the French men right from oppression.

Through these three faucets women would have the tools needed to survive independently, should the need arise, and be active members of society.

Marie-Olympes de Gouges is considered to have written on topics that were long before her times.

The major area in which both Marie-Olympes de Gouges and Mary Wollstonecraft agree is that should the equality of women come about, the moral degradation of women would continue and would be a detriment to society.

The role of the women during this time was mainly domesticated duties and inevitably male subordination.

De Gouge also emphasized the natural laws of women based on the reocurrence of woman in the history of time.

Although both of the feminist concepts rectified the desire to only improve that which individualized persons, de Gouge was mostly passionate about the rights of woman, while Wollstonecraft sought the approach of receiving said rights, through education.

The prevelance of John Stuart Mill’s ideology in America’s early 21st century.

In society today, the United States of America have had numerous minority groups in a position of higher authority.

In addition, during the decade following 1954 more liberties were enacted to dismantle thresholds of injustice.

Both Marie-Olympes de Gouges and Mary Wollstonecraft we’re early modern feminist writers in the sixteen hundreds [commenting on texts written in 1791 and 1792 respectively!].

De Gouges writes that woman’s degradation steams from the subjection of subordination by men.

Even though there are several different religions like Jews, Muslims, Protestants, etc.,  France was not always subjected to the idea of their religions bedsides Catholicism practiced inside of their borders.

During that time in the eyes of the majority, it was believed that women were inferior to men and were overbearing and undeserving of citizenship.

Within America slavery has shifted to a non-existence. There are no entities who issue forced labor onto human beings and civil rights are promised to all citizens within the state.

 He also wanted the people to have a clearer understanding of the candidates running for office positions therefore he thought political debates were necessary to determine the voters decisions and debate type of setting are highly praised during America’s elections because it allows the people to understand who the candidates are.

She promoted equality of the sexes and defended notions that argued that women were helpless and just ornaments of the household.

They purported to convince the population that the talents and abilities of women spawn far beyond the current assumptions upheld by society.

Wollstonecraft and De Gouges concepts of political and social equality for women are feminist concepts that have hanged the role of women for ever.

They both advocated for the advancement of women inside and outside of their homes during the French Revolution.

Moral degradation is also an issue that Wollstonecraft argued firmly for.

Gouges was considered a very bold woman for her creation of the “Declaration of the Rights of Women and Citizens” and were criticized by all her doings, but it ultimately paid off and benefit a lot of women.

Regardless of how they approached the situation, but women were equally important to the feminist movement.

On September 11th, 2001 the United States suffered a foreign attack by way of plane hijackers who crashed in the World Trade Center and Pentagon which killed over 3,000 people. The attack singled at serious threat to United States security.

Many contradictions where made in the making of such documents and many contradictions are still being displayed now in present day.

Locke believed in to get out of the state of nature we need to form a social contract.

Men who live in the nation civil liberties should be protected as well because; they are a part of the driving force of the nation.

In both of these documents there were not any rights to women just as much as there were not any rights to enslaved men and those who were not considered citizens.

The USSR and the rise of John Lenin were optimistic in attempting to spread communism as if it were a contagious disease that would affect all states in order to find a balance and force the citizens to cooperate with the leaders and do as they are told.

But somehow the USSR was a communist nation with characteristics that mirrored imperialism.

Russia approached spit between seeing all central Asians as Muslims and looking at each group as a separate ethnicity.

They are two different forms of government with comparable fundaments.

The arguable were the only ones answerable to God unlike that of the Soviets.

The Soviets created a strategy for maintaining Asians while controlling Moscow.

The Soviet Union was founded in December 1922 when the Russian SFSR which formed during the Russian Revolution of 1917 and became known as victorious in the ensuing Russian Civil War.

According to Goldman means of morality was that of religion; which denounce anything against the normality in the society. The denouncing of birth control by Goldman was a relation to women’s rights and was seen as negative.

Goldman shows comparison of how the prostitute is mistreated by law and society with that of a married woman whom are barred to child birth with absolutely no say in the matter.

Society in her view is having no rules, no regulations and human beings being carefree and themselves.

Women will be looked down upon as having a child out of wedlock.

Another circumstance is having a woman involved in a relationship where she is not in love with the man, but is forced to have sex yet resulting in children born to an unhappy couple or the woman that continuously having children due to not having the option birth control available. This creates an unstable environment for the child. These situations should not neglect the responsibility of female’s being responsible when having sex, but it does lead to Goldman’s point of having an option to sexual contraception and abortion if needed. Humans are naturally sexual beings. Taking away a natural process is neglecting behavior of human nature.

For example, some people believe that abortion should not be legal, gay marriage should not be legalized because marriage should be between a man and woman and the word God should not be spoken in schools.

Her personal and political views went against many of society’s social norms.

The prostitute becomes a victim because of freely and sexual desires and soon becomes marginalized and mistreated by law and society.

The fascist theory believes in a totalitarianism type of administrative system.

He lets them has no consideration for their own ideas.

A unified nation is in my opinion, a nation that if for the general will of if people and not against it.

The general will of the people should always have majority.

In other words the will of the state is a representation of each individual whom is a part of that state and the desires of the individual person is non-existent because the state is above the individual.

Confucius believed a leader to be benevolent and virtuous two things that were neither part of Mussolini’s character.

On the other hand, to deem the moral issue of subordinating the rights of the people for the will of the state is right isn’t well represented by any facts.

Women were sheltered from the world unable to have their own experiences, having their lives stripped of any activities that would cause intellectual stimulation.

Wells-Barnett primarily focused on women’s equality and racial equality issues and she pushed the two defunct issues as far as she could.

Well’s Barnett was an active women’s rights advocate and she was a fighter against universal suffrage.

There was many times where Wells-Barnett endured racial experiences while pushing for her equality as an African-American woman.

Emma Goldman was positioned that women’s characteristics and beliefs mount them into who they are.

She not only focused on birth control, but on seal freedom for women in general.

Karl Marx and Frederick Engels, scholars of the 18th century, believe that capitalism should be abolished and replaced with socialism leading to communism.

Women of all ethnic and culture groups, although different, some had a similar interest in the idea of women rights.

Her actions considered her as the “rebellious one” to society because her freedom of speech and expression.

Emma Goldman played a vital role in womens rights with her beliefs of birth control, although during the 1800’s it was prohibited to distribute birth control information, Goldman did otherwise.

Because the mother is unfit, she is now intent with burden, the responsibility to take care of a child, the responsibility to provide for her family, and the responsibility to please her husband; because it was only moral to have children when married. She fought that women should have the right to decide on the right of the child not to be born and that women bodies where to be freed from the restraint of the government.

Goldman means of morality was that it masked itself as the concept of religion, which prohibited anything against the norm; which in relation to women rights refuses the idea of Emma Goldman as well as birth control.

In order for women to liberate themselves they need freedom however unlike Goldman Beauvoir didn’t encourage freedom from morality, but inferiority.

Women of this time were expected to marry, bare children, and be happy.

In essence, “morality” is simple because one must understand that right and wrong was decided by someone who beliefs were not the same as another.

If many of African American activists such as Martian Luther King, Rosa Parks, and Ella Baker did not go unquestionable lengths to fight for their rights and equality, today’s society would not be in existence, and the African American community would still be fighting for equal rights.

The goods and services are sold for far more than the price of wages which ideally allows the socialist class to remain on top of the working class.

The advantage of the bourgeoisie is the production of machinery. As the machine industry increases the value of the worker decreases, cause less of a need for the proletariat.

The SkhM-48 (a vertical spindle machine) was produced in 1949 and brought satisfaction to the cotton growing industry.

The most prevalent problem in Soviet Central Asia is poverty due to the connection with Russia, the countries of Central Asia are not able to compete with that of the Russians and the tactics used to ensure that no country oversteps them and becomes better than them.

In her book The Female Eunuch she describes how the traditional, suburban nuclear family oppresses woman sexuality, which devitalizes them while also rendering their eunuchs.

She used much humor, obscure language, and confidence in her writings.

Frantz Fanon, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr. and Eric Williams all had similar and different views when it came to African American and Third World people culture identities.

The struggles of the English language are that language is very potent.

The English language was created from that of an older Englishman.

He too felt as though language should express clear, meaningful, powerful and sent.

However, in today’s society is hard to determine if one ideal from the aforementioned men.

He left the NOI and assassination attempts were sent for Malcolm after he denounced the organization and Elijah Muhammed.

Bogues sees the position that James and DuBois makes in line with the justifications of Marxism thus making the collaboration between the two.

In the development of radical black political thought James and DuBois in a historiography sense was important and contributed to their approach being a success.

Knowing one’s history gives an entitlement into where you come from and by what means did your ancestors achieve in living.

In his time George Orwell was a writer whom was very aware of the importance that language had in the political realm, both as a medium and a tool.

One may wonder what Nozick response would be to, if a greedy man were to make a choice to steal from a just man, and in his outcome rich, is that just?

Though women struggle to be equivalent to the man, women have the opportunity to prove their selves similar.

Lynching’s, church burnings, and tar and feathering are just a few of the scare tactics that white supremacist is in Southern Post-Antebellum United States used to keep African-Americans from exercising and fighting for their political and social rights.

Laws such as “Thou Shall not kill, “or “Thou Shall not steal,” are moral laws that protect people from extremely liberal people who may believe they can go throughout life without restrictions.

He popularized the use of the English language in a writings.

During Mary Wollstonecraft time period she based her philosophy on the benefits of white woman and black woman at that time was just looked at as a child barrier.

She in many ways saw prostitution as a form of legalized prostitution.

Well’s Barnett was an active women’s rights advocate and she was a fighter against universal suffrage.

People just can’t experience the full effect of engaging in politics without paying attention to every political thinker.

The citizens want a new ruler and do not agree with his way of governing.

Most people do not realize, leaders such as Mussolini, Hitler, and Stalin were good men their tactics were just a bit extreme.

Not every state needs to always be violent or use their tunnel vision when building a sound political order.

This is in line with the Christian undertones that already consume our current political order.

In his time George Orwell was a writer whom was very aware of the importance that language had in the political realm, both as a medium and as a tool.

In the 1930s to reach out was the communist party.

Mussolini started out as a socialist. During World War one he becomes an anti-social.

The emphasis of national will is infusing in fascism thus making it a good path of a political order.

It is possible that in grouping black theorists together, each theorist can distort on what the other has to say because views can be so different that those seeking help can be misguided or confused.

In the North, Malcolm X approved for serration at one part in his life until converting to a religious faith of Islam.

The United States in in an error of redevelopment and vulnerability.

Political theorist has been around for many centuries, but African-american political theorist did not come around till a few centuries later.

 

Marley’s exploitation of oppression and poverty gave many blacks consciousness on the importance of standing up for one’s right.

In working the worker feels minus than human and only feels human when he or she is doing those things which are basic to all animal life.

Mussolini had Italy within his grasp between the 1920s and 1940s and emerged after Italy’s “The Risorgimento” also known as the resurrection.

Furthermore, both men where of either the black or white race.

Freedom is overrated and is no government has yet to fully achieve freedom, even in a democracy there are a number of people who aren’t represented which in turn does not equate to freedom for all.

Burke explains that human nature similar to Thomas Hobbes.

Religions throughout Soviet Central Asia are very widespread and practiced on a large scale yet they rival one another.

Kazakh planned to develop new functions, revise language amongst the urban, and attain new bilingualism to heighten their status above that of the Russians.

Post-Soviet Central Asia is the decedent of the former Soviet Union.

Since independence in 1991, Central Asia has suffered a lot of trajectory events.

we did not ask for change but still it came

with waving banner and in angry shout

for then our people showed not calm nor tame

but like a flood after long years of drought

that was the moment when the word was rage

that marked the turning of the ancient page

when cities smouldered and when fields were burned

governors fled and parliaments adjourned

in such a time the truth must come in play

the sacred hour of those who once were spurned

who come from darkness into proper day


no one expects the world will stay the same

nor that the light will once again go out

now that all eyes have seen its cheery flame

and minds have been resolved from fear and doubt

by understanding of the proper wage

now to be gained and nothing will assuage

the incensed feelings of the hearts that turned

truly to freedom as the wild waves churned

on the bright shore and we saw the array

of those once vanished who had now returned

who come from darkness into proper day


the story now is not a silly game

nor is it simply nonsense that we spout

about the ending of all hate and shame

now that the old injustice is thrown out

and a new order walks upon the stage

when ordinary folk may shape the age

a better land may some day be discerned

where each achieves the honest pay they earned

and plain respect when their dark hair turns grey

both simple things as far as we're concerned

who come from darkness into proper day


prince we apologise you were interned

your titles stripped and your petitions spurned

your words ignored and servants gone away

but we are with some other things concerned

who come from darkness into proper day

fledgist: Me in a yellow shirt. (Default)

the masks are worn but still remain as true

as in the early day but when we move

beyond the instant second then the groove

has changed and there's no power to renew

what was ill-made by any human view

the which we have no right to disapprove

rather to wait as others would remove

our final hope with the bright morning dew

behind each mask no ordinary face

but visage bearing some immortal sign

come down to us from the ancestral race

as sign and symbol of a truth divine

for who we are and for the paths we tread

the times are clear and the meanings dread

fledgist: Me in a yellow shirt. (Default)

now there's full green and truly honest leaf

on both our maples so we say the spring

has really come and hearts may duly sing

of happy changes and complete relief

for though we know that every joy is brief

and what hard messages each day may bring

for this short time at least some bells should ring

allowing us forgetfulness of grief

what we each know is not all that is known

beneath the sun of that at least i'm sure

there's more to life than simple blood and bone

nor is the world one giant ghastly tomb

for see the rose and iris are in bloom

fledgist: Me in a yellow shirt. (Default)

so many long to have a golden king

for certainties amid the roil and noise

and yet won't listen when the sweet doves sing

 

in urgent times  there is nothing to bring

that will secure against what most annoys

so many long to have a golden king

 

as being for now the most important thing

to guarantee the safety of their joys

and yet won't listen when the sweet doves sing

 

of better hours when they were on the wing

and deadly forces were not kept as toys

so many long to have a golden king

 

who do not wish their liberty to fling

so cavalierly with such little poise

and yet won't listen when the sweet doves sing

 

since all the world is trapped inside one ring

and none can tell just what the rest enjoys

so many long to have a golden king

and yet won't listen when the sweet doves sing

few are the leaves and buds late on these trees

that heart grows weak and even time might ail

as weathers slowly change while the clouds sail

above our heads driven by random breeze

towards the east nothing that wants to please

our needy minds as this brief cold must fail

the warmth return before our hopes turn stale

and just in time our anger turn to ease

but in the night some matters are too deep

for ordinary dreams and break my rest

to let me know that there is no mistake

relief shall not be granted by kind sleep

the warmth of bed is not a comfy nest

but there are worse fates than coming awake

fledgist: Me in a yellow shirt. (Default)

we cycle round and mark another year

when spring has come and buds are on the tree

the skies are light and pollen's in the air

 

what started in my heart as just a dare

(a challenge against fate) has come to be

we cycle round and mark another year

 

with greater hope and more reasons for care

as darker odours join the potpourri

the skies are light and pollen's in the air

 

but time's a gift that we don't have to spare

nor is good chance coming upon the sea

we cycle round and mark another year

 

by blending vacant smile and distant stare

with swift refusal of the things we see

the skies are light and pollen's in the air

 

those are the givens and all else is smear

upon the screen of life we cannot flee

we cycle round and mark another year

the skies are light and pollen's in the air

the echoes never cease in time

so we are stuck on the cliff face

losers without redeeming grace

  

those farts that in primordial slime

began old evolution's race

(the echoes never cease in time)

  

now seem to us divine sublime

but were just stinks in some dark place

far from the light or so we trace

the echoes never cease in time
fledgist: Me in a yellow shirt. (Default)

so much is wanted but what we must ask

is for the measure that cannot be told

by ordinary creatures at their task

of making worlds to fit the human mould

beyond the which we could not be consoled

but asked for pity and received no share

of what was paid except this empty air

so turning we discerned no further bar

to our escaping save a simple stair

the crescent mirror and the morning star

 

you give a good account behind your mask

of where the trail was good and where just cold

no warmth remains except within the flask

nor any honour that's not paid with gold

right on the table where the hearts are sold

while every victim hears the case is fair

and yet the axe does not strike unaware

there's no part of the process that's bizarre

while far above our unbowed heads there stare

the crescent mirror and the morning star

 

in balmier times we might hope to bask

in the approval of the good and bold

enjoy the plaudits while we broach the cask

and wonder why a single voice would scold

instead the angry lessons are unrolled

as every back is loaded down with care

nor is there chance of freedom anywhere

that foolish interlopers hope to mar

beyond the chances of the normal player

the crescent mirror and the morning star

 

prince in the end you won't respond to prayer

as no petition has the sort of flair

to touch the souls of palace and bazaar

yet you must go to where the boldest dare

the crescent mirror and the morning star

fledgist: Me in a yellow shirt. (Default)

the southern aspect of a season's tale

when clouds have parted and the days advance

with kinder sunlight into springs expanse

just at the point where hearts might seek to fail

is our new vantage right here we inhale

both air and sound the enemies of chance

encourage hearts to feel the hope of dance

and with a new enlightenment to sail

good airs inspire the lungs and cause the feet

to find their rhythm with the season’s change

in a new blend that came from over sea

a deeper wiser measure of the street

bringing homeward what was once so strange

to make us in the end a bit more free

fledgist: Me in a yellow shirt. (Default)

dull red and heavy is the morning sky

the storm is coming  so we are afraid

while time is wasting yet to make the grade

 

the air's unmoving birds refuse to fly

there is no hope that the great storm's delayed

dull red and heavy is the morning sky

 

no better world is showing to the eye

what's been released we hope will not degrade

beneath the coming rain yet we're dismayed

dull red and heavy is the morning sky

fledgist: Me in a yellow shirt. (Default)

we're faced with everything but honest grief

hard lies are shouted in the open street

and pleasant words recited in retreat

 

by both the kind physician and the thief

until we think the harsh venom is sweet

we're faced with everything but honest grief

 

so we resile still there's no real relief

for either broken hearts or weary feet

since life itself turns out to be a cheat

we're faced with everything but honest grief
