Poem of H㋡pe
MY GOD WILL MAKE A WAY – Lydia Preston
Society seems in a mess
Mothers cry, while Fathers stress
to be polite is a disgrace
as children mock you to your face
Every day the papers show
that crime and rape did upward go
the things done in laboratories
are stashed away in lavatories
Drugs and sex aren’t hard to find
it seems as if the world’s gone blind
for what the people fail to see
is messing up society
As Dads no longer head their home
and kids all sit, and chat by phone
what once to all has been a home
is looking like a war torn zone
No longer do you find that kids
are playing in the park
for it’s become a hideout place
for gangsters after dark
what once was right now seems so wrong
no more joy and no more song
as what this all was meant to be
lies buried in a cemetery
By telling you these things my aim
is not to make you mad
it’s just to tell another truth
which soon will make you glad
Amidst the chaos of this world
of hurt, despair and pain
and hate along with treachery
all done for selfish gain
There’s this one thing I know of
believe with all my heart
that when I bend my knees to pray
my God will make a way

Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe.

“We must rapidly begin the shift from a “thing-oriented” society to a “person-oriented” society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered.”
― Martin Luther King Jr.
NBC talks about FACEBook
Interview with FM (FreeMice) Radio Station:
Q: Humans today are so addicted to social media particularly the FACEBook. What is your definition of FACEBook?
A: FACEBook is Find A Cat Emergency Book….hehe just kidding! The correct definition is Filling A Common Emptiness Book.
Q: Why do you say filling a common emptiness?
A: Yes, let’s call it the Emptiness Tank or short, E-Tank. FACEBook has become a filler for these humans.
Q: What kind of stuff do humans fill in their E-tanks?
A: Humans can be rather kooky. Based on my ‘catscan’ reading, humans who are addicted to FACEBook are usually the lonely and the bored ones. Below are a few cat-egories of the kind of stuff humans put into their E-tanks:
Cat. 01 : The Foodsie
This human will record and photograph every meal in fancy restaurants and ensure the photos are posted in real-time. Gee…I thought humans should say grace before meals. Guess I was wrong. This type of human is confused between FACEBook and FOODBook and they are commonly found in Asian countries.
Cat. 02: The Super chef
This human says ‘In case you don’t know, I can cook like a celebrity chef.’ See what I’ve cooked for my family – breakfast, lunch, tea, dinner and supper……zzzzZZZZ.
Cat. 03: The Flashy Human
“Well friends, look how successful, happy and purrrrrfect my life is.” My human refers to this type of human as the modest narcissist. Everything said and posted on FACEBook will always be I, Me and Myself.
Cat. 04: The Love Professor
Human who constantly professes love for spouse/partner on each other’s walls – “I’m so blessed to have the BEST and most caring husband in the world.” “My wife is so beautiful and she can cook too!” Seriously, do you need to plaster your relationship on the wall?
Cat. 05: The Moaner
The human who complains about everything. You’ll probably see a posting that goes like “Oh…I’m so sad. I woke up this morning and I saw a big pimple on my nose.” What a pathetic way to seek attention!
Q: So, I guess you are not a FACEBook fan?
A: Yeah, too many FACEBook users have become FACEBrags. It used to be fun just sharing and connecting with friends. My human is no longer an active user on FACEBook. Probably because she’s overwhelmed with the floods of information about anything and everything.
Q: There are many humans out there who still love FACEBook. Do you think humans will respond negatively to what you’ve said about FACEBook?
A: Well, humans are entitled to their own opinion, no matter how oblique they are. We cats are really not bothered by how humans perceive us. Besides, cats are independent and meticulous observers.
Q: What else do you want to say to humans about FACEBook?
A: Just remember these 5 things:
1. Not everything needs to be recorded and not everything needs to be photographed and posted on FACEBook or anywhere else.
2. Before you post anything, please ask yourself, is this interesting, informative or amusing?
3. Get rid of the fear of missing out.
4. The more FACEBook time, the less FACETime (real-life time) and it’s a reminder to step back and re-think your priorities.
5. Keep some of your personal life…you know, personal!
