Restore Love by Speaking Out...

  
This moment, this writing is dedicated to all the children suffering, and will suffer, at the hands of those who are supposed to shower them with love. Adults passing down a tradition of lack of love and abuse themselves to the little ones in their care. Following are some of the reports of abuse repeated here as reminder of a confounded world that continues to evolve:
    
     An aunt burns a child’s toenail with scalding water after beating the child’s toes with a hammer. The aunt said the child would not stop asking for food and there was no food to give her. Imagine the innocent little one, experiencing gnawing hunger then she seeks solace in the only person she knows; only to be beaten with a hammer then scalded.  Can you really imagine?!

A child dies of asphyxiation.  Looking further, the report pointed out that the child’s mother fell asleep and the child, who slept with its mother, suffocated under the weight of the mother.  The mother had been drinking alcohol.  This was the third child that died in the woman’s home in the same fashion.  Children born seemingly to be sacrificed at the hand of their parents, and for what – the love of liquor, drugs, and / or idolization of another person?

A father slaps his son so hard; the three year old child loses two front teeth and does not gain consciousness after being knocked to the floor. The father states “He was talking back.”  He was talking back, he was talking back, he was talking back, back…

 The most incredible piece of news was the fact that all the children were younger than five years old. “What hatred and cruelty”, one officer, at one of the arrest scenes was quoted. This madness is beyond cruelty.  Children under the age of five; innocent, innocuous, and guiltless exposed to such madness by those who are supposed to shower them with love.

History tells of concentration camps and a nation given over to the curious exploratory physical experiments conducted by mad scientists, of nations crippled of mind and will through slavery, controlled by mad masters. Today we read of enemies linked by lineage
without obligation, without responsibility, and without love.
How horrible is this!? – Let’s Restore Love by speaking out against abusive behavior.

Measured Value

Our relationships are vital and precious. There is the adage, that no man is an island. With levels of truth to this statement, we should handle our relationships with great care; treasure them.

In the turmoil of todays' relationships, we actually see brothers against brothers, husbands against wives, fathers and mothers against sons and daughters, friends against one another. It does not have to be this way; no, not if you take steps to love one another.

Love must be learned -just as any other concept- as part of our cognitive decvelopment. We must practice the concepts of what it means to love, and to be loved. The evolution of our relationships depend on learning the concepts of loving and being loved. We cannot place our relationshps on automatic drive and expect value of them. We must be pro-active in developing that value. Is it not said that what we put in is what we gain from our efforts? Moreover, Jesus, the most profound man of history pointed out, "...the measure you use, will be measured to you..." (NIV Luke 6:38 and Mark 4:24).

At times, in any given relationship you are involved in, you will find that you move in opposite directions from the other person/s in the relationship. If no one makes the attempt to bridge these disconnects; you drift even further apart in the other direction.

To establish a bridge and reconnect can be as simple as a good night kiss to the forehead of your son or daughter, a touch to the cheek of your significant other as they leave the house, a phone call to a friend to say, "I miss you", a card, a letter, and if you're new or rather rusty at all this, send a text message to say "Hi". Any small effort will do; in this case, a little goes a long way. Start today to avoid becoming an island.

Dance, He Gives His Heart Freely

Dance, He Gives His Heart Freely
by MJCrusin

When he gives his heart so freely
from the balcony so high
Tired of the aloneness
Correlation with one whose
nigh
to
validate him
complete him
stamp his manhood
The ultimate test of his abilities to
do
have
keep
hold
know
respect
appreciate
enjoy
laugh
love
Tailored uniquely, just for him
and this is only when he gives his heart so freely.
he recognizes her
among the throng of masqueraders
dancing below him
before him
glistening
a sparkle
his eyes dazed
mind dazzled
heart stops
grinning
smiling, alpha attention.
Beyond Cupid
he recognizes desire
to catch the illumination
dancing before him
above the throngs of
masqueraders
and this only when he gives his heart
so freely.
No matter what he must do
equip to answer the call
of one crying out to him
she cries
honesty
happiness
joy
you
we
respect
protect
speak
comprehend
compassion
love
None between us
no matter the cause
I call you now
hear me
hold me
love me
tailored uniquely, just for
you
design exclusive
where are you?
breathless she calls.
Listening, frozen
he watches
she dances
without a masque
among the throng of masqueraders
radiant,
before him
dancing
wind whispers echoes of her cries
his ears capture only her
sound
among the throng of masqueraders
his heart
so long without one near
his mouth he speaks
Babylove, my dear
I kept my watch
knowing you were here
dancing among the throng of masqueraders
the distance
a life’s journey
mere seconds
to place your hand in mine.
But, this is only when a man gives his
heart so freely.
Dance, dance, dance, dance
cry for you are heard
whisper your desire
upon his ears
release your
heart on whispering winds
that kisses his ears
that you are here
that you are near
nigh
beneath his window
beyond the balcony
among the throng of masqueraders
dance ,dance, dance
for to you
he will give
his heart to
so freely.
Dance.
