I joined the surgical oncology department at Fox Chase Cancer Center in 1992 as director of surgical research. One of my proudest accomplishments is pioneering the use of sentinel lymph-node biopsy for breast cancer, which spares breast cancer patients unnecessary removal of lymph nodes. I also use this procedure for melanoma patients.
My specialty is surgical treatment of patients with colorectal cancer. At Fox Chase, we have been improving techniques by performing laparoscopy to remove colorectal cancer, which allows patients an earlier return home and less pain. Our colorectal cancer patients are managed by a multidisciplinary team of physicians. Our advanced surgical techniques minimize the need for permanent colostomies for patients with rectal cancer and offers nerve preservation. This results in improved quality of life after surgery for rectal cancer.
Fox Chase is dedicated to providing multispecialty management of patients with colorectal cancer and I enjoy being part of this team because what we do in surgery benefits our patients for the rest of their lives.
I am an active member of the editorial board for the Journal of Clinical Oncology. At Fox Chase, I also serve as the director of the fellowship program, which provides expert training to our new surgical oncologists.

Love and Tyranids
Love is an action - it's a verb - it's what you do. Not some fickle feeling that flickers in a thousand shades and is replaced each and every moment with a new one. It's not the nervousness, the infatuation, the giddiness, or the goose bumps, or even the total oneness of complete non-judgmental acceptance. What in the world does this have to do with 40k? Or Tyranids?
Well, last Friday a friend of mine got married. Not just anyone, but someone whose love for 40k and all it's supposed to represent changed the community narrative surrounding the game, and brought together warring gamer factions that had previously never really had a common ground. The NOVA Open brought together the 'hardcore gamer' and the 'hardcore painter'. An outsider would say this was more through force of will than anything else, but I know better. It was done out of love. Love of friendship, camaraderie, and the spirit of the game. It hasn't been easy, and at times it hasn't even been that fun. Hard choices, hard words, hard decisions, sacrifice and stubbornness have all had their time. But the purpose of bringing people together where they can enjoy each others' company, enjoy the game, and drink deeply of the rich creative culture of this amazing hobby has remained the rock-solid foundation. Altogether - every action, every argument, every sacrifice of time - has been about love. From a backyard barbecue to the Crystal City Hyatt, love has achieved a pretty amazing thing - and the best part is it's really just getting started. I have to say, I'm pretty intrigued to see where this marriage goes. I've seen firsthand what happens when Mike loves something. So for Mike and Britney - congratulations. Getting this far is an achievement, but it's really just getting started.
Tyranids is a bit harder to wrap (or is it warp?) in the love angle. Not sure what it is about slavering gribblies and razor sharp claws by the dozens and hundreds. Maybe it's a subtle form of mind control and I'm secretly beaconing out to the hive fleet. Whatever it is, I'll be bringing my nids to NOVA again. Trying to understand how the hell to build a list given the drunken Jenga game that GW has constructed is less than fun. After a few days with Battlescribe I ponied up for the Pro version (worthwhile cause right there). I'm not bringing a lictorshame or flyrant-filled list - I just don't have the models or time to start over. I have some plans to be mobile, flexible, and unfortunately squishy. I may even try out pyrovores, just because no one will expect them. But it'll be fun. Cuz I love my 'nids. And the game. And I'm thirsty for that rich, creative culture.

Goal Set: NOVA Open 2015
After a long hiatus of accomplishing nothing except adding to my unpainted plastic and metal collection it was time to move forward. Still busy as ever working to help troubled marriages, and that's still the priority, but I do need some me time too for sanity. Over this past year my me time consisted entirely of wasting time watching nothing worthwhile on TV and pining over my unpainted stash. I barely even read anything worthwhile. All in all, for the most part a wasted hobby year. My bright spot was getting away for a single day on a NOVA Open terrain build. Looking forward to more this year.
So - big step forward is of course, signing up for the NOVA Open 2015. I had a great time in 2013's narrative playing my nids as the Virtue. Naturally, I went for the big kahuna: the Narrative Warlord track for the Virtue. This is somewhere between a narrative campaign and an ETC-style team-based matchup with 10 games over four days. Now to figure out what to bring and get painting!

The Compass, The Clock, and A Terrible Codex
|How GW Sees Tyranid Players
No reason to sugar coat it: I pretty much can't stand the new Tyranid codex. Let's just forget all the wasted potential that it could have been, lest I get really bitter. The rules aren't worth the paper they're printed on and there's better fluff in the fanfic section of every 40k blog out there. It's also pretty clear dataslates aren't going to help. I've reserved judgment for as long as I can, but it's time to tell it like it is. Despite a pretty major event in my life that will occupy the lion's share of my spare time for the next couple years, I've managed to squeeze roughly 20 hours on Battlescribe on my mobile phone and tablet trying to build a list - any list - that would meet any of the following criteria: able to take and hold objectives, able to take and hold table quarters, able to win battle points, able to win KP, able to have a shot at the asymmetrical missions being bandied about, and the big one: is it fun to play? Add in another 10 hours of practice deployments and 1-2 turn tests - I can't come up with a list that I either enjoy or would consider competitive. The codex is absolutely hamstrung by the fact that synapse has no synergy within the codex - literally nothing with synapse works well with anything that needs it. I even tried several no-synapse lists which were even more painful. Double FOC helps a little, but that's generally not an option anywhere I would play. Killzone at least isn't an entirely lost cause...

Khurasan Miniatures 28mm Caiman Unboxing
I've wanted the APC from Aliens as a miniature for oh... since I first saw it when the movie came out. Although Khurasan's 28mm Caiman (also available in 15mm) is necessarily not a replica, it makes a fine replacement and more than stands on its own. I'd first seen the Caiman when they were released back in 2012, but they are nearly always sold out. They became available again just about Black Friday time this year and I ordered two, for my long-brewing Inquisition/Sisters/Arbites/Grey Knights collection. Here's a close look at my unboxing. Excellent sculpt, well-cast with only a few, normal issues commonly found with bigger resin casts.
Well wrapped and packaged.
Overall I'm extremely pleased with these. Now how to make these either Arbites or Inquisition rides...

Tyranid Codex Pre-Release Rant
With the information available to date, GW appears to pull off a rather petty dick move - removing the mycetic spore as a model altogether. With at least 4 different alternate model variants for sale from other companies, they just decided to remove that model altogether. Interesting choice to just willfully concede an opportunity for profit - tyranid players have come up with hundreds if not thousands of scratch-built variants of spore pods, and instead of capitalizing on it (literally) GW decides to give the other companies and the players the finger. How many scratch-built and alternate mycetic spore models will simply become 'tyranid terrain'? Stay classy, GW, stay classy. At least that removes a source of easy KPs in a codex that already has KP issues - but that only matters if you care about winning a game based on KPs.

Searching for an Inspiring Post & BfS Reflections
Hi all - looking for a little help here. The evening before I loaded up the car and headed to Battle for Salvation I was doing a fast pass through the 40k blogosphere and ran across one of those rare gems of an article that makes poring over endless blogs and forums worthwhile - true inspiration. Something that hit me to the core and really helped reset my compass firmly in a direction I am absolutely intent on pursuing, a sentiment that attending BfS helped to cement. Unfortunately - I didn't bookmark or save it, being in a hurry to finish packing and get some sort of list together for BfS. Googling for "hobby, waac, 40k, blog, tournament" really isn't working... so I'm hoping someone else who reads this may have read it and can point me in the right direction. Here's the gist of the post:
It opened describing a friend who avoided tournaments because he was afraid of the WAACs and pressure, of showing up without a well-painted army or display board, and in general not knowing either his list or the game rules. The author was going to a tournament (MichiganGT I think?) and the friend decided he'd just rather just hang out and watch instead of playing. Game day changed the friend's mindset though - once he saw what the atmosphere was actually like, realizing he should have played. This in turn led to a series of goals for the aspiring tournament player to be able to hobby up and play with swagger at that tournament next year. To dedicate the next year to one army - paint it to a high standard, complete with a good display board; to come up with a solid list and play that list as often as possible with only minor tweaks made from experience, not experimentation. To be in all ways ready, prepared, and confident. Hobby boxes checked, rules knowledge boxes checked, army list playtesting and tuning boxes checked. A most worthy roadmap.
So if you may have read that article or one you think might be it - I'd very much appreciate a link or pointer to the blog/author. I owe him at least a kind comment for kickstarting my hobby and 40k drive again. Motivation is where you find it.
That article wasn't the only thing though - there's also the matter of a little tournament called Battle for Salvation. At the last minute, after rains had basically wrecked family plans for soccer and other things, I secured the kitchen pass and was the last person to sign up online. In a frenzy that Thursday evening I scrabbled my things together, shoved models I could make at least a respectable list out of into carrying cases, printed out 6 power/spawn tracker sheets. Friday ticked by like slowly pulling a scab. Workday dues finally paid, I sped home, packed, loaded the car and left for the promised land of West Nyack. Huge thanks to the gents who at the last minute graciously allowed me to share their room and bring an air mattress to crash on.
A little background: Ed and the Battle for Salvation crew have been there for the NOVA Open since the beginning. I think 2013 was the first year they didn't need to bring terrain and tables down to help make NOVA a reality. To quote Ron White: "We've met". A better bunch of folks are hard to find. I've wanted to attend BfS for a long time - and had managed to build up some guilt for not doing so. Being able to attend and support BfS was immensely satisfying - karmic payback perhaps, especially knowing what goes into setting up and running a tournament, and knowing the secret to happiness as a TO/volunteer is the satisfaction of knowing other people had a good time - knowing your efforts weren't wasted. I had a great time, and it was awesome to see folks having a really good time - that BfS was truly the success Ed and the crew deserved for their efforts.
I went 2-4 on the weekend - not as good as I'd hoped, but better than I expected given the almost total lack of preparation. Definitely building up my list and rule familiarity and knowledge - and actually finishing 3 of 6 games due to time (shock). There were some absolutely stunning armies there - more motivation. I'll post up my list and batreps soon - ideally before the new codex drops! I'm building up a pretty big stack of battle reports from NOVA and BfS to put together. Life has as ever been crazy busy, but doing my best to refocus on the hobby I love. Thanks for reading!
For the TL;DR crowd - I read a great article I would very much like to find again but need help doing so (details above) and had a great time at Battle for Salvation. Put it on your list to attend next year - you wont' be sorry.

Applications for Proprietary Unix Becoming Extinct
Analyst George Weiss claims that no new applications will be developed exclusively for proprietary Unix after 2009.
Weiss made this statement at the annual Open Source Conference by market researchers, Gartner. "I expect that, around 2009, we will have seen the last application developed specifically for Unix, after which no applications will be developed just for that operating system, though updates to existing applications will continue for some time to come."
The Gartner analyst expects a slow decline in Unix on server systems, too. The reason for this is the continuing success of Linux worldwide. Integrated virtualization solutions, that make Linux systems interesting for applications beyond the Web, have speeded up the decline of Unix. It is still to be expected that the process will take awhile, after all Open Source proponents such as IBM still offer their own commercial Unix systems, but there will be no stopping the gradual squeeze out.

AC45 trials in winds gusting to 35kts - Anniversary day - Round Rangitoto Island
There were heavy conditions on the Hauraki Gulf on Monday and many of the city's boating community were out on the water for the Oceanbridge Anniversary Day Regatta, an annual tradition that dates back to 1840 - older than the America's Cup itself.
Given the opportunity to push the limits, the AC45 test crew put the boat through its paces in the strongest breeze to date.
'It was big breeze today – a good day for us,' said Matt Mason. 'We pressed the boat as hard as we have so a real good test for it.
'We put the bow in a couple of times at 30 knots and loaded everything up. We were on our toes the whole time and it was great for the boat and the crew to come out of it relatively unscathed.'
30/01/2011 - Auckland (NZL) - 34th America's Cup - AC45 sea trial n° 8 - Anniversary day - Round Rangitoto Island
The boat received some minor damage to the trailing edge of the wing in the first gybe of the day out of the Viaduct Harbour but nothing to get in the way of a 30-mile sail in up to 30 knots as the crew opted for a circumnavigation of the iconic Rangitoto Island.
Skipper Jimmy Spithill said sailing in 25-30 knots of wind speed was, 'a hell of a test for the boat. We were right on the edge.'
ACRM boat captain Troy Tindill was happy to see the shore support crew handle the craning out of the boat in 30 knots. 'It was good to know we can manage the boat at these upper limits.'

Stocks climbed Wednesday, but Internet companies and Whole Foods Market stock plunged.
Traders dropped Net-App, salesforce.com and other tech companies for a second day running, sending their stocks down 2 percent or more. Whole Foods sank 19 percent after cutting its profit forecast.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index gained 10.49 points, or 0.6 percent, to close at 1,878.21. The Dow climbed 117.52 points, or 0.7 percent, to 16,518.54.
The Nasdaq was the only major index to fall. It gave up 13.09 points, or 0.3 percent, to 4,067.67.
The S& P 500 index is within striking distance of its all-time closing high of 1,890 reached on April 2.
"Whenever you're near all-time highs you're going to see skittishness," said JJ Kinahan, chief strategist at TD Ameritrade. "In this market, the slightest news can change everything,"
Kinahan said that many investors are wondering whether the stock market is priced too high. The average stock trades at 16 times its earnings over the past year, according to S& P Capital IQ. That's slightly higher than the historical average. Some tech stocks, however, are valued much higher. Amazon's stock has lost 27 percent this year, but it's still trading at a lofty 465 times earnings.
High prices reflect expectations for higher earnings, and companies in the S& P 500 are on track to report that earnings increased 3 percent in the first quarter, according to S& P Capital IQ. The problem is, earnings growth is slowing down. In the previous quarter, earnings jumped nearly 8 percent.
And there are concerns about future profits. Of the companies that have provided forecasts for the second quarter, nearly nine out of 10 have warned of weaker earnings.
Whole Foods cut its profit outlook late Tuesday, saying it's facing increased competition as supermarkets, big-box stores and even online retailers step up their offerings of organic foods. It's the third time the grocery chain has reduced its profit forecast in the last six months. Whole Foods dropped $9.02, or 19 percent, to $38.93.
Among Internet stocks, NetApp, a data management and storage company, fell $1.28, or 4 percent, to $33.70 and salesforce.com lost $1.35, or 3 percent, to $50.43.
Just two of the eight sectors in the S& P 500 fell, information technology and consumer discretionary companies.
Gainers included utilities, which are by far the best-performing sector in the market so far this year, up 13.8 percent.

"Indian Accent"
Hear the whispers inside
Chanting from long ago
Echoes come and go
Losing time in a soft eternal glow
A beautiful and delicate autumn mountain scene
Dry blue eyes enchanting melodies!
Voices falling from the sky
Rising hymns release ancient demons that cling to the soul
The darkness dwells under gentle moonlight
Ancestors of the Spirit World,
Exposing Indian hands that weave native smoke into the air
Their spirits taunting burrows from the muddy Earth
Moccasin makers rise from underneath
Guardians of dream catchers
Smooth thread from the outer edge, bowing heads.
Luminous gems of ivory,
Chasing a florid kiss.
Through the winds of enchanted drums, voices cry out for rain.
The hollow chimes mesmerize
An ancient rage begins to flare
Stale madness,
The spears of the perfumed buffalo skin pierced my senses
Removing the veils that cover my eyes
The hands that cover my ears
Washing the scalp that bleeds on my face
They collect tears from memories of the past.
Raven silk braids, feathers fall from my hair.
Dancing in a horrid hallucination of Peyote,
Waking up from the "American Dream."
Holding out my arms, I am free, I can fly.

Poet Destroyer A
More great poems below...
Running through a wheat dream
Clear skies, worms and flies, my face cries
Surrounded by silver streams
I stumbled into a valley where sleepness never dies
A manger on fire, burning embryo of lies
no time for final good-bye's
Waking up alone in the middle of a field
Rain falls from the sky, to bless my soul
Above the silver lining of mirrored clouds
I lay a bouquet of flowers on your grave
Angered by the thought of my birth
Where has my salvation gone?
Rescued by the hand, of the one I can not see
Tormented in life's final step
Silent mistreated never understand
Arid of hate dooming everyday
Something evil ruins the last hold of my hand
My mouth hit by the door, when I pray
A ricochet shot when my life was revealed
Fallen in and out, after unwanted betrayal tounges
Alone with my reflection is where I stand
Broken Mirrors,
the only thing I see!
7 years of current bad luck.

You Are Not Invited
--Latching onto my soul without an invitation--
Elements around my shore expose more than air
--Playing with fire is not a game you will win--
Silently she swarms in like a leech,
Feeding and sucking from the wounds my pain left behind.
She came inside: "Uninvited!"
Here have a drink, and die!
Taste the water drips that sail across my lips
Plodding vigorously in the open air of her unwanted hostility
Forbidden as one, I noticed her aura a sickening light
Imprisonment that haunted smoke around her own imperfections
The hate and envy, she lives in resides airborne
The sound that she have summoned up hunger
Brought me near the edge of everything
Feel my pain, a touch of impurities
Tainted, infected, poisoned passion, her face disguised
Surrender toward serenity, the lighthearted woman I am inside
She will never take, my full eternal grace
It's time to reveal that blazing fire I hide
Drown her from the false flown sorrows of gust
Hold her hideous head under water--- burn her false fire out
Never will I turn my back and watch her muster them broken lids
Lungful of lies poisons the wind that flows from her snake like voice
Maneuvering the skies, scheming that snatch in
Like a viper twisting its unmatched curves,
I strike, like a pyromaniac --A burning match
Allowing her to taste a part of the air I breathe
A waste in the breeze her insecurities
Trying to destroy what she can't be, what she can't see
At the end, blustery weather will remind her of the sea inside me,
YOU! The Angel, who crawls around like a shadow
Gorging its way into the heart with a charm of greed
Twisting reality hoping nobody sees its true sick identity
Slandering my name as the master of evil and manipulative
Marking my territory, warning others of a cold draft
Grasping the beauty that glows from my soul
There it stood on the ledge UNINVITED
The devil walked and took my shoes
~Alice Sweet Alice~
*Like Sisters*
Everyday -- Holding Hands
Sunday Dress -- Pink Ribbons
*Alice And I*
How can they say she did not exist?
This Sweet Girl I Named Alice
The way she looks at me
-Her eyes tender green
A body figure I can't describe
Together we played hide and seek
We swung in ways no one could see
This girl with pretty red curls
Who enjoys the sound of pouring rain.
Together we slept under the same breeze
We carved our names on the same tree
Side by Side it Read Alice & I!
She whispered the day I fell off my bike
Alice Sweet Alice loves the way I look in red!
Every day I face the mirror
Alice puts her left hand on my right
We share the same identical scars,
Under the right and left palm.
The way she held my hand
Healed the scrapes in every fall
Beating from the bullies, she screams!
Again, Alice, whispers--- "Kill Them All!"
No one ever said a word,
When she stood by my side
Alice knew me in ways no one else did
She knew my eyes -When they cried!
Now I can't sleep,
Since, Alice has fallen back into the abyss
Forever conscious in a self-hug
--- this is no dream, it is real!
The rage inside, burns.
It took place the day she left!
Burning curtains
Empty mirrors
This Girl Named Alice spoke of darkness,
then disappeared
When I hear the sound of pouring rain
I stare at the shadows on the wall
Nothing feels the same,
I allow myself to soak in a darkness where it began.
My hair of red is not the same
These cuts are all that remain
The only clue in which Alice, was here!
Holding on to stainless blade, I sleep
Please call my name!
Why do they whisper?
Why are they saying she never held a breath?
I know she is real, she's exist
Why else would I let her cut my wrist?
This Sweet Girl
Finally, visits again ---
But, who is to believe?
For everyone says
Alice lives inside my head.
You lay upon the warm wet earth
now ripped from limb to limb.
Your present shape denies the girth
of your form in its prime.
A life cut short and denied its worth
about you ivy climbs,
my love for you evokes the hearth
a bonfire which knows no end time.
Now fallen, slain, cast for rebirth,
the core of you sublime,
an earthly stump, at forest skirt
reminds me of grand times.
Soon, I too will go beyond the earth
recalling passion's prime,
through the veil of life unearthed
my heart returned to thine.

Running through my mind,
Running through my veins,
A silica odor, dust walks through a fresh desert night
Cool air beneath and above the sea
A warm furnace smell, I don't understand
Intricate to rise and receive without knowing
Up ahead in a virtue distance
A mysterious poisonous effluvium light-
My face feels like a leaf'
My sun holds up its own pendulum rods
Inflammation comes and settles in for the night,
There it stands in a pertinacious manner, with quality
I resurrect this air created from madness, all over again
Twilight, rain stranger than strange
Visions, pursue my path into an infested dark pasture
"From the red Heaven I fell into the waters of a cobalt Hell"
Perhaps this venerable moment, will pass slower than slow
If I accept, and then decline
Would this balance the precocious state I live in?
How about when wrong directions follow my promiscuous ways
Is my conglomeration of ideas, no longer safe?
When I no longer value the values of the young
Will I sleep at the mercy of his ancient heart
They're the voices give and take from our health
Today, those soft, perfect eyes are calling from far away,
Ashes high, vapors and infection welding me
The bright skies swallow every thin silver line,
Where the clouds sit somehow~ in bacteria
YES UNITY! Fantabulously-fantastic!
Always, wanting more than love can touch
We are living' it up with no alibis!
A way to be and not to BE!
The champagne leaves their cup
Awaken in a life, disturbed ~ NOW INTERRUPT!
Only in this world, lava will reach her lips
Prisoners and doers;
All night…. Too late for a treatment
Lungs, decaying, evil rats
Direction, affection, ending all the inhalation
Running through my lungs,
Flat-lined my life ____/\ /\___ ___/\______/\___ _______________

~the Fear of Never~ A DRINK TO REMEMBER!
And the fire catches every time, my heart needs a sip
I bear no shame pouring, poisoned pabulum whisky down
Lost in a place with hungry whores, ink paying gigolos
This night a respected gentleman put's on his evening gown
He sits in front of a mic playing the same old sad song
Fitted out in drag, his wife has no clue
Holy breeders trying to change my shoes
Lingering from the Cute Chinaman, running his tab sky high
Bluebirds of jealousy, set round the vintage Barstool like fools
Minds overpowered and threaten to the very nub
I am drunk-- in his eye,
He receives a macabre confession of possessiveness
I am drunk-- in her eye,
She has a sick confession of subconsciousness
Broken loose from a negative, regressive state of mind
Sit and enjoy this broken bottle of champagne
Unspoken rage in every empty can left behind
A shot glass drops from my unstable hands longing to hold a pen
I look into a mirror and embrace every meaning of stability
Blotting out the madness behind a metal cage of reality
At times, I feel the need to bring down this masquerade
A drink so hostile, I can't even remember my image and name
Too many scars, from the foster of paper and pen
My dependents are drunken demons from a traumatized childhood
Tonight I will legislate a special thanks
Holding up my cup, until death finds my note
I will smile, at every Judge and Jury, during karaoke night
Shutting down my eyes, fantasizing everything's gonna be alright
I will not jilt knowing, writers block haunted my days away
Insecure hoarding monsters enjoying spoil forgotten words
Tonight I thirst like never before, my tongue inscribes around a tin cup
I am not eating up by it, no matter how long I've drowned in it
This is my kind of whisky, my thoughts, my days of ammo
To tell you the truth, I possess no desire to drink
It's all about the love of poetry and how sober, I become (WITHOUT)
The monsters that reside inside, have one thing to say
"Give me Poetry, or give me Death!"
by: PD
Dark Knight-tress
This gown I feel nothing
Silk less feelings
The odor of intimate apparel lessens
Vanity fare from any sun
Warrior of beauty
Where have you gone?
A fortress of gloom
Not even death wants in
Black nail tips
Brownish plum lips
I close my eyes
I see them all
The Shadows
Climbing over my soul
The darken deepens
The stars dim my view
Irremovable makeup
Land becomes an enemy
I become
The Dark Knight-tress
Scolding my next victim
You can't hurt me now,
I am no longer a victim of your demons.
Your demonic mind won't control me no more,
they have taken you away and I hope they lose the key.
The bruises and the broken bones have healed,
but the traumatic memories are difficult to conceal.
You tried to destroy me, made me feel alone,
I found no sanctuary, I thought no one could save me.
You took away my innocence, I was only a child,
nobody was there to hear my cries or to heal my pain.
You told me if I was to speak about your sickness,
you would kill me, but death would have been a better option.
You can't hurt me now,
they have taken you away and the darkness has gone.
Nobody was there to explain or show me the light,
but, finally I was saved, and now they all understand,
they don't judge me or laugh at me any more.
I'm ready to live my life now...
I hope you rot in hell!

Silent One
So many questions
Did you ask her in the mirror?
So abrupt to point the blame
but did you ask yourself why?
Bitter tongue with acerbity
led to words that cannot be erased
Nescient perverse stubbornness
Did it make you feel proud?
So quick to play the victim but
ignorantly obtuse to the pain that you caused
Your ego is out of control burning you inside
maybe have a conversation, before you become blind
Why did you cry your eyes out - when he died
especially when he didn't exist to you alive
Guilt, regret or crocodile tears - true emotions confused
In your grief why didn't you learn to forgive
still carrying painful memories like rotten fruit
In your tangled state of mind
everything you breed - will be a hateful seed
selfish greed is a demonic need - a vicious circle
Still a little girl lost in an adults body
seduced by the puppet master
who pulls at your heart strings
but can't you see - he is manipulating your vulnerabilities
like a paedophile grooming his innocent prey!
Maybe one day you will learn to listen
rid yourself of this curse of bitterness
You claim you are unique and different
the black sheep of the family
In reality your are a confused adolescent mortal
lost within the phenomenon of being immortal
One day you will crash right back into realism
sadly though the damage will be done - it will be too late!

Would I dare
to walk a mile in her shoes
To put my feet in cinder's slippers
marry a handsome prince
who turns out to be another Jafar
Would I dare to let the glass shards
of those tight slippers
slice open my heels till I bleed
Would I dare
to let dignity purse my lips tightly
and let pride silence the cry
Would I dare to own her brains
to taste mental yeast's bitter shame
Would I be the servant and cook
the tutor,cab driver,the warrior ,the lover
the whor* of an unfinished book
to be thanked by insults and be called out names
To be the one that He always blames
Would I dare feel the sweat of his fist
without being bruised nor being hit
Would I find Alice,call her a fool
Does she know ,there is no wonderland
if you live to the vow and play by the rule
What about God,His promised land
Does this hourglassed desert
ever feel the touch of His hand
Will She taste frosted manna
if She runs far away
Or would she challenge the bully
and have it her way
Does her dream ever leave the blues
Would he look in her eyes
Would He dare
to walk a mile in her shoes
Inspired by an past contest 'To walk a mile in her shoes'
International Women's Day is on the 8th of March
and unfortunately many brave women still suffer in silence.
This is a fiction poem but based on realities.
May all the women be treated for who they truly are
'The other half of men and mothers our children'.

Devils deadly dime
The sign said no grown-up at the playground.
Tripping on a penny, like a mime!
My hand is in my pocket with the dime I found.
Its all mine, I asked for the devils hand that time.
Echoes in my head, bounded by a screaming sound.
Paying for a forgotten crime,
on what comes around goes around.
A prison with greed that carries an evil musical chime.
Jumping off the merry-go-round!
Encouraged by the devil,
the pleasure of his deadly nursery rhyme.
Now the world is measured by my blood level.
The devils delight feasted on my youth before I hit my prime.
Bashing my mind, with thoughts implanted by evil.
Entering the day with no beauty to my sublime.
Begging him to remove this anvil!
He laughed while he cursed me with a favor for a favor.
A fallout so violently in this world not civil.
One can only lust on the taste that only he can savor.
Hanging out by the swings wounding me with prey,
on two victims to his delicious flavor.
I climb my way to teach a lesson in hate not love.
Two siblings who always scream for each other.
Giggling as I offered each a push and a shove.
Stopping they give each other a big hug.
Defeating and proving love is a stronger disease
The devil wicked eyes looking at me like a bug.
Clawing at my inner guts with remorse that he will win this war.
Until another day one skips the penny,
and begs a poor fool like the devil for his dime.
Tossing heads for his tail when times hits rock bottom.
I will stray away from his deadly reaction time.
He will not own my soul so freak'em,
and his greedy deadly beg of a dime.
~It's Out There~
Green colored field
A flower without the sun
Wilts from distrust
now washed away
by the man storm
Walls of silence hold,
Me prisoner,
The child held within,
Cries out for release.
Relative solitude comforts,
Not the tortured soul,
Inward coiling withdrawing,
Deep inside.
Shedding its outer skins,
Layer thus preserving its,
Inner being.
Innocents shroud lies in ruins.
Gentle spirit, cast aside wings,
Damaged appendages.
The fallen angel kneels in,
Shadows before mankind.
Unanswered prays rest upon,
Deaf ears.
Muted sobs, echo on stilled,
Winds breath.
Hardening to stone, the
Chilled heart
Reflects frozen repose.
Forgotten amongst mine own,
Childhood symbolizes a betrayed,
Victim's refuge.
Small fragile hands reach out,
Into nothingness,
Hollow space grasping into,
Chained shackles twist,
Imaginations warped view,
Somber tones cloud troubled,
Amidst life's trials, I'm aimlessly,
Without any form of stability.
I, alone remain shambles,
Displaced and damaged,
Beyond repair.
A broken doll thrown away,
By those who should have,
Cared for her the most.

Just like a child
I toss pebbles in the stream
Each pebble is a wish
Every ripple is my dream
I dream of running freely
my face against the wind
Hear it's million voices
and the cicadas sing.
I dream of climbing treetops
to a majestic world
a world of happy faces
where everyone 's a friend.
I dream of sharing cookies
with those we' ve made come poor
I dream to share hot milk
where we've created war.
Just like a child
I wait for falling raindrops
to cleanse away dry mud
Mud that turned in mountains
of an untraveled path.
Mud molding the borders
so innocent can't pass
Why do we refuse them
when they are one of us ?
Just like a child
I forget the bruises all over my knees
I dance into the moonlight
along with flowing leaves.
I return to my place
with a kite still soaring high
but cannot lay in my bed
while others sleep outside.
How can I be hopeful
when innocence 's not pure
When lonely tears are prescribed
treatments without cure
Just like a child
I toss pebbles in the stream
Each pebble is a wish
Every ripple is my dream .
Dedicated to the men, women , and children ,
leaving their countries, , their homes,
trying to find a safe place to stay, to escape war ,
yet still behind boarders .
P.S - When I say We , I mean it - For our countries, our politicians,
and our voices - We can do better.
In memory of----
Solely in my room, I can't stomach the sound of my heartbeat.
I sit here alone to forget the taste of air,
Overwhelmed by the scene -unbelievable footage
18 seconds too long, "I can't breathe."
My judgement is gone, stressing all night long
I use to fear dark colors, now I fear spinning bright lights
Red, White, and Blue, I spew the NY Police crew
What's wrong with your blue eyes?
You see him, you want to mess with him
What a day to trade -- a life for illegal cigarettes
Persecution and judgment day, a sweet life taken away
"I can't breathe", executed in broad daylight!
Bullies left and right
What happened to minding our business?
Moneymaking, refusing to be singled out
A hurting voice tackled by racism
Free to see, pouring his heavy heart,
Oinker's demand the ground, leaving out his testament
8 times too many, "I can't breathe!"
Where did his vitals go?
Can someone please pound the pavement!
Stress, anger, madness, the voices of the innocent
"I can't breathe." the volume of Valium
"Officer, did you not hear the man?"
Are you deaf, have you forgotten how to save a life?
Is it just the NYPD or is it every other badge,
Insinuating crime's a one-color show.
We are all criminals, why the excessive heat?
Shot, tasered, beat down, pepper sprayed, now on the ground
The choke hold of all choke holds, murdered and out numbered
The echoes remain "I can't breathe!"
- The truth!
Eric Garner robbed of his own natural path and youth
One man down eyed suspiciously
Perplexed minds suffocating him instantly
The mistrusted, the fear, the hate,
So tangible, uniforms using deadly force
One asthmatic in a choke hold
Slamming his head on the flooring
Open wounds, worldwide tears
My heart goes to the family and friends left behind
A courageous last breath, for the first and last time
"I can't breathe," now deceased.
You left this world unwilling, waking up a strong community
Strolling in a better world, where racism don't exist
"I can't breathe," Eric Garner Rest in peace!

Girl, Interrupted-
Deep cuts from within.
She faced bravely the many hardships of womanly life.
How did she end up here?
Severe depression after her first mental breakdown.
Sorrow oppressed what was left.
Now in the parallel universe,
Never aware of the world left behind.
She will catch a brief glimpse of this world where everything is different.
Losing the veil in which includes time,
Aging without caring death awaits!
Her different personality replaces reality.
Things appear normal in her the eye.
Although captivate in her own mind,
She feels this is freedom.
Being heavily burdened--
Every day she stares into different mirrors,
Smiling in her bipolar face.
Without knowing insanity put her mind at ease.

Her paintbrush is a razor,
Her canvas, her wrists,
"I deserve the pain."
She shrugs and insists.
One day the brush will push down,
And it will cut so deep,
That this girl will fall
into an eternal sleep.
She doesn't remember how she started
What brought her interest to this,
How do you discover,
that cutting is your form of bliss?
No one would have guessed that she does it.
No one would have considered this one.
This girl is forever fighting a battle,
that she thinks the demons have won.
Her artwork is all over her,
Her beauty is on her thighs,
and if you look in her old trash,
you'll find her letters of goodbye.
Her masterpiece is quite disturbing,
Her masterpiece is a little gory,
Her artwork is her escape.
Let me tell you her story.
She compares herself to every person,
She is compared to each girl.
She thinks she's hideous,
And there's this boy that is her world.
She was bullied and picked on,
She was teased from head to toe,
Hard to believe that her best friend,
was her one and only foe.
Then later she disliked every little thing,
Her body, face and even her mind,
Soon she saw she was a failure,
and it was just in due time...
That this girl couldn't take it anymore
She'd decided she was done living this,
So one day she went home
and decided to end it.
Everyday for multiple days,
This girl would try to drown,
Hard to believe this girl at school,
never ever wore a frown.
Sometimes she'd just fall asleep crying,
Praying that she'd be enough,
Because she didn't want to leave her family.
She knew about their sweet love.
This girl found hope in small things eventually,
She soon would see this beautiful light,
and find a REAL best friend,
that helped her put up a fight.
Her masterpiece soon was leaving,
Her artwork was almost faded,
and it gave her a sick feeling,
the feeling of being jaded.
She found a boy that actually loved her,
And showed her love exists,
And this boy too had a masterpiece,
placed close to his wrists.
He related to her and she related to him.
She kissed his artwork and said he's not alone,
When she cut herself it hurt him,
Her masterpiece now wasn't just her own.
Her masterpiece effected others,
Her artwork wasn't just for herself,
She now had people,
who saw her cries for help.
And then her family found out,
So then they saw the art too,
to them they were just scars,
To her they were the truth.
She's trying to be okay now,
She thinks she might survive,
Even though they didn't think
to take away the knives.

See what you want to see
Don't Look at me!
You are staring you are watching;
Eat what you can't be
Come sleep by my side
The whole world is our playground
Don't make a sound
Stop clowning around
In the mist of the night,
You keep me from crying
I wipe off the taste of your lips
You kiss me starting at my inner hips
You broke me in a way..
I hate to say your love is better every day
I deny you, the one thing I can't say
You are my pillow
Where I rest my legs,
Can you feel me~
This moment feels right
I just want to die here,
Die here ~
Die here by your side
I sleep with my eyes wide open,
I sleep with the enemy by my side
Come here and hold me
After you watched my worlds collide
Come here and love me
I'm yours till the end of time
You can rock me!
Under the moon and its rhyme
I put it all to a side, how I hate you inside
I can't let go
I just want you to know
I'm a fool in love with you
Even if it doesn't show!

I'm sitting on the floor
I'm crying so much more
trying to erase this pain
trying to forget your face
sitting here with the blade in my hand
running so slow blood dripping down
in a deep red color
flowing freely the way i want to feel
I'm sitting on the floor
holding my hand out
I'm holding a bottle
a bottle filled with pills
I'm crying so hard
the pain is unbearable
I'm feeling so weak
I'm sitting here on this floor
holding a blade
crying like crazy
trying to take this pain away
I'm trying my best trying to fight
my eyelids feel heavy
my door is so far
the whispered yells to far
falling deep in to sleep
I'm laying on a bed
I'm so confused
where am i?
my throat feels sore
my body screams in pain
I'm looking around
I'm in a small white room
i try to move,
my hands are stuck
i try to get up
i feel restraints
what happened to me?
I'm laying on a bed
trying to get up
my head hurts
a nurse is here
a shot is administered
i drift to sleep
I'm in the psych ward
why am i here?
I'm lying on a bed
laying so still
my wrists hurts to no end
I'm crying out loud
screaming and cussing
my body hurts
i can't remember
all i remember are my bloody wrists
and a bottle of pills
all i remember is the pain i was in.....

Toilet Bowl Committee (aka: Uptown Hood)
A lavatory confinement
If you want to moderate this place, pick up the pace
From the mouth down to the @$$
Your so called kind has no class,
Fed by these political rejects, never elected for what was!
No matter,
They wipe their assets clean with our dreams
Forgetting to wipe their own toilet seats clean
Trying to make us feel dirtier than scat
Feeding off our paper when their toilet bowl water level is low
Toilet bowl PO-poes, wiping without dental floss
Missing everything in between reality
Trying to be kind, saying "One Day We'll Be Good Enough!"
Offering their Golden Plunger,
straight from the Home Depot shelves
No Thank You! My plunger a true gift from Mr. Wal-Mart himself
Next time you feel the need to offer a reference point
Please caption your name when you drop by,
Rinse thoroughly when speaking my name,
Then I will listen when you talk civilized
Correct my punctuations and spelling errors
The weakest trait you wear
You are no Prophet, just white tissue turning brown
Your Justification comes from old dry grapes falling from the vines
Ridicule will never give you the respect, for what you are!
We, the few poets from the hood,
overpower any change you offer Goodwill
Crumbling and flushing what does not meet your standards
Trying hard to force feed us soup, without giving us bibs
Thank you
Toilet Bowl Committee
For clogging up my drain with your bull$h!T

My sweet little Teddy Bear...
Mommy gave 'YOU' to me
Now I never sleep alone at night
The comfort you gave, when God's sunny eyes ran out of light
You are my sweet little teddy bear...
You kept me company throughout the years
I hugged you, when my eyes were full of tears
Loving you, squeezing you
We both express many joyful dance of cheers
Together we sang lullabies, without you singing one single word
We drank from the same teacup, whispered about the pretty birds
Now listen, as I mumble extra words into your ear
My sweet Teddy Bear, you are always here
We snuggled every night staring at the star frame window
"You held my hand when I was lost in my own imaginary limbo
My sweet little Teddy Bear...
I'm 11 now, and my mother loves me dearly
Sadly, she felt it's time to find me a daddy
Little does she knows, my daddy visits every night in my dreams
Now her boyfriend visits my room and tells me not to scream
Little Teddy bear, I never showed you fear before I fell asleep
Little Teddy bear, tonight I do not want to count sheep
Teddy bear, now I hold you closer and tighter than before
Little Teddy Bear let me cover your ears, from the screeching door
Little Teddy Bear, he said he would hurt mommy If I tell anyone
Little Teddy Bear, I know you see and hear everything!!!
