			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The mirror&#8217;s reflection emulates delusions of the devil&#8217;s obsession.</p>
<p>Deterring your judgment of your own shortcomings</p>
<p>without suspicion of first looking at what you yourself have become.</p>
<p>Causing a camouflaged plague of deception out to destroy the inspiration of your surroundings.</p>
<p>If you could only see yourself through the eyes of others,</p>
<p>your judgment of people would be a self-evaluation first!</p>
<p>Which would breakdown the delusional barriers that block your own judgment.</p>
<p>When this realization happens to shock your presence,</p>
<p>you will then understand the essence of your own reflection.</p>
<p>By seeing your true-self, you won&#8217;t be so quick to judge someone else!</p>
<p>Marcus DuBois Turner, 06&#8242;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>TWENTY ONE GUNS</p>
<p>the other day it occured to me</p>
<p>its a terrible price for liberty.</p>
<p>its the soldiers who died without a fear..</p>
<p>leaving their families to shed all the tears.</p>
<p>the family that stands at the burial site</p>
<p>the loved one they bury in the day&#8217;s fading light.</p>
<p>carried home by brothers whose spirits now sag</p>
<p>they carry that coffin&#8230;draped with a flag.</p>
<p>One last tribute for the freedoms he&#8217;s won</p>
<p>the playing of taps and twentyone guns.</p>
<p>they know it can happen and there may come a day..</p>
<p>the ultimate price for freedom&#8230;they&#8217;re willing to pay.</p>
<p>defending our freedoms&#8230;these brothers in arms</p>
<p>they come from the cities and come from the farms.</p>
<p>their vision is blurred and eyes full of tears</p>
<p>dying too young but wise for their years.</p>
<p>dont be sad for them..instead raise your voice</p>
<p>they knew of the cost and still made the choice.</p>
<p>one last tribute for the freedoms they&#8217;ve won</p>
<p>the playing of taps and twentyone guns.</p>
<p>a crisp salute to family at the end of their life</p>
<p>the presenting of a flag to a mother or wife.</p>
<p>the sounds of the mourners sobbing and standing around</p>
<p>they are given their final peace and placed in the ground.</p>
<p>one more hero sent up at the end of this day</p>
<p>cometh the angels to take him away.</p>
<p>they died with dignity&#8230;they did not die in vain,</p>
<p>i hope you understand..let me explain.</p>
<p>ONE FINAL TRIBUTE FOR THE FREEDOMS THEY&#8217;VE WON</p>
<p>THE PLAYING OF TAPS AND TWENTY ONE GUNS.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Above stood fire with wings<br />
Watchers with covered eyes<br />
Bodiless yet shame-shrouded<br />
Sent fleet across the sky</p>
<p>Glory and the smell of lightning<br />
And I, my mouth full of salt<br />
Gazing on the polished stone<br />
Of a silk-purple draped palace</p>
<p>Pleading at the threshold<br />
No heed for the crystal sphere<br />
Already emptied from pockets<br />
Stomach starving from fear</p>
<p>The already delivered cry<br />
“Lord have mercy on me!”<br />
A sound not heard from hell<br />
But a lonely heart’s mourning</p>
<p>Warmed by a breeze of breath<br />
Becoming known in knowing<br />
Commingled but never confused<br />
Many by grace one, yet many</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>my eyes search<br />
for honesty<br />
as i undress your<br />
lanky girlish quiver<br />
sprawled upon a perfect canvas<br />
revealing the contour of thin porcelain lies<br />
that you allow to crumble<br />
into shell, into tears, into ether.<br />
you rest unearthed<br />
no longer afraid of yourself -<br />
who you might become in my eyes,<br />
and deeply through locked pearls<br />
we search the diamond<br />
not to change<br />
never to destroy<br />
but to paint<br />
you<br />
as you are.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>MY VALENTINE<br />
Last night!<br />
When I saw you with twinkling eyes,<br />
You were singing with very inspiring voice,<br />
When I came close<br />
&amp; close and close<br />
Then I heard you,<br />
And lost in deep thoughts…<br />
You were praising, praising<br />
And praising &amp; praising<br />
I smiled with spark,<br />
&amp; holdup my heart,<br />
You were staring, staring<br />
&amp; staring and staring,<br />
I was breathing high,<br />
With much more sigh<br />
You led down with holding mine hand in you hand,<br />
I sighed and you said;<br />
“Would you be valentine of mine?”<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There’s a small place in my heart<br />
For my first love!<br />
You where lost to me<br />
When we were young<br />
And yet<br />
My feelings are as strong<br />
As on that day when we first met<br />
You’re the one<br />
I’ll never forget<br />
My first love<br />
With your love for life<br />
Your infectious smile<br />
Your cheeky grin<br />
Your deep blue eyes<br />
Your pure, pale skin<br />
Your golden hair<br />
Made my heart melt<br />
Whenever you were near,<br />
If only things had turned out right<br />
But the diagnosis meant you had a fight<br />
At so young an age<br />
Try as you might<br />
You were never meant to win<br />
Fate can be so very cruel<br />
But you’d flash that cheeky grin<br />
You pushed me away<br />
It hurt at the time<br />
Now I know it was for the best<br />
You didn’t want me<br />
To share in your test<br />
As I write these words I know<br />
If you were with me now<br />
The outcome may have not been the same<br />
But I know one thing that will never change<br />
Within my heart still burns your flame<br />
So rest in peace my dear first love<br />
Please know I bear no ill will<br />
Always know my first love<br />
I loved you then, I love you now<br />
And I know I always will</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I sit on the sofa, holding a mug<br />
Then there’s a nose under my elbow<br />
Of the dog that I love<br />
He pleads with sad eyes<br />
As he snuggles in tight<br />
So I give him a hug and<br />
Settle in for the night<br />
 My heart rate slows down<br />
As I stroke his coat<br />
Then I hear a deep sigh<br />
Coming from his throat<br />
At peace with ourselves<br />
As night it draws nigh<br />
Then his head it rests, on my thigh<br />
In for the duration,<br />
However long that may be<br />
Settled, comfortably enjoying<br />
 Each other’s company!</p>
