A Trio of Hedgehogs

Mickey Jumping - Mitro

A telltale sign at midnight
a cat in the old garage
tiptoeing so no one hears him
settling down among the old cars
a bothersome noise is beckoning
perhaps it is better ignored
but cats are by nature curious
and this was far too weird not to explore
so he crept up on the old  ladder
the one with all the paint splats
and looked down to the very end where he saw movement
he thought perhaps another strange cat
and indeed he was right, it was one
well no, not another cat
but a trio of little baby hedgehogs
and there they just waited and sat
so he crept down to get better acquainted
and was thrilled from his head to his toes
when the babies looked up and then cuddled
around the big cat, erasing all woes

Look Not to Past Writings to Move Towards Peace

I myself am always moving forward, so I never look to past writings to move forward.
That is not logical, a contradiction in terms, to study and replicate the past to move forward.
I believe that the moving of our civilization to one of peace, lyes in not doing things as they always have been done, but by looking to new ways of changing how things have been done.
 Always always moving to more love more kindness and more tolerance.
 The Bible was written over 3500 years ago, over a period of 1400 to 1800 years by more than 40 different authors Many of the Psalms were written by King David during his reign over Israel.
When was the bible written?
How much damage has been done by incorrect interpretations of what is supposed to be God's word?
Any written sentence is open to thousands of interpretations just as this blog is open to thousands of interpretations.
What I mean by this blog is to always look to good. 
To say what is the kindest action that can be taken in any given situation.
 To always look to kindness.
 If you go into the Bible and see judgement and condemnation, be assured this is not the word of the God.
 This is a man putting himself in God's shoes, thinking how he would react if he was God, and then writing it down as if God had said it.
God is not revenge seeking. 
God is not punishing. 
God is not judgmental. 
God is not condemning.
God is ultimate compassion. 

- Mitro

God is ultimate love. 
God is ultimate forgiveness.
In other words God is everything that is good and if someone tells you God wants bad for you, do yourself a favor, don't believe them.
There is much good in the Bible that is written by those that have truly seen the light.
 The light of absolute love, absolute compassion and absolute kindness.
And when I think about it what interpretation rings true to me?
 Rings with the possibility of world peace?
The version that says all is love.
Or the version that says we must condemn punish, enslave and seek revenge for that which is different than us?
I know for me, I want the all love version

The Dance that is Africa

In a tiny hut in Africa
we pause before the window 
to look into the night
moonbeams dance around the heavens
then to our delight
they dance upon our nightgowns
encouraging us to vow peace
the wind whispers
we are ephemeral
the wind sings
we are creation
the wind knows
we are mother earth
we are the stars
we are the dance
that is Africa

Two Little Cats in Tahiti

Two little cats in Tahiti
each wearing grass hula hu skirts
one was named Micky another Moo Moo
they were afraid of getting dirty in dirt
they liked to be clean and were pristine
in manner and in all forms of dress
so the little grass hula skirts they now wore
were far from their normal best
they swayed and they sang with the music
it made them really quite gay
they hoped they looked well to the others
and they said for this day they will say
no more worry about dirt and appearance
they would just enjoy being carefree and give way
to the frog and the monkey who asked to cut in
and enjoy this most fun of all day
so our boys said to the cut sure in a moment
not resenting the dust and the noise
of the dance of the frog and the monkey
who could ever begrudge the two such a joy
the joy of a dance without reason
except for the joy of the fun
of the dance and the moon in Tahiti
and a night they were so glad had come
to forget how they looked to others
and to focus on just having fun
so remember to have fun in your life and to sway when the musics around
and not be afraid of getting a little dirty
cause sometimes getting a little dirty
is essential to having good clean fun

Marriage

Marriage - Mitro

The King and Queen have invited you
to their upcoming marriage today
the groom is happy
the bride not so much
and hopes she's not giving it away
we all grow up and think we want
to marry, that will be so cool
but sometimes fairy tales go wrong
it's not what we learned of in school
we must be careful who we wed
sometimes someone seems so good
but boy when that someone is not who we thought
 all the goodness in marriage goes south soon
so just make sure before you wed
you found the right girl or guy
the one you pick, always, all the time
and the one who always picks you
