Violência Contra a Mulher – Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

” Se, em parte,eu não fosse exatamente o que escrevo, o meu trabalho não faria sentido nenhum. “

Para falar sobre violência, para “abraçar essa causa”, primeiramente, você precisa compreender tudo o que essas mulheres passam. A gente tem exemplos que se, você olhar de perto e, compreender o quanto é cruel o que elas vivem,  digo ” o horror ” vai ser solidário (a) ao sofrimento delas. Muitas, apesar da proteção que a lei lhes oferece, ainda mantém o silêncio por medo de sofrer uma violência maior que, é morrer. Aliás, grande parte delas, morrerem nas mãos de seus algozes e por motivo fútil. Então, trabalhar esse tema é uma forma de alertar essas vítimas e, dizer para elas que denunciem.
A denúncia é muito importante, por fazer a sociedade conhecer a face desse agressor e fazer com que, ele não fique impune.

Yassie & Cogito’s Blue Haiku Slam – yaskhan

Inspired by my poem ‘Figuring Out’ 

Figuring out 
What life means 
on my own 
I start with 
the flowers..
My verse is in roman and Cogito’s in italics 

N’er alone 
in the soil of love 
flora blooms 

inked 
swaying
in the blue blue sky 
blooms 

blue ink sways 
blues forget me not 
blue skies bloom 

blue spring ink
makes me forget 
all my blues 

blue ink spills 
true blue notes trilling 
blue bird trills 

cerulean spring 
little warblers 
take note 

a blue isle 
on a desert gulf 
oasis 

blue waterhole
on hourglass blue
spring oasis 

crystal bowl 
aquamarine sand 
blue bubbles 

cerulean collage 
sparkling dreamscape 
glossed blue 

crystal ball 
shimmering ripples 
aqua fish 

marine tinges 
twirling violet 
aqua leas 

aqua leas 
ultraviolet 
neon twinge 

asters shine 
sliver of Celtic blue 
blurple
Sterling star 
Daring aster risk 
Burple shine

Fluorescent 
Supernova 
Unconditional 

Blue nova 
incandescent hue
flora glows 

sapphire 
the stars and their light 
light years light

sapphire lights 
smoke ring from cigar 
UFO

color of smoke 
inhale exhale 
other from aether 

breathing words 
other from aether 
fill the void 

breathing deep 
aether speaks 
heavens streak 

blue yonder 
wild skywriter speaks 
heaven streaks 

ultramarine etched 
vignette drawn 
north winds roam 

morning dew 
aubergine flowers 
nightshade tears 

scented tears 
my pillow soaks 
nightshade glows 

in her mouth 
on her poet’s tongue 
words to come 

touché
taking the bull by its horns 
no more words 

I walk 
down the block 
haiku steps 

I gather 
my thoughts 
in haiku 

I’m so blue 
the sky and the sea
envy me 

blue is the blood 
that runs in my veins 
you turn it to ink 

bleeding ink 
her fountain gushing 
stains my fingers 

gushing fountain 
a quill 🪶 floats 
his inked fingers 

the massage 
is in her mirage 
wishing well 

toss a coin 
message in a wish 
shooting star

♫ Nights In White Satin ♫ (Redux) | Filosofa’s Word

I last played this one about two years ago, but I’m offering it tonight in honour of Moody Blues co-founder and band member Mike Pinder, who died yesterday at the age of 82.  

The poem at the end was recorded separately. It is called Late Lament and was written by their drummer, Graeme Edge. The poem was read by keyboard player Mike Pinder.

Respect For Women??? HAH!!! | Filosofa’s Word

Lately, women’s rights seem to have taken a few steps backward, starting with last year’s Supreme Court ruling in the Dobbs case that overturned Roe v Wade and set women’s rights back a half-century or more.  I don’t think the Court realized just how much that decision on their part would start a movement among women to fight for our rights.  It definitely had an effect on the 2022 mid-term elections, and from all indications will have a similar effect in the upcoming election.  But the abortion issue, while critically important, is only part of the way in which women are being pushed backward into the 19th century.  There seems to be a general sense of late that women just aren’t quite as … ‘worthy’ … as their male counterparts.  And there are people who genuinely seem to believe that women were put on this earth for two purposes:  to bear children, and to please men.  Reading yesterday that Harvey Weinstein’s rape conviction had been overturned infuriates me.  Just like Bill Cosby’s before him.  This is a mockery of justice!  It truly says that a man can use a woman in any way he sees fit, with or without her consent, and suffer no consequences.  Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr … 

See what Clay Jones of Claytoonz has to say on the topic …
