Waking
Brick House
you can’t blow me down.
I’ve built these walls too high.
Goliath himself would have a hard time
with my tenacious fortitude.
Too many men
have tried to break me.
Too many have succeeded
Left seeded
in my chest a flower so violent even wasps
don’t get near.
For I am too sweet and they over feed.
I take everything
Leave nothing.
Just bugs to be squashed

LOGO TV: 1 girl 5 gays
When I first stumbled upon this show on LOGO, I swore it was just another show to attract more heterosexual females to the channel. It was not a bad thing, really. I believed enough people in society knew that sometimes women enjoy watching prancing drag queens, heart-wrenching gay romances and the occasional slasher movie. After watching an episode, I still was not certain because the show was...

Hands of the creator
I suspect this time, my fingers
have gone to far.
They reached inside, pulled
out something grotesque, mangled
dead.
But they became Frankenstein.
Brought life, rushed blood.
Like the monster it rose,
skin glowing with each subtle
jolt.
Now alive it throbbed.
So the fingers rushed to please

Therefore, for the big boss of this business to say this in public created an ideology...

(http://www.census.gov/newsroom/releases/archives/education/cb12-33.html). That must be a lot of ignored talent.

Employers that want the most engaged and...
I have always believed that people are more motivated, creative, engaged, and loyal when they feel as though their skills and contributions are valued and respected. These factors create a satisfying and fulfilling environment that is more likely to foster cooperation and teamwork — these are some of the elements that help companies meet (or exceed) their goals and objectives. Without these...
