Rangeela Re (O Joyous One)

This is the music video 1970 Bollywood film Prem Pujari that inspired this poem (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dl7MywgT0mc) you can find the english translation here: (http://www.hindilyrics.net/translation-Prem-Pujari/Rangeela-Re-Tere-Rang-Mein.html)
Amazingly beautiful is all I have to say about it. Couldn't help but be inspired to write after t...his song had become an earworm

Rangeela Re O My Joyous One
You have stained me
A Dye not easily washed away
O Joyous One Rangeela Re
Cold has warmed me for far too long
I built a fire and only I sit in front of it
You've taught me many joys
But your pain taught me more than the joys revealed
It was crazy but I learned never to love so easily
Never leave your guard down
Tears have become my bread and sorrow my butter
My cries my meat and my loneliness the rest of my nutrition
I couldn't fault you for it all, I had my part to lay

Rangeela Re I try to love that wall was built
No wrecking ball in sight
Though I'm a big guy, a child is locked inside
Wanting affection, attention often overlooked
Everyday I speak not to be forgotten
Intensely driving the ship of my life
My groomsuit stained with bitterness long gone
Scars that remain of taunts of old
Putting my similey face hiding the wounds of frowns
Eventually revealing themselves as pressure builds
Yet  I move on, living and learning, leaving and leaping

Rangeela Re, when have you stopped being so joyous?
And I despissed you for the longest time?
Bitter rainbows, sour kisses, dark sun and the moon that shines so bright?
Makes no sense to me no

Rangeela Re, it was only a time, a season
One that still sends shock waves through me
Sweet life has brought me lime flavored sweetness, bitter to my lips sweet to my stomach
I'm sure one day I will be complete enough to see my true Rangeela Re
And appreciate him for the gift he is and know that I am one
He will be for me and I for him
Both joyous ones
Puzzles fitting, somewhere out there
Heart be still, be still if you dare
It's not easy suffering the slings of outrageous fortune Rangeela Re
Come to me soon, my heart awaits you. yearning deeply
Wondering if you're out there
Someday I'll know why he never fit
Why he never worked
Why my fire was drenched with rushing torrents
Oh come my true one, Rangeela re

Conservative Family Values: All Fantasy, No Facts A Few Reasons

Image
Social conservatism has been nothing more than "Keep it the same because change is scary" Black men voting, women voting, Civil Rights for Black People, Mexicans being covered under the 14th Amendment, School integration, Same sex couples being married, no fault divorce, restaurants!  So let me get to the reasons Conservative Family Values are All Fantasy, No Facts  1. I t is a myth based on TV I enjoy retro TV, Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley, Andy Griffith, The Waltons, SOAP, but do we realize a few things...the casts are all white. There are no problems other than something many people relate to like going to a dance alone or in the case of the Waltons, they're dirt poor in the middle of the Depression. But the formula is: Married parents, kids and they always find a way to pull through with good ole American elbow grease.  The myth of the American meritocracy persists even today with people thinking that if they can think their way out of poverty with hard work. Hard ...

The Comments NOM Blog Is Likely To Take Down--or Not Approve

I looked at some of the comments posted at: http://www.nomblog.com/7366/ and I am sure that NOM Blog may not let such a well reasoned counterargument prevail on its board. I will check and see maybe tomorrow Let me address some things people are saying here: Homosexuality being a dead end lifestyle--BS! The stigma created by society on homosexuality is one of the most dangerous things that has been. When those wonderful children committed suicide, every bigot said it's because they 'embraced a deadly lifestyle' Horseshit! It's because of the simple fact that people made it harder for them to live their lives in an open fashion as they deserve Next, EQUAL UNDER THE LAW MEANS EXACTLY THAT! Those words are not hollow words without meaning and validity in court--that's why the AR Supreme Court struck down Act 1 Also, Anderson v. King County used circular reasoning in reaching the verdict. Reproduction--the fact is, older couples could be denied if m...

She published her findings in an 1892 pamphlet called South...
