Illuminates the Regal Cat on High Chair
All those who come Across
The Outspoken jungle Boss
Seem to unanimously agree
It is better to cheer than to Flee”

“I was born to soar
in the clear skies,
chosen by fate
to fight for a life
that is true. I was
born to roar, with
a sense for justice, and
eyes that penetrate
in a manner that is
powerful and intense.
I was born wanting more
than just what was handed
to me on the obvious plate.”

and you’ll begin to believe
i’ll shout this only today
i’m not what i seem”

Of my values system in clear view
Of what helps me to leave the ground,
Of the ideas that shape my mind and soul,
Of visions that manage to keep me whole.

As long as there is blood in my veins
And a heart beating within my chest
I will push forward with the knowledge
That I have done my absolute best.”

“if perceptions are an experiment,
then why do we always lament
that a fool unkindly proclaimed our visible flaws?
when did we start making these laws?

for whom do we play this act
and when did we introduce such a pact
are we so hopelessly vain
to see that we have nothing to gain

we are just bystanders to our own lives
our instincts urge us to take nosedives
into the dimensions of our inner bliss
where we do not have to hiss

we seem to be thoroughly convinced
that if we acted as ourselves, we would be minced
when did living the truth become so ugly
held prisoner by mental chains, our ego smugly

i shall not honor this unspoken code
i will not walk down the beaten road
you may ridicule me, you may even condemn
but you will not sew my hem!”

“Ignorance and Arrogance Thud
Manifesting a Labyrinth from a Flood
They are brothers, share the same Blood
It is from them that Apathy can Bud

Devil’s advocate rests in the Mud
Showing its assets like a Stud
Projection of right and wrong without Consent
These brothers never say a word they Meant”
― Aida Mandic, A Candid Aim

“Shout out to all my early Americans
– Irish, Italians, Jews, Natives, and Blacks
Despite your overwhelming Hardship, you kept going
Past all the barricades, your Blood Still flowing

Red, white, and blue, will not abandon our flag
History has been unkind, we carry it as a Bag
A painful reminder of the prejudice of Man
We have a ways to go, starting with the Ban
Of the Evil and Sadistic Ku Klux Klan”
