From an unaccustomed universe,
the remoteness of certain space,
an unknown quality dwells with us
that is feared to end our race.
Mysterious influences, extraordinary strengths,
hidden feelings that control how the mind thinks.
Impressing emotions, excited states,
respective realities that the stranger creates.
At a second look, an inward glance,
it's hard to see through all the fuss
that the unknown we fear has been within,
the stranger among us.


Sometimes we take things differently then as they were meant,
sometimes we do this because of our own experiences,
good, bad, or indifferent,

... mostly they are things we regret.

Oh, I liked this very much,  escpecially this~

At a second look, an inward glance,
it's hard to see through all the fuss
that the unknown we fear has been within,
the stranger among us.

I also liked your footnote at the end,
our reactions being caused by our own experiences, that are not that simple to separate... between the good, bad, and indifferent.

An insightful poem in it's own right, as well as in support of the ink~ and every poet among us.

It has been brought to my attention that a predetermined
amount of days was stated publicly to the members of PIP ....

   .... I must have missed that day.

    I believe it only to be human to stand for those we consider friends ....
    I am certain INKED would feel the same, on that note I would
    also believe she wouldn't want anyone
    else to find themselves under similar circumstances.

     PIP has heard us, now its SOULy up to them.

                Thank you Bboy and Lori!

She was given a sixty days suspension but I figure with time off for good behavior (as all hardened criminals get) she must be eligible for parole. Isnt it strange that because she upset the powers to be she is still banned. I have read other postings that were just as provacative but nothing has been done to prevent them from continuing to post. I guess if you are a buddy of some of the moderators you are immune. Just my opinion......

WAH! I missed the whole episode, so still have very little idea what you guys and gals are all talking about. I understand she said something that made someone really mad. I never saw/read it, so the only comment I can make is:
I miss Inked too! My oh my, what in the world did you do girl?
