Poem by Chuck Keys ... "One, Won, Once"

One ,Won, Once

By Chuck Keys



Brightness can be blinding

With your eyes closed

Or with your eyes open.



Darkness can be blinding

With your eyes closed

Or with your eyes open.



As a driveway needs a parked car,

Does color make a difference? Hurtfully

Yes. Yet, we're all the same.



Can a green pepper ever be red?

Or should the

Red pepper be yellow? Color again.



I can't stop hearing that surface beat.… Continue

We must make witness to the Gulf Oil Disaster

Hello everyone:
I have this driving thought in my mind: to go to the Gulf and see with my own eyes what is REALLY going on down there. An act of civil disobedience if necessary. I believe that we are daily being lied to through the teeth of the people who have perpetrated this ecological disaster. Someone from outside needs to bear witness to this unprecedented event, regardless of authority, if not for "We the People", then for the Earth herself.
Since I literally am…

Sunlit City Scribblings (Part 2)

Leaving the bunch hustled to get on the tricycle, I was plodding along as my head was turning a little dazzle. Breathing had become more difficulty and each puff had taken longer time. I wasn’t so sure whether it was the load I was humping or it was the impact of the altitude that start to get into me. Humping, yes, that’s the word for it, with the North Face backpack full load on my back and an HP 16 inch laptop in front, though the load wasn’t as heavy as the ones Tim…

Sunlit City Scribblings (Part 1)

“Which train you were on?” The young guy in baseball cap, sit aside of me, asked.

“The one from Shanghai,” I mumbled, “that damned 48 hours ride.”

“How come they arrived early today?” He grinned with sincerity, since I really can’t detect any mischief in his sunburned face.

“Guess Buddha sensed my piety to this pilgrimage to Lhasa, so he pushed the train a bit.” Tried my best to be funny under the circumstance, I was satisfied as he giggled…

Nonviolence and the Tao of Social Struggle

Holding to nonviolence in face of violent opposition is not the hardest part of engaging in Nonviolent Resistance. Once there is a will to take up nonviolent direct-action, training and group solidarity can solve the problem of remaining nonviolent in the face of provocation. The hardest part of Nonviolent Resistance is overcoming apathy, discouragement, and despair. The hardest part of Nonviolent Resistance is committing yourself to take action and resist.…

Just Another Lazy Man

“That’s the problem of servitude: when you domesticate a member of our species, you lower his productivity, and however little you give him, a barnyard ends up costing more than his worth. For this reason the colonists are forced to stop breaking him in halfway. The result: Neither man nor beast, but the ‘native.’ Beaten, underfed, sick and frightened, but only up to a certain point, yellow, black, or white he always has the same character traits-lazy, sly, and thieving, who lives on…

"Oneness"

Oneness                   Authored / Copyright by Chuck Keys

It had no color,

Lacking shape, size and dimension.

It wasn't moving or breathing.



There was neither aroma nor taste, not here or there.

Touching was useless because it wasn't physical.

It was indistinct and limitless.



Thinking multi-physically

Multi-sensually and multi-psychologically

It wasn't here or there and it…

New Documentary on Dr. King's Anti-War Speech "Beyond Viet Nam"

Hello, friends. On PBS here in the States, there will be a new documentary about Dr. King's 1967 anti-war speech "Beyond Vietnam" airing tommorow night (1 April). It's called MLK: A Call to Conscience. I am looking forward to watching! Perhaps we could have a discussion about it.

Hello Gandhi-King Community

I’d like to take this opportunity to introduce myself to the Gandhi-King Community.



I’ve always been interested in a plethora of subjects which I strive to keep well informed on in order to better my knowledge of the world, past and present. I am an analytical person who mulls over the tiniest of details, incorporating what I know from a wide variety of topics, using basic reasoning and logic to come to a conclusion.…
