Reach for Your Hand By:  J. M. Vera My hand searches for your fingertips, My eye looks for your curved hips, The sad clouds cry storms for me. Unknown caller ID… “He…”  “WAKE UP!”… Here comes the apocalypse…               The poem entitled  Reach for your Hand  is a limerick poem, and is the first ever attempt by Justin to try to tell a story in something so short. The purpose of this poem was mainly to entertain. The poem is basically a dream, where the persona is dreaming of someone he cannot find when… a unknown call comes in, as he is about to answer a loud shout wakes him up.

For as wars kill, as leaves rot, we too. Be knights in armor bent on chivalry.                The above poem was written by Justin Moses Vera. The title was inspired by the poem “Ars poetic...

I have left a link I find has some very strong coherent points. Read more   I, in my humble opinion, recommend the use of social media.  The smart use of social media!  Yes, there are negative notions that will always arise, in everything. Where there is light shadows will form. Yet, that does not stop us from diving into places that have more pros than con’s just because of the slight chance that there might be things wrong with it. In my personal experience, I have never suffered the “negatives” of web 2.0. There is a reason for that. I know how to use social media. I am not limiting or restraining anyone from social media, I only suggest doing good things sparingly before they cause harm. To illustrate, candy is awesome! Yet, consuming candy regularly is detrimental in so many long-term ...
