Poem: RESPECT


Respect
Juliet Fortich

Often we treasure our principles and our style
We get to step on others till we make them cry.
We sometimes do not see what is her reason why she has to fight
For most of the time it is our opinion that we get to side.

People sometimes forget their pride.
They may have experienced being stepped on but swallowed it.
They allow the other party’s opinion to manipulate what they fight for
Without making them anymore understand what it is they ask.

Respect! It is always what is lacking in every relationships like these.
Sometimes, highly opinionated partners tend to be full of wisdom
Yet they fail to understand the plight of the other one.
Most of the time, it the pride of the other that is at stake
But because of great love one has always to give in
While the other remains with his opinion
Minding not what the other feels.

Will he be happy of whatever he has to feel of the ego he has
 to let the world  he is a normal being?
Will he be happy to know that the woman sheds tears
For every pain that it gives everytime she sees respect being out of the way?

Truly Love is a many splendored thing
That even belittling one makes it acceptable
Wondered why it is called admirable when it has always been a word for scrabble.

English Language; Key to Global Access

ENGLISH LANGUAGE; KEY TO GLOBAL ACCESS Juliet Fortich Language, this is how people communicate. Without this we can never understand each other. Language though may come in different ways. It may be by touch, by mere actions, sound and most of all through the use of speech. Everyone may be able to communicate with each other using their own way. But nothing is much clearer than speaking.                 People all around the globe speak different languages. Some speak British, some Italian, others speak Arabic, Korean, Niponggo, Mandarin and some speak Chinese. But nothing can beat the international language which is English. Who understands the languages I mentioned aside from English? Do you?                 English so far stands out from the rest.

ENGLISH LANGUAGE: KEY TO GLOBAL ACCESS

ENGLISH LANGUAGE; KEY TO GLOBAL ACCESS English is one of the most important languages in the world. It can even be said to be the single most important language. Though other languages are important too, but not for the same reasons as English is. Why? Maybe because it is the only language that truly links the whole world together. If not for English, we may not be as united as it is today. Modern English is the most dominant and  required international language of communications, science, information technology, business, aviation, entertainment, radio and diplomacy. The growing economic and cultural influence of the United States and its status as a global superpower since World War II have significantly accelerated the language’s spread all across the planet. A working knowledge of English has become a requirement in a number of fields, occupations and professions such as medicine and computing; as a consequence over a billion people speak English to at least a basic l

Poem: LOVE and GREED

Love and Greed Juliet Fortich I am alone And I always feel that way. I love to be with someone but I can never do. Most of the time, my heart feels the longing… It seeks for his time and his efforts so that emptiness will not go its way. But sometimes, it comes with greed. The longing keeps on prolonging until emptiness strikes. What kind of love is it? When it always sits Just like one is talking to an empty chair While waiting for the imaginary person to say what he needs. Love! It is always the reason of every happiness, sadness and even tears. We wish to love and be loved We wish to care and be cared for We wish to give and be given time for We seek love at all times That only the person we wished for be the person we have that from But sometimes we can’t have it For love sometimes is full of greed.                                                                              *January 16, 2012
