TPP The Dirtiest Trade Deal You've Never Heard Of
Update July 3
Good morning, following your comments I messaged the EFF, foundation responsible of defending your rights in the internet to let them know that their petition is archived, since I'm not sure if they are aware of that. In meantime I updated the petition link with another one available on their website, which you can find in here: Contact Your Lawmakers and Speak Out Against the TPP (U.S.) It's in a form of auto-generated message on the right side of the website, you can edit it to your own needs of course or write it on your own, it's a nice solution though if you don't know how to put it all in pretty words. It basically covers

Gone Forever - Poem
You spoke
But you never said it
You moved
But you never acted
And everything that might've been yours
You let it slip through your fingers
Like dust...
Like ash...
Like they were worthless grains of sand
When it was treasure...
And now it's gone forever
Every opportunity to stand up tall
To make a change
But all you ever did was turn away when things got hard
Was it just fear or merely circumstance?
And when you said you cared, was that only just pretend?
Questions; but the answers aren't within my reach
And now it seems they'll ever remain a mystery to me
Gone forever, when you promised me you'd never leave...
Gone forever
Knowing when to keep quiet
And knowing when to shout out
Are attributes well worth honing
As they take away any doubt
In times when we can’t intervene
We must keep thoughts well inside
At others we need to show force
So that truth then can’t be denied

A letter to my parents generation.
Every one told me, you'll be wiser when you grow older. I'm older.
Everyone tells me, you'll be wiser when you go to collage, get a job, buy a house, get a car, start a family... and then never see them as you work to death to pay off the debt, yet as they say, a person who has a debt is never none the wiser.
I live in a free country, where boys don't cry and girls wear skirts. The same country where if a man kisses another man people whisper under their breath "no nome do pai, do filho, e do espirito santo" as they motion a cross, but if a woman kisses another woman it's just to tease men, and where blacks and gypsies are nothing but a plagu

Nonsense! - Poem
I don't think you're unintelligent
I just don't quite yet understand
Why you believe what you believe
To me it just doesn't make sense
I suppose that others might just dismiss
What it is you have to say
Think you're ignorant and then in bliss
Simply choose to walk away
I might tell myself that someone else
Told you a lot of lies
Think you are a fool who just repeats
And not give you credit for having eyes
But just how is it right to think you inept
Simply because I don't agree?
Clearly one of us needs to check their facts
And I know that someone isn't me!
I mean, it's not as though my own beliefs
Have ever been comprised of what others ta
The sunset floods my room hues of crimson
My words are useless to you now
My body struggles to look into your eyes
The warmth of this room swallows me into your embrace
The lamb falls for her lion roar
I breath you in and lips quiver for a moment of your taste
I reveal my emotions with each eager stroke
Ive confine myself to your will
Your little failure that preys for sexual temptation
Ive sink myself into your realm

She Loved Him So Much - Flash Fiction
Her tears inspired within him a keen sense of empathy and compassion, and caused him to instinctively embrace her in an attempt to comfort her through her pain. She eased into him, calming to a noticeable degree immediately. Her trembling became less severe, and her breathing more even in a matter of a seconds. And when at last she was fully stilled, he gently pulled away from her - his hug having accomplished all he had hoped it would. He separated himself from her because as an unrelated gentleman who only saw himself as her friend; he did not wish to hold her any longer than the laws of propriety would permit... But had he not felt the nee
A patter of wings followed me over my shoulder as I stepped onto the empty vehicle; it coughed, shuddered, and then slowly followed its autonomous course away from the dig site. I groaned and cracked my back, mind spinning and arms sore from the hours of careful scraping and brushing away in the dirt. Tea, meanwhile, flew over to my locker, keying in the combination with one of her tentacle-tails and sliding the artifact in with the others. I watched the diminutive robot perform her task, enthralled by the dusty, cracked sheets of stained fibers we’d recovered. A book, she’d called it. Unrestricted information.
