Women's work by Joseph Wright

Women's Work
Skin wrinkled and weathered by age and hardship
hand gnarled, their vitality nearly spent
but one final work to be done
a last piece of virgin granite to be chiseled
a difficult take, a man-child to be formed

Her work barely begun, but stared well,
the chisel she passed to younger hands
a pupil;well taught her master;s craft'
but still untested on so fine a piece-a child to be a man

Skillful hands, cut and smooth, buff and polish
molding a masterful piece,
art and artist, one begins the other ends,
yet the process only stared

WOMEN AND MEN
NOTHING STANDS BETWEEN MAN AND WOMEN THERE HIGHEST IDEALS
AND EVERY DESIE OF HEART ,BUT DOUBTS AND FEAR.
WHEN MAN AND WOMEN CAN WISH WITHOUT WOEEYING, EVERY DESIRE
WILL BE INSTANTLY FULFILLED.

IT IS MAN'S AND WOMEN ONLY ENEMY-FEAR OF LACK,FEAR OF FAILURE;
FEAR OF SICKNESS, FEAR OF LOSS AND A FEELING OF INSECURITY ON SOME
PLANE. WE MUST SUBSTITUE FAITH FOR FEAR, FOR FEAR IS ONLY INVERTED FAITH,
IT IS FAITH IN EVIL, INSTEAD OF FAITH IN GOOD.

The view from my doorway by Sean Qualls

THE VIEW FROM MY DOORWAY

I'VE BEEN IN PRISON NOW FOR OVER (151/2) FIFTEEN AND A HALF YEARS, AND I'VE BEEN TO MANY DIFFERENT INSTITUTIONS. HOWEVER, NO MATTER WHAT INSTITUTION I'M IN I CAN TAKE A CHAIR AND SIT IN THE DOORWAY OF MY CELL AND THE VIEW PRETTY MUCH REMAINS THE SAME. I SEE MEN SLAMMING DOMINOES, CARDS, AND EVEN CHESS PIECES. THIS LAST ONE IS MOST SUPRISING, BECAUSE CHESS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A RELATIVELY QUIET GAME. YOU CAN ALSO HEAR THE WILDEST, AND LOUDEST CONVERSATIONS. MEN YELLING AT THE TOP OF THIER LUNGS ABOUT THE MOST TRIVIAL MATTERS. SUCH AS WHOSE ASS IS THE PHATEST BUFFIE OR MALIAH, OR WHO HAS THE MOST MONEY JAY-Z OR FIFTY CENT. HOW CAN THE ANSWER TO EITHER OF THESE QUESTIONS HELP US TO GET PREPARED TO RETURN TO SOCIETY? WILL WE REALLY BE READY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE PEOPLE'S LIVES THAT ARE WAITING FOR US ARGUING ABOUT THESE TYPES OF THINGS? I SERIOUSLY DOUBT IT!
I' M JUST WAITING PATIENTLY AND PRAYING THAT I GET A CHANCE TO SEE A DIFFERENT VIEW FROM A DIFFERENT DOORWAY SOONER RATHER THAN LATER.
