Poetry On Odyssey: Shirtless

Nothing gold can stay, unless if you stay out in the sun too long — then you get a nice tan.

Poetry On Odyssey: Shirtless
Embassy of Russia / Twitter

Everyone likes going on summer vacation

Including even the leader of the Russian nation

When not bombing the Caucasus or conducting illegal invasions

Vladimir Putin poses shirtless for every occasion

Laying back in the sun, decked out in sunglasses

He sits back and watches as the time passes

Maybe he thinks his body will pick up all the lasses

Or maybe he's letting loose, and passing lots of gasses

But relaxation isn't the only thing he's fond of

Still wearing his shades, he looks kinda like a Russian Bono

He casts out his fishing rod into a big pond

And cooks it up and eats it as dusk goes to dawn

Putin is no stranger to bearing his chest

He likes to go shirtless because he thinks he's the best

In 2009, he rode a horse and became the subject of internet jest

Putin is pretty pale, he must be wearing 50 SPF!

But Putin isn't the only right-wing political figure

Who's fond of disrobing and posing for pictures

Alex Jones takes his shirt off when talking about Illuminati killers

And also when he's about to chow down and eat dinner

Alex Jones takes his shirt off even more than Vlad!

Even though his upper body looks very, very bad

When pushing quack medical supplements like they're the latest fad

Alex Jones poses for photos, that can only be described as - Sad!

Recently his ex-wife said in a deposition

Alex Jones takes his shirt off even during counseling sessions!

It seems as if Jones has no inhibitions

When engaging in upper-body expositions

Alex Jones even takes his shirt off on-air

Leaving his chest completely bare

He talks about how Building 7 disappeared into thin air

Even though no planes hit over there!

One must wonder why people of right-wing pedigree

Feel the need to display in this way their own masculinity

Maybe they have their own issues; they're self-conscious and compensating

Whatever it is, it's really, really, really embarrassing

Dear reader, you've seen how macho Putin and Alex Jones are

But what you're about to see next will leave you scarred

The next picture in this poem should be against the law

It's far more disturbing than anything you've seen so far

This next picture is a massive error

It reflects badly on the entire human species - all of us together

In the primordial contest of "Whose chest is barer?"

No one is worse than Geraldo Rivera!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

WP content

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
