Show Some Humanity

When something is wrong, do you stand for what is right?

Put your hand on his neck and squeeze,

That’s his punishment for not saying excuse me, right?

Because when someone does something wrong,

You’re meant to knock them to the ground,

Why treat someone with compassion,

When violence is such a quicker method.

He isn’t as aware as you or I,

But does that really make him any less of a person?

Since he doesn’t feel heat,

He can’t feel the bruise you gave him by choking.

That must be what you are thinking.

He doesn’t get the fact that what you’re doing is wrong,

Even if you were to beat him, already senseless,

His heart is too big to do anything in return,

He’s such a good guy, that even though he is very strong,

Powerful enough to knock the teeth out of your mouth,

He would never lift his hand to you, his caretaker,

If you can still be called that.

Making him drink so much water he starts to gag on the tasteless liquid,

Using what little money he is given from his eight hour week job,

Instead of the food stamps he is provided.

Making foods you know he hates,

But having to eat them anyway, because it’s either that or starve.

I don’t know how someone like you,

Was given permission to care for this great person,

Does he talk too much?

He’s socially awkward?

With the amazingly kind personality he has, there needs to be flaws,

After all, he is only human.

And you, I have never met, are this monster,

I picture you with white fangs in a cruel smile,

Big hands to hurt and handle,

I see a visage of a man long forgotten.

I wish I could stop you,

From hurting this innocent man with your misplaced anger,

I could yell and scream at you obscenities,

Cry and beg for you to show some humanity,

If I could ever meet you,

Somehow get you alone,

I would wrap my hands around your throat and...

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
