Poetry Contest Submission: The Past of Pain - a poem written by Dominque Conston


The Past of Pain


It's all said but not done.
Helpless and lost as one. 
Searching for the light that shines in the dark.
Clueless, in a world of so many.
Praying and hoping that it all gets washed away.
The life of becoming a stray.
Trying to communicate but nothing answers.
Pleading the case but nothing matters.
Yeah, the mind knows.
Simplifying the process, slowing down the progress.
Maybe you'll guess...
Unidentified lonely steps, becoming one who regrets.
What's worse? He who forgets.
Forgotten in a place that consists of hypocrites.
Idiots, who put lives in danger of the innocence.
But in a sense, it makes sense...
The people, the population, specified by location, struggling, praying it doesn't get taken.
Oriented by culture, the few, the tortured, homeless and less fortunate.
Defiance in a whole.
The abundance in a soul, which seeks drugs and abuses, becoming cold and useless.
Lets optimize that...
Imagine life on a mountain,
Where alcohol becomes a fountain of inspiration,
And drugs become useful medication instead of someone's sweet temptation.
Call it an odd examination, but it's no test, when it's written and laminated. 
Falsified information is what you see.
Description for the blind.
So what's the key?
Faith, in most cases.
No matter your religion or belief.
No more stressing, you determine what you're destined.
Life's written, just read your lesson.

"Tragedy In Boston"





Two killed and 50+ wounded this afternoon in Boston. As bombs were planted in places along the finish line of this years Boston Marathon in what is believed by many to be a form of a terrorist attack but that has not yet been confirmed as so. Seen in the video above the blast was strong enough to knock runners and by standers to the ground. Luckily these bombs detonated after the Marathons nearly 2,000 runners had already crossed the finish line. Still, keep the victims and their loved ones in your prayers #PrayForBoston    

Gone But Never Forgotten: A Candle Light Memorial for Wayne Drummer

RIP Wayne:

Gone But Never Forgotten




It pains me to not be present to attend such a meaningful moment for a person with such a loving and beautiful heart and spirit, but I know it pains his family more than anyone else could ever imagine. Due to the unexpected passing of a close friend of mine Wayne Drummer -whom was stabbed to death by his girlfriend of 5 years in her St. Petersburg apartment- his family and close friends are asking that people come out and offer their condolences and support as we all grief such a tragic event. There will be a candle light memorial outside of 785 Regent Dr, Dekalb, IL tonight at 6 p.m. sharp. If you're in Dekalb and knew of Wayne, I ask that you go to pay your respects. Being that his body remains in Florida, his family is asking that people donate and/or contribute money to help the family cover the expenses of the cost to have him shipped back to Chicago for a proper home going. Anything is greatly appreciated, no amount is too little or too much. If you cannot make it to the memorial, you can still donate by going to www.giveforward.com/fundraiser/fl72/bringanangelhome We love you Wayne, and you'll live on through the memories of so many people! I will forever cherish every minute we shared and you'll always have a special place in my heart. We've lost a soldier but God gained yet another one of His angels. Gone but never forgotten, RIP my good friend Wayne! 

Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul.
