"Queens do not lower themselves to sheep"
Some say
Then you don't know how leadership works
I retort
Queens work alongside people
Are humble
But not afraid to make decisions
Queens take arms for them
Queens rise for them
Queens do not require praise or worship
There is a reason the Queen s more valuable than the king, you see
Queens birth hope, ideas, values
Queens do not mind the rumors
Queens earn the respect and trust of those around them
Through time and love
Queens are the mothers, the sisters, the daughters
Queens know how to compromise
Queens know to befriend other queens
Queens know how to fight when necessary, but usually prefer not to
You point at sheep, at people you think are lesser
I see a Queen in disguise
As a waitress, a cleaner, a cook, a laborer
She is beautiful
She is wise

The Devil's Triangle
The sails ruffled in the breeze as we cruised along. The Sea Breeze was a mid-size catamaran that sailed out of Royal Naval Dockyard in Bermuda. We had booked this trip weeks in advance and were now looking at our Captain, Spike and two boat hands. Paddy and Wilson seemed like nice guys, joking around with the passengers and telling us some stories about Bermuda that only locals would know. Their island accents sounded almost British but they were pleasant to listen to.
