Bones knows the hatred
expressed by most people,
and their act of ignorance
to his very existence.  

He notices the throngs
that pass on by him,
and do not bother to notice,
that he is a living,
breathing,
fellow human being.  

Most people wish that Bones
did not exist at all.  

They would like him to disappear
into the great nothingness.

Another excellent display of word-craft.

Those people act that way out of fear... Perhaps Bones is a mirror of what may yet be, or what was. Distance and cruelty is easy, caring is most difficult and leaves us open to potential hurt. But the potential rewards can be life changing for the caregiver and the one being cared for... nothing ventured nothing gained.

My wife says I never listen... or something like that

Thanks Father,

I'm pleased you liked the poem.

As my man FDR said, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."

Bones is somewhat is disturbed.  He does too many things in a given time period.  Perhaps its creator is pushing bones a little too hard and should stop.  I think the creator of bones should feed Bones to its audience in story fashion.  In some kind of sequence to the presentation of Bones is more acceptable, but right now bones is a bit scattered, I think the audience who is reading bones, is getting lost and frankly interest in bones.  

I think if the creator of Bones cares.  He would be a little more careful about how he present Bones.  Think of Bones as your child and take very good care of him.

... the dirt swept under the rug. Your content is so true of a great many things in this world.

REJ: You give a thanks for reading and commenting to Trapped-Nothing. Well, perhaps you and Bones have a more forgiving nature than I. In truth, I would say this is a perfect piece for TN.

....ahhh... enough time and energy spent on clap-trap. Peace to you and yours.

Thanks Andrew,

For your kind words on Bones and Bobby's nature.  Of course Bones, like everything I write is largely autobiographical.

Hello Bobby, I was pleased to see Bobby is still going strong even tho' some people

might wish him banishment. I think most of us have become quite fond of Bones. Take care my friend.
