. . . a man's intellect his own thinking can be manipulated by others to annihilate him the staggering terminal ability of each man's individual internal darkness . . . . . . the dark is there . . . always there in each and every one of us all we need to do is pick at its scab; let it ooze . . . ©December 9, 2011 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

Dear JP, You said so much in this poem. I could see it becoming a novel, a great novel. Ms. E |

"Pacific Heights," by Paul Harper is the novel which inspired this poem and the last two lines, Ms E. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

Gotta wear a heavy duty bandaid not to succumb to the forces of evil. Hard hitting and scary for those that neglect to know the greater good |

Sometimes even knowing the "greater good" is not enough to keep the gremlins away for the scab and the pus that bleeds from it. Thank, EmmaRose, for checking "Manipulation" out and adding your voice to the poem. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |
