Wrecked again by the car of spirit ugliness, But I have held the license for this, way too long And perhaps the purple bruise has grown so old That no salve will remove the boredom of its drudgery? * Conservative, your posture claims, yet of what?, Is it still unfair conditioning that remains, Or the history of four walls and wailing child (The last one still dwells with us , but is grown) Does this, your life's horizons, keep to close? Or is it me that holds you back from pleasant dreams? * One fights for freedom, one is self constrained, Regardless of an urging, to cut lose from the past. And now you choose a band-aid for infected-sores Of forty years of cuts; you say its harmless But I say it has, to lingering pain, contributed blindness And the pus of anger seeps still from your wounds, Blurring any vision of real purging; Leaving me to bask, in the foul effluent that it casts. |

 (big hugggsssssss) This may sound a little extreme, but I can't help but feel conservatives care about their money more than they do others and do things only for their own personal gain! (sad sigh) A band-aid will not enclose the wounds in bleeding hearts and shattered souls, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ford, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "You'll find something that's enough to keep you |

"Of forty years of cuts; you say its harmless But I say it has, to lingering pain, contributed blindness And the pus of anger seeps still from your wounds, Blurring any vision of real purging; Leaving me to bask, in the foul effluent that it casts." The writing was so original describing such a painful situation. I was especially impressed with the above. |
