Flying by wire with women
Flies ideas of faith
Like a traveller’s temporary invite
For a disposable use
As plastic carried in a handbag
To fly above the norm
Becomes matter of place
And decoration of a boring time
Is done with something forlorn

Pulled by family recognition
Tight as the duck landing low
Given choices wasted
That life can be laid so

Family rectified as temper, games, desire
Work on daily phone calls
Acknowledging the sty

In a man we call it arrogance
With a woman
It has just begun
In subtle terms answering commands
Your woman
And from the gun you gone

Woken by a siren
Games are played on high
Everything to destroy
Keeps the family on high

As relative raked out droans the wisdom
For all of their days
A son is yours till he take’s a wife
Your daughter is your daughter for all of your life
Until just one day
When script fails
And a woman becomes
A wife

And you like an Empress
That failed by your choice
Of suitor to provide
And to the world
Why the wrong voice
For
Your desire on the downward path
As you fail on craft

Provoking
What is never done
But always achieved
And in what they believe
And why

They stop you
Thriving in ignorance
They enjoyed

To prevent you
From denting
Their established
Void

DANG!  I would LOVE to hear this one
read aloud!

It's more than a Dave...

Yep!

Much more!

THIS, sir, is one of your best.

Karilea - if I whisper, will you listen?  Keeping in mind, I must stand close...and keep my promises...

We book a time and date next weekend and I will read it over the phone.

I only have modem connection so I don't have VOIP.

A lot of yours I would like to hear said.

I keep wondering why we don't have some conflab for everyone, once a year but we could never fit all the words in.

Take care and you are raising something that I have wanted to happen - meeting people and listening to them reading their words.

regards

Dave

these are some strong words
everything isnt always how it looks
learned that hard way with controlling alcoholic who could create a scene for his advantage. his excuse, another to place focus on as not to acknowledge his problem.
people arent always who they say they are
just what they think you want them to be.
choices arent always right or wrong
you cant control what happens around you no matter how hard you try. especially when outnumbered.  you can ignore and try to stay on track, but it eats you inside  or when you stand up for yourself  you become even more of target. you let it alone. they cant let it alone.  people believe what they want and have you believe what they want you to believe.  not to many good ones left   and it saddens me to see what is happening to the good ones  no matter how hard we try to stay on right path and not let all the hate around us get inside and become like them  people have a way to make us look like it has  so we have might give up at times and feel whats the use.after so many time being drug down, it gets harder to get up again . men dont like strong women   ive learned that the hard way. man and machine have destroyed  and are destroying all  and for what  greed and control   sorry i guess this one got me venting    i apoligize

Thanks Becka.

I know my stuff is often over the top but I try to be honest.

Thanks Marsha

Long time ago I went through an Accredition Process for the Home Office in the UK as a Voluntary Associate working with people living rough on Camberwell Green with a partner Vidia Narrayan.

I spent 9 years although it was more management after that on a Trust and 2 Hostels in trouble.

I understand what you saying which doesn't mean I relate you to this, it means I relate you to knowledge.

Thanks all

regards

Dave
