I goaded myself on a bellyful
of ignorance and attitude
then hurled my patience and gratitude

My finger pointed
just and true....
...how does that go?
“One at them
Three back at you”...

My indignation felt so good
for a change
from poor me fodder
The nerve of some people
giving me respite
from my own

From higher learning
I still remember
we each unto another
a purpose serve
by learning
or to teach
And in truth
it takes us each
within our skin
And what irks me
about another
is a surly something
irksome in me

So what's my problem
and my indignation
dissolves into inquisition
and I'm back to battling
my own demons again

But still, in that stirring
from my stupor by
that oh so sort of stupid
only known to humanity
that puts a fire under me,
I am alive!
Championing the underdog!
My anger is condoned
my flame becoming
but benign

WoW! Some inspiring homespun philosophy in this great piece of writing, Lori. From the depths of your soul you have reached in and declared to the world certain pieces of yourself you want told. Your words are to be valued for what they are . . . Your humanity on parade. I absolutely loved this.

Yes, Lori: the fluid-moving fire begins and ends with you..I like the innocuous benign ending.

Soulful read,

Al

I'm glad Al picked up on it also. I failed to mention it.

Your delving into that deeper side of you again, Lori.

As I said before, I like this side of you.

Passive aggressive, with such passion.

I really enjoyed this.
