far too much horrific news these days in unsubstantial days of ridiculousness your nights are shattered with substandard discourse with the celestial ahhh . . . too many disheartening lies one after the other we have regrets of things done past with plans for shelter stocking up on necessary provisions for the long haul lots of videos, movies made before Technicolor (remember those?) in your exile you need as much comfort as possible lots of nostalgic thing around you music, yes, but you disdain the rock and rap preferring the gentle horn of Stan Getz you'll need books, poetry and Greek tragedies not to forget certain risqué material so you hide from your fears a concession to your lasciviousness the world implodes around you so there you are trying to hide and purge yourself lock what you can camouflage all the rest wishing you had an underground vault so you hunker down give in to your trepidation wondering what is going on in the world you have left you have trouble sleeping the books and music and risqué material are all a turn-off foreboding consumes you all the comforts you've secreted inside your concealed fortress away from the uncivilized world takes all your concentration will not allow pleasure to enter within your soul your entire days and nights are consumed wondering when you can dare venture out into the world and when you do you have no idea if the world will still be there and if it is will the carnage have ceased (c)September 22, 2013 / Jerry Pat Bolton [This message has been edited by JerryPat2 (09-24-2013 09:12 AM).] |

apocalypse projection (ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!) I don't want to go there Jerry, not now, things are looking good for a change in the narrow vision of my world. I'd rather be in denial of the big picture a while longer... Your vision is hard to ignore my friend. ~L |

yea, that end of the world thing I don't want to know about unless I have to, especially when I close my eyes to go to sleep, but I know the reality of the world in which we are living, so I will wince for now ...... |

Hah! Wince away, Emma. There are some very difficult times on the way to America I maintain. It is coming. Shopping Centers. Crowed subways. It is coming. Whey they care not for their own lives they sure do not care for anyone else, unless, of course if you are Muslim. Even so . . . They kill their own. Thank you for showing up here today. ~*~ If they give you lined paper write sideways. ~*~ |
