Paint me as a bad guy - give it all that you can give Say that I'm a sad guy who does not deserve to live Say that I'm responsible for everything that's wrong Paint me as a bad guy and be sure to make it strong. Treat me like a soccer ball or football - take your pick. Let your foot fly forward with a swift, resounding kick. Let me know my worthlessness is based on real fact Paint me as a bad guy with your righteousness intact. Al Capone was just a piker - I'm the enemy Hell's Angels nothing more than bikers when compared to me Paint that bullseye on my back and let your arrows fly Paint me a a bad guy - who deserves it more than I? Spread my sins out on the table - serve them up for lunch Tell me how pure evil seeps out from me as you munch Stick that dagger in my back and twist it, if you dare Paint me as a bad guy....you know, I don't really care... |

YEAH RIGHT!!! If your the bad guy then I am already burning in hell. Powerful write sir. If you dont mind having one of the ten most wanted(and Im not talking in a good way) riding shotgun then I'll be happy to ignore them with ya. It seems I'm doing a lot of that these days as it is, but at least I'm getting a good chuckle or two from all the energy expended. SO VERY glad to see you back. I could use one of your famous ballads right about now. |

SweetBalladeer~ I saw the 'veiled' targets on your back And understand the pain Of knowing someone finds pleasure in Attempting to besmirch your name But, sweetheart let me tell you They missed you by a mile With failed attempts to 'paint you bad' I read them - and I smile For upon your targeted canvas True friends can plainly see Only the glowing colors from The palette of truth and reality Within the flaming arrows There is a little trick And those who would throw 'paint' at you Had better duck real quick For it has been said What 'goes around - comes around' I believe that it's true When one throws a little dirt-they lose a little ground For this I know And you can bet The 'shooting' isn't over At least not yet With this in mind I offer you - my friendship intact You look 'em straight in the eye I got your back ! *Hugs*, my friend 'that's what friends are for' ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Well, you are absolutely right. The only way to deal with people like that is to ignore them! Gossip does nothing but hurt people, and we, as poets, of all people, should know that! Great poem, Balladeer! sp Never leave me, never go... I need you here, I need to know... You will always be Close to me |

How could I paint you bad when you're wearing white how could anyone paint you bad at all when you act as shining knight how could anyone use your back to place those arrows in no it must be their lack t'would be a mortal sin if anyone paints you bad just you let me know I'll hurry to your defence because I need you so. Not Bad! No way! Uh UH! But naughty theres a nice kettle of fish..Good to see you back  Keth Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen. |

The poem was great but the subject unsettling. I hope they try to use a boomerang. That'll knock their brains in place. Love you Liz |

Once again I try to read responses to find out what is going on when someone who writes mostly of loving is writing something quite opposite..not understanding if this is real or a well emotioned poem..I offer this.....I have felt the same at many times, and some days I can let it sweep over me and some days it seeps instead into my pores...everyone says.."and it too shall pass"...well as the saying goes... huggzz, Dear One...and may this day shine it's lightside upon you... ~Wynter "The worst prison would be a closed heart". ...Pope John Paul II |

'Deer love, how could anyone do that, that is insufferable, oh no no no, you are not a bad guy. I always see you as the good guy, white hat, and white horse like they always used to have in those Saturday morning pictures. Or the 'milky bar kid' at the very least. And this is a fantastic and wonderful piece from you, and I hope whoever is the wicked one, will run off with their tail between their legs. Excellantly put, 'Deer Take care love Mushy Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Funny, I was just talking about this concept with a friend, (Where is STAN? anyway?) but someone once told me that people do err, thinking of energy as positive or negative, that we should think of it as active or receptive. Energy just IS...it is how we utilize it that personifies US...so there's my two cents...I ante'd. |

If "bad guy" was defined as follows BAD GUY  ne who has a caring heart and truly expresses his concern for others.Then I would see you as the bad guy of the year. Spoken from what I`ve read in you replies as well as your poetry. Keep your head up and your heart open. Mr.Magoo G.B.Y. |

If I'm going to paint you It could take quite a while But with luck, we both might end up Wearing quite a smile. For I'm not good with brushes But a lipstick would do fine I'd apply it smooch by smooch - Two coats, if you wouldn't mind? *G* Hmmm... I do wonder if this rant is inspired by real events or you just know women have a fondness for bad guys... *G* Either way, the poem is great! |
