You tend to sit alone And watch the world happen To those around you As you pretend your thoughts matter To those of us living You make judgements You decree our thoughts Pure and heart-filled To be errors You feel that we are dull Not bright enough to decide For ourselves Unable to see truth from fact Ours from theirs Comcerned more with power Given so easily Yet worn with inane thoughts Words, Thoughts, and Lives Famously and religiously held Yet still we need to be told Why, Who, and Where A thought not agreed With your scattered mind Becomes suspect in your thoughts A subject to be flaunted to the world When a thought between equals Should be kept between men Our thoughts given You are respected that much Yet our thoughts are misused Mispoken for your gain You think you have the right When all around question Why do you think You have got to love politics, eh?? We are all equal but we’re individually different and able to reach the impossible if we try. [This message has been edited by Ringo (10-03-2003 12:20 AM).] |

that's why I don't pay attention  If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried. |

*stifling a laugh* Yes, well done Brad as usual you speak your mind in poetry . . . Politics, eh? yep, I know, I do I do loved this Concerned more with power Given so easily Yet worn with inane thoughts (this is very well written, Brad truly) so very truthful *smile* xxoo [This message has been edited by littlewing (10-03-2003 08:21 AM).] |

Crystal- I am glad to have been of service. Ceinwyn- It's probably safer that way, isn't. I have recently decided the sme thing. Kaoru- Thank you. rkcraig- Thanks For the kind words. They are appreciated. Sue- Don't start, or you'll get my laughing, and then I'll be shooting coffee out my nose!!! We are all equal but we’re individually different |

 (big hugggsssssss) I believe very much in political activism, even when I don't like to talk about politics and talk simply about love! (sad sigh) Sadly here are leaders, even here in the U.S, who are ruling without love and that is why I feel I must write political poems and speak my views, for if I don't I feel as good as dead, and to live and speak is the way to truly live! Am I ever going to be a politician, no, because I don't want to sit next to a group of liars, but do I want to express my opinions? Yes! I love your thoughts here, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Bradly, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |
