A demon's late scare
Tunes not to share,
Mary Jane keeping me the Episcopal of fear,
A proximity breach,
In the attempt to reach,
All the rhymes and the sonnets that I ever did preach,
To you,
And all the rest,
The hate and debate over who's the best,
Over a lyrical guide,
Within the self confidence,
Of whether or not to divide the prominence,
Of dominance and common sense,
All you need is a few Pence,
Or pennies
To make it far in this country
Of the many,
Many, proud and fearless,
All you have to do is learn to hear less,
Less hate
Less pain
Less anger
Less fear
Then you shall be a natural born leader

Or not. I think the truth of this matter lies in your point of view. Still you wrote well and I was enthralled enough to ask questions. Good work.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Glad to see you here.
There is a synergy in our thinking, from opposite ends of the spectrum...and it's good to understand the workings that hold us captive.  I must contend that your writes inspire reply...actually commentary of understanding.  Good write.

"All you have to do is learn to hear less,

Interesting point of view as your conclusion...there is probably (and unfortunately) a great deal of truth in your words, "All you have to do is learn to hear less"
