This is aimed at attacking attitudes, manipulation and rebellion against growing up. Dave On the failed rebound memories you take a man Using by twice per night to fill a jar That you will never empty As you fill your images For as long as your mage Consults In relatives with answers You live and die For image Of your mother and father For fear Of enjoyment And phone calls As a child you were born To be kept Pleading I have done And never knowing life Meant you were never done Meeting A six year scout Exploring all you failed to cover As you cover those You could Cover To explore Where did honesty rear it’s head As you used someone who cared To find a sanctuary And still you wonder why When you have used them Do they not want you to use them again And still you feel you will get away with it That you are in control That you dictate Until too late you discover The fool |

very intense, thought provoking and well written..adding, and this is only my opinion not directed at anyone....but the thought your poem evoked...we would all like to change the world...make it a better place...but consentrating on self, perhaps is the start of the ripple effect...which I felt you were conveying here...we fear so, the opinons of others, when in fact, within reason, opinion is art...offering up to the takers, without expectation...but in complete care and honesty....to consider our homes, this courtry, what we have and who we are, a place of visit...we are the visitors...the renters, the tourists....meaning, consider others, take less and give more...without one thought of what's in it for us...I know, I know, I'm a dreamer...but I do believe it is and could be real...we've come to a place where we've got to make a difference....for the good of the people, for the good of mankind...considering the ripple effect when we make descision... Thank you David, as always for another brilliant and thought provoking write/right Hugs |

Lee Call it for spirit but ask yourself whether the negative or the positive is what charges Dave |

I do not believe it is ever too late to, as you put it, "discover the fool" because everyone marches down this road we call life at their own pace. It seems as if we all think that there has to be a certain time or place to grow up, but no, I think it comes when the person is ready. I loved your poem! Kristabell |

Kristabell Thank you - it was one of my off the head sets of words. Dave Foxyoasis What is shame but maybe a desire to let something pretend it never happened for reasons that it may be true, may be too close or showed something we thought no-one would see Dave |
