NO. Not even poetry can begin to cover up your layers of abuse. NO. No, you may not subject women, children or ‘other’ free thinkers, not even the lowliest of the animals to your unbridled abuse, nor to your look-the-other-way-neglect. So the next time you think you can do as you choose? Do just that... think. And if that boomerang hits you right square in the face? Know that you are receiving your rejection notice. You’ve failed in the initiation rites at becoming a member of the human race. |

Wow! That certainly appears to be a well-deserved---and well-delivered!!!---punch to the solar plexus! I'll join you in shouting out, "NO!!!!!!" Impassioned write! You speak out for those who have lost their voices.  EA |

I have a feeling most of us fail that test, though very few are willing to go find it in themselves. Having failed it myself recently, I could do with a little company down here..... |

This is definitely an emotional power packed word standing upon the great strength of your pen.  SusanHappiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

Enough, is enough, and is more than enough, and so it goes! Your voice comes across loud and clear Kacy, and the sound is so true to form. Bravo woman!!!! |
