denial stories against the backdrop of northern skies sheave an innermost tragedy that leaves the minds of men, hoping destiny is the expert altering forbidden wishes into revenge like reprisals of honored faces & those damned marks of distinction left to wither and die in trembling blood pools of word portraits turning over charity plucks hallucinations from a violin… realizing the iciness of a paradise lost, when one human breath ceases to smile, an unconscious scathing who i ask, who is the war horse of leathered warehouses? where bones turn into ash to inescapable places redemption is unavoidable like the corrode of cancer like pills of fallen rainbows i swallowed, just to answer questions closing your eyes so you can’t feel the cold filtering ache i say, stories listen, as well as, tell like old furniture touching a whisper from heaven standing in a karaoke bar lassoing the moon, can you smell the stench of stale beer a silent audible voice chews m & m’s with a cataclysm tune it is, then, when the decay of leaves marches into your nostrils like a stench of death, you know, yes, then you know the abysmal hands of mind & time that refused to move the body into a consciousness that opens doors a deep coma sinks deep into moments blackening omens, scratching scratching naked men in trees for one saturday night that traces any available seat believing morning is insignificant but then, somebody has to die right? when does the alarm go off? when we’re sitting in a wheel chair in some nursing home? is that what causes neurodegenerative disorders in men? when all they can remember is a springsteen concert? drinking wine of forgetfulness? so their watch doesn’t lash out from behind the eyelids? nobody waves to parking lots filled with dutiful churches when work becomes a traffic jam! grunting asphalt chunks of toy soldiers ignoring plights that children chock on as we write and tell stories against a northern backdrop it is reality that’s gut piercing cuz, we know we drank to many margaritas cloning more discrepancies, then leaning forward~ we feared following the arrows that said “find out more”! it’s in the genes? yes, it’s in the genes! our priorities? ______________________________ footnote: during break the other day, I tried to bring up the issue of petafiles being turned loose after damaging child, after child, after child... Everyone ignored my words, it was like I was thinking outloud and nobody could hear me but me...and they quickly jumped into another conversation of jokes and plesant things... I believe this subject is to embarrasing for most to address, they fear taking a stand...until, it happens "close to home" When did crime start being rewarded? When did we become cowards? Are they not terrorists in our children's world? |

Its nice, I might need to read it about 10 more times before I really understand it, but its nice. I can't say I really agree on locking pedafiles away and never letting them out. My friend was accused of molesting a boy and the boy couldn't get his story straight. He kept changing it and because it looks good for a judge to throw a pedafile in jail and it was just before time to vote he did two years in a state prison, and he didn't even do anything. Not only did the boy lie, but hes also lied about several other men the very same way and ruined their lives as well. So I don't believe they should be locked away and not released at some point. They might be innocent like my friend. If you'd like to discuss it send me an e-mail. -GIS Romans 8:28 "And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purposes |

dear one, I can certainly sympathize with your friend, as I have known this to happen to many during my life time... But I'm talking about the ones that have been proven guilty through DNA...and have been turned loose.... unless you yourself have been a victim of this...you have no idea...the innocence that are riped out of the minds of children, and the effects for the rest of their lives....some can come to terms with it, and view it in a different light, perhaps when they're older, but others, others simply can't get over the guilt, shame and blame they feel...not to mention, loss of confidence, and the inner fear of being alone with men/women...this is a scar on humanities ability to make a difference. But no body seems to want to acknowledge it, until it happens to a loved one, or them. Thank you for reading and commenting sincerely sending forward hugs |
