You’ll see the look and you’ll see the lies
You’ll eat the lies and you will…
Flies in the Vaseline
Day: July 25, 2015
I met a man the other day …
I met a man the other day
Who still believes in freedom;
Who thinks to live and worship, folks
Should do as they deem best
He had his own beliefs, I know,
But didn’t think it treason
That others disagree, and walk
Upon a different path
He didn’t fear that they’d corrupt
His children with their teaching;
This freedom thus extending to
His progeny as well
The oddest thing of all, was his
Respecting strange traditions

As though these weren’t a threat
I offered him the bread of lies
That he could eat in comfort

Things others would pretend to be aware of
Things like how the weather can affect Kitt
whose been diagnosed as Bipolar
I knew that rain could cause stiffness in joints
But now know seasons changing can make despair hover

Then there’s Robert
an artist and my new cyberbuddy who taught me about Dissociative Identity Disorder
He too shares and gives and pours
Out to others though life tries to intermittently dehydrate his…

What my father taught me
My father taught me that there are two ways to go through life. You can tiptoe and get safely to your destination without anyone noticing you passed here or you stamp your feet hard on the ground making everybody know you are passing and you leave your footprints on the and of time.
“Make the choice and either reap the fruits or face the consequences,” he told me; and I have opted for stamping my feet hard on the ground; for he quoted John Mason who said, “If you never take risks, you’ll never accomplish anything.Everybody dies, but not everybody has lived.”
He went on to tell me: “Be bold! Be courageous!I do not encourage you to live a thoughtless or reckless life, for that would be a sure path to destruction; but I encourage you to live a bold, courageous, life, taking meaningful, calculated risks. Without this, you waste…
