Damn!

As writer Sheila, I and others are drawn to well penned thoughts and feelings. When they hit close to home as was this instance our need becomes to share with those we feel close to. Subject matter aside for the moment, the writers use of words in rhyme required a certain level of talent. What I got from the poem was a man's pride at being part of something greater than himself, something historic and in most cases respected.

I know we are all at odds over the situation in Iraq, but tearing each other new asses helps nothing.

Pat you quoted this:

The sword of murder is not the balance of justice."

Blood does not wipe our dishonour,

Nor violence indicate possession.

As men have often forsaken the plough and the anvil"

Those words bring to my mind pictures of masked men standing over truck drivers and merchants, threatining murder. Not of uniformed soldiers carrying out the orders of politicians we either do or do not agree with.

Anti-war songs have their place as well. Peace on earth is what I wish for every Christmas. Trouble is not all celibrate Christmas it seems, and the "God" we all pray to is too busy with his pay-for-view and Nascar!

Poetry can be artfully presented politics. I think not in this case. The writer of this poem in no instance expresses that he wants to kill, yet in my poem "Alone" I plainly state that only the presence of Sheila in my daily life stills my hand from actively getting revenge on some that have wronged me to the extent that I feel the need to take their lives, and no one has any problem or was offended by those words.

Its all perspective ladies and gentlemen. You read into things what is reflected in your heart, mind and lives.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

alone with my thoughts i stand and beckon a flame from my lighter .

pipe smoke rises before my eyes clouding the view ahead of me .

my gaze is focused on nothing in particular, just tomorrow .

Hey folks,
Appreciate the positive feed back. Sheila is here, she went to a Phi Theta Kappa thing last weekend and i had far too much time on my hands.
The rage is always there but having a calming influence around holds it at bay.
I think a lot of us would like to "put things right" for themselves i n one matter or another. For now my rage bleeds from my fingers into a keyboard and onto the screen sated for the time being.

Do you have anger issues because of mistreatment by JW's?

by LyinEyes in

i have been reading the thead on jw suicide the last two days and i have to admit, i am boiling mad, angry, and literally have thoughts of wanting to put my hands around some of the jw's who have abused so many......lol!!!!!!!

i realize this is not at all funny, but i do laugh at how i let this get to me to the point of fantazing of slapping some of the "higher than thou" jw's i have ran across in my life and those whom some of you decribed.

i read scully's story and wanted to choak the ones who did not pass her the emblems at the memorial.. i get so mad when i read how some of the jw's want to pass judgement on the one's who have committed suicide , saying they will not be resurrected.

Anger issues from dubby mistreatment......color me the poster child!
Whenever a group sets themselves on a pedistal and looks down with disdain on the rest of the world, and then practices injustice and unkindness, they reveal the truth of themselves. Pompus arrogant lying controling uncaring fools.

I can't even pitty them anymore.

I figured out the date for Armageddon

by gitasatsangha in

its controvertable, so sell your house and stock options and give them to me so you might spend moer time warning others of our loving god's plans to annihilate them on 2031. here you go: .

perhaps they will have new lite soon that the symbolic forty years and forty days in the wildernes was symbollic of 40,400 days because to god a thousand years is like a day so a week is like, therefore which is 110 years after 1914 is sometime in 2024 that they will no longer accept any new annointed claims.

40*365=14600+40=14640days of drinking and being merry (last hurrah for newly annointed ones): .

Thunder Rider

2030 huh......that will make me 66 which is 2/3 of 666 which is the mark of the beast....OH GOD! I'm the Antichrist!

Odd how the company of that certain some one can take us from doom and gloom to sunshine and roses. Sometimes all it takes is a call on my cell, a note in the kitchen, or seeing her picture on the dash and knowing she's home waiting.

I sometimes wonder it if is a burden to the soul soother knowing that but for her influence I would tread down a much darker road.

My enemies pray she out lives me! :)

Alone

Alone with my thoughts I stand and beckon a flame from my lighter
Pipe smoke rises before my eyes clouding the view ahead of me
My gaze is focused on nothing in particular, just tomorrow
Not that today is without interest or unworthy of my consideration
But the mystery of the days to come intrigue the dreamer in my soul
The wonder of life in the moment can pale in comparison to the imaginings of the writer?s mind especially if he is alone
Alone by choice is the mantra of the pathetic
Alone by circumstance, the burden of the lost
Alone for the week end, cruel and unusual punishment for a man in love
Idle hands are said to be the Devil?s workshop
An idle mind I fear is much more dangerous
For with the mind atrocities most heinous take to flight
Only the will of the thinker aborting their fruition
Stilling a hand bent on revenge for transgressions past
Denying the blade the taste of evildoers blood
Postponing the inevitable administration of justice
And the peace of mind their end will bring
Night falls darkening the room
But still my surroundings be brighter than my minds mood
Caffeine, nicotine and loneliness fuel the somber rage
My soul soother is nowhere to be found
Sounds of the night beckon for the prowl, the hunt
For beasts more evil even than myself
Their evil done, mine to come
The clouds break and a singular moon beam streaks through the blinds
It finds rest on the edge of the blade hanging on the wall
The blade destined to deliver mine enemies unto me
To demand restitution
To lay to rest the blood lust in my soul
A sword yet chaste but waiting
In the mean time my soul soother will return
She will calm the beast
The wicked will live on another day
Likely unhindered with guilt of mind and spirit from their evil deeds
But I know, I remember, I never forget, I will have my say
There is no forgiveness I will see justice served for myself
But not till I am ever alone
