Well do forgive myself if you could
\ni pick aggressively at words
\nthese days
\nalive in the shades of 1984
\nif you twist i will turn
\nyour very own words back to you
\nwhen you change the subject i will bring it back
\nwhen you huff and puff i will turn away
\nand write a story…<\/p>\n
my honorable friend, for a cup of coffee,
\nwill debate me with an honorable voice
\nif our levels climb they climb together
\nin mutual understanding
\nwe never hit that note
\nof attack the messenger, both agreeing
\nstop signaled is stop meant.<\/p>\n
my honorable friend has yet to learn
\nin the parting there is the last word
\nand the question of what it means to have it
\nyou know…
\nthe last word
\nwell how many goodbyes does it take to go
\nhow many goodbyes before one says hello
\nhow many treasures can a treasure chest hold?
\nWhat is the heart hunting for?
\nForgiveness? Validation? Vindication?
\nWildness? Safety? Acceptance? Companionship? Adventure?<\/p>\n
yesterday i say that i am happy to be living alone
\nthis lonely heart is stalking misusers of words
\nin the beginning was the word
\nand some people learned the power of the word
\nand some did not and those that knew the power
\nused it on the people who did not
\nand that is why a democracy that truly believes
\nwe the people can Rule ourselves (and we leave open our Rules
\nin order to alter them as we learn to negotiate our disputes)
\nand we believe in education for the masses – the Big 3
\nReading, Writing and Arithmetic…
\n“They” have fooled most of the people most of the time
\nuntil now the hand writing on the wall is indelible
\n“In order to form a more perfect union…”
\nwill not be flumboggled with…
\nWhat is a good name for a manipulator of words?
\nThe Deceiver, The Great Deceiver, The Almighty Deceiver?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
