In all honesty I look for the ulterior motive, because in today's world nine chances out of ten there is one behind it, people just aren't that kind anymore, sad but true...interesting question.

ha ha, I went to the first annual poetry reunion of a site I moderate, I rode my motorcycle (sportsbike) the whole way to Ohio (Lorain) and I know exactly what I was thinking.....that ride was awesome, but I'm too old for this s--t.....

this is my soul

You Can't Hurt me

Resounding echoes awaken the child
demons in the attic beckon unto him
stark fear grips his Vick's laden chest
shivers vibrate rusty springs of down

footsteps creak closer upon loose floorboards
while steamed filled pipes play taps
a somber teddybear snarls
causing the world to be still

foolish nuns, God doesn't want to "get me"

the sting of a ruler splinters a left hand
blood spurts upon faces of laughter
evil little boy too wicked for a mother
affliction runs in the family

Florence became flop because she always fell
polio never whipped her ***
just abused her now and then
she healed with a smile

Even humility has its price

Jimmy Dean wore sunglasses
maybe his eyes were bloodshot
or maybe he was a child of an alcoholic
and they became part of his attire

degenerate eye disease, masturbation
spattering or battering
does it really matter when you can't see
or understand the difference between ADD and ADHD

Psych 101: Crack can be Prozac

Iron gates surround a new residence
protecting the innocent who peer from outside
rehabilitation means refining bad habits
like those on the outside who have mastered them

twelve years of bars and games people play
provide an education unto itself
seclusion can be the deciding factor
between murder or suicide

self righteous judges choose life

recidivism is a revolving door
of vicious cycles with no engines
only propellers called co-dependants
or co-defendants, take your pick

life repeats itself over and over
only the circumstances change
yet the merry-go-round stops
when the flowers are arranged

Why are most tombstones gray

scared, afraid to die
are you saved?
from what, ourselves
you can't hurt me

if I told you my reality you'd say I have a great imagination, if I told you my imagination you'd say I've lost touch with reality.....

It doesn't get any darker than the soul of a poet. Poe is the forefather

I have never watched them before, only did so last night to see The award ceremony for Michael Jackson and I'm glad I did, I got a chance to see one of the greatest performances by a singer that I've ever seen in my life......The singer "Pink" put on one epic performance and stole the show, it was awesome, if you didn't get a chance to see it, track it down and watch it, you won't be disappointed.....it was unbelievable......

hmmmmmm take another look. Some of the ones justifying this are of "other" religions.

I'm pro-choice only because I know what it is like in certain situations

^I'm native american Indian on my mothers side, what religion would you like me to list:) as to the person who brought up women having to carry a fetus without a brainstewm full cycle, hardships are part of life, life being the key word, should we therefore automatically abort anything that isn't perfect within an ultrasound....Imagine Wilma Rudolph with her crooked leg being aborted, or maybe Obama because he was mulata, or anyone that didn't fit the all american child to be.....well they shoot horses don't they, so I guess it's ok to put everyone out of there misery before they even get to experience being miserable....

support me, pfft...I stand on my own two feet and always have, I don't need your support nor anyone else's to think for myself. However for arguments sake, let's just say you have you thoughts and I have mine and leave it at that.....

secretion, look it up...sheesh

very contradictory dear woman, yet you're ok for a jury and a putz of a judge to decide his fate right, it is not for them to judge either, but I guess we must have consequences mustn't we?

although I believe he had accepted the consequence of his action before he took it.

^and in the end he has my respect for that, he did what he did because his conscience couldn't take it any longer.....Kudos to him for marching into hell for what he deemed a heavenly cause.....I'f he can live with it, so can I, am just thankful he didn't miss.....what can I say, if I didn't want to forfeit my life, I'd kill all the abortionists too, the molestors and rapists as well, would it be just in this world of political correctness, certainly not, but I'd feel a lot better...How selfish of me:)

I think a better analogy would be if one shot the local prison switchman who pulls the switch on the electric chair. His ONLY purpose in his job is to take away life

^in all respects he's a murderer too, regardless whether legal or not....

it doesn't take a PROLIFER to see an unjust occurence, fate is a funny thing in life, maybe it was his sole purpose to rid the world of a mass murderer...wow, miss harmony, I suppose you thought the initial Rodney King verdict was just as well, after all it was done in a court of law, the law can be wrong too, as seen in the pittsburg police thread.....anyhow, I'm with the person who said, who cares, the world is rid of a mass murderer...It's funny how the women have a problem accepting that term when it comes to late abortions, but sorry, that's exactly what it is.....

"WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Jurors swiftly convicted an abortion opponent of murder Friday for shooting to death one of the only doctors to offer late-term abortions in the U.S., a killing the gunman claimed was justified to save the lives of unborn children

^and personally I agree, hell we kill people abroad for their religious convictions, why not kill murderers of babies as well....pfft......

unfortunately this behavior happens far too much nowadays, there's a CRIPPLED teacher that walks past my house every school day, he wasn't crippled 3 years ago, he was breaking up a fight outside the school when a girl grabbed him from behind and broke his neck, he still teaches. When I volunteered as a "safe corridor" I broke up many fights between middle school kids, and it's amazing they "the students" would gather around and you had to fight your way to the combatants. I'd always tell them, break it up, because you won't like it if I do. I only had to ever break one up, they didn't like it....however words of advice, be careful...we live in a lawsuit world, but me I don't care, sue me, if you want to act like an a.s.s you get treated like an a.s.s......in these types of situations it can get ugly real quick, you need eyes in back of your head and on the sides too, but sad to say every school needs a goon squad nowadays. A group of adults selected to manage just this type of thing.....The girl in your case should be expelled immediately and sent to a reformatory where she'll get her equal and then some.....and all the teachers who refused to come to your aid, should be fired on the spot....just my opinion...Yes I know teachers are hired to teach, but they are also responsible for the welfare of the children and that includes seperating them in brawls or whatever, or getting help to do so.

as was said above, it's not your fault, by getting it out and talking about it you can start to heal, however if you contionue to beat yourself up over it you'll remain a victim for the rest of your life, it happened, now move on and chalk it up to experience and know that the low life who did it will always be a low life, but you don't have to allow him to continue to control you through a memory you don't even have....Give yourself a hug, and say, oh well lesson learned....Be safe

how do you know if you were raped if you dont remember anything?

^women know by secretion, and even if she consented while under the influence of a drug that she didn't administer herself that is considered rape.

no I didn't misunderstand anything, you're a person who lives in a black and white world or would like to without grey areas, you want life and its course to be predictable, it just isn't gonna happen and thank God, how boring would that be.....anyhow like I said, to each their own, this isn't about abortion per say, but about a man who takes pride in the fact that his Mother went against the odds and he appreciates the opportunity to continue to show her she made the right CHOICE, and what's wrong with him expressing that.....Nothing

good point, they can run their own commercial, as to the person who feels humanity is best served by some abortions due to what may or may not happen later in life, to each their own....It's not even worth the debate.

Hendrix, Clapton....need anymore be said

it was basically the same old tired a.s.s. rhetoric he's been uttering since before his election, now it's time to shut the hell up and put up....the problem with Mr. President is he's got all these great ideals and not a damn clue how to implement them, course it's not entirely his fault either, I blame every senator, representative and every tax payer for not holding them all accountable. When will the citizens of the U.S. finally stand up and say enough is enough and take back their country before any more of it is sold off abroad.....americans have gotten far too complacent, we need more abby hoffmans and eldridge cleavers

apparently some women groups are trying to block the upcoming commercial for the superbowl in which Tim Tebo the highly touted quarterback from Florida says how glad he is that his mother didn't take the doctors advice and have an abortion.....I'll bet almost everyone associated with Florida University feels the same way.....with all the current issues in america and abroad, you'd think these putz's would focus their attentions elsewhere.....

when I was a tadpole I tried to be everything to everybody just to be accepted and in the end "lost myself" it took 30 plus years and a mirror to discover who I really was. You just have to look past the reflection deep into your soul, you're in there somewhere and you'll be amazed at all the good things you'll find about yourself, expand on those and then go out and have the time of your life, as you have been witness to (sadly) life is far too short not to enjoy it to the fullest....Good luck and be safe.....

The only person who can stop you from being you is you
