Wow I see are a very well read and educated practitioner of the English vocabulary,I on the other hand have a very short formal education and don't really read much I'm a tattoo artist pictures are my forte!but I'm a sharp tongued straght talking irishman that has never shyed Away from a beating.what I wanted to say is knowledge even in abundance is worthless if you can harness the wisdom to deliver the fruits "YOU CAN'T PUT A WISE HEAD ON YOUNG SHOULDERS" and secondly I was tought that to live for me be honest and true to yourself don't stop to get approval you design your own fate not the next man lastly impress not one person rather satisfy yourself in spite of the world its so much harder to live and deal with regret than it is to deal with failure this is my 5 cents that my grandfather tought me some might say "there's no fool like a old fool" but I say that old fool was feared and respected and dere I say it a man who live the rite way!

yes you have the well read part down rite but the rest is just tooooo much ethusiasm and a need to get rid of many old bad habits as a rule i think of none of this stuff. it usually is typed ex as dropped from pen however after many years of raging against the machine i am attempying to utilize my asets and admit to my faults would u believe i very much envy persons such as yourself who have a gift for visualart ps at 50 i believe i qualify very well as an old fool i dont suffer from insanity i enjoy it thank you by the
way

merci leigh

thank you as i may have mention i am happy if you like any pce. i do this as a way to improve my 'person' however it makes sense to appreciate others enjoying it tks again also thks to kc003 i hope noone is put out when the garbage appears laff the good the bad the ugly i do it all

as an example this is not what i started
perspective
To be a bird and see thru thier eyes, no colour,
perception shaped by need,perhaps would be no different than blindness. not knowing the difference unable to compare having no basis to decide. would this be worth the freedom of soaring-high above all that we dont understand have little use for
thiers is a world of black and white prosper or die winters bleak summers dry heat faced with a problem we decide to envy them without a clue blindly thinking that freedom doesnt carry its own bitter cost
i havnt a clue if they can see colour btw

more verbiage called homeless
Alone amoung us he stands like a lone charred lightning hit tree
he bled pain thru our eyes with his croooked stance with his plea
the torture of years past plain in ere contorted muscle as plain as the time etched lines carving his face
the pain in his voice was far by the worst no physical abuse could equal the emotions scarred,ripped,shredded and cut that took his voice thru every hurt and oh lord how it cut so quick to our conscience
how quick we were to bleed money out of are pockets and he laffed and scoffed and groweled at our pain and said stop buying fish and going home

hmm it is possible that you think i am saying that anyone who does not want change is a fool if so plz stand corrrected i am extremly well aware that change especially 2 much is no good either also once i had the time to dwell on what you said i realize i missed much of it i admire the way you put your thoughts forward and agree with just about most of it .i am no scholar grade 10 dropout.i am mostly doing this because i wrecked my back working 2 hard and the gov has agreed i have enuff mental problems to be labeled mentally handicapped an extreme concusion at 4-5 mths old may have contributed to my issues with impulse and inhibition or lack therof it is no different than being 2 short to reach the water fountain really... change to suit the enviro deal with it tks again for input

for no reason other than i can
contradiction
eyes closed to the past ...expecting a distant future..how i rail at that which deceives me into thinking i'm alone.....thought empty of promise fills my aching head with its echo....the words unclear a montage of images searing my blind eyes and now the voices are back insisting i listen to thier silent message

why bullying is taught in schools
pride goeth before a fall yes i remember that and the meek shall inherit the earth,do unto others yap yap yap
why is it these pithy sayings clearly show a lack of understanding the human nature.i'll never get ahead like that. get outta my way push and shove see just like that.....now im
getting somewhere and never mind the meek they can have the earth when i'm finished with it if they wish

see just empty words of no value other than to think and consider
this is fun for me and therapy

12:30
i gaze out my window arcs of light fading into the night yet the darkness does not touch me now errant noises do not disturb my reflections looking inward i see calm no eddies to carrry thoughts away i rest easy pacified by the soothing passage of words on to paper revealing my thoughts to me strange how we know so litle of ourselves the potential escapes us it is peacful now my mind like the lover who lies sated content with the feelings expended
would that i suffer this strange delusion more often without hiding away seeking solace in seclusion

i'm dating on mingle its hopeless i think
not the site just hope
twisting and turning like a vain in the wind
i try to explain the mess i am in
i've used up my self pity and started on angst
sooner or later i'll stop picking on myself
but til then i do what im good at
which is laf at myself it helps
but there are too many switches conductors and baggage
i'll still wish for a life but it wont matter
never again will i make the mistake
of shutting myself up
because of what people think.....

fabled aseop
the fox who sneered at the grapes he couldnt reach
tho wolf who cried foul so as to kill the sheep
the grasshopper who died for just skipping thru life
the scorpion killing the dog and dying as well
the 2 ***** and the donkey they had
the hunter skunked 3 times bleep bleep

isnt it silly we do not learn from historic tales and imagine its the times that create the people we read about in the papers
the nature of man has always been here

is it not that i question myself to discover my self worth
but self indulgance
do i help others as to gain thier attention
do i stand alone for fear of rejection
do i sharpen my wit to discourage opinion
do i write merely to pass the time
i hope not i fear so

POOR DUMB ANIMALS
no bottles no cans
no plastic bags
no rings around your neck
no nets in which to drown
no new drug tests

no mazes no needles
no living in tiny cells
no wearing you around our neck
no pesticides to damage your eggs
no beauty tests

no raping the land
no stealing your homes
no killing your babies for sport
no hunting you down for the rack on your head
good thing you cant reason
you blow us off earth

i eat meat i fish i believe in hunting for sustanance i would shoot a bear for its fur i would save the grease it would be easier if it wanted to eat me

my love for you is as a rose
heady intoxicatio in you i find
each petal slowly unfurling
to reveal a different side
yes there are thorns
i believe they are needed
lest complacency spring forth
and turn to dust that which i needed
your balm to my beleagured heart

i do apologize to any who find this upsetting or in real bad taste
Suicide by Shredder
Your light is extinguished
the warmth you gave so freely
now feeding the earths cool embrace
why did you burn out so soon
you gave us a security we toook for granted
always there guiding us
diminishing the darkness
that lurks in our hearts
we wish you did not feel the need
to change your existance
into one we do not comprehend
we will miss you bitterly
but remember with love in our hearts
your light your warmth
however even in death
your humour stinks
your last words
here i rest in pcs
comon

why is it easier to close my eyes to the truth
when i know i am stumbling around in the dark
do i prefer the pain i cause myself by not helping
am i so selfish even now that i hurt others rather than trying
it is so easy to believe that any good i do will be used by others
with no chance of recompense
yet if i could give freely without thought to reward
i would be free to do as i wish
why do i close my mind
why can i not accept the most basic premise of all
i will reap what i sow

i run from the truth i hide from the law
i put myself above others
but i am not so bad
it may be true i know it has beeen said
others are no better
this is small comfort
i wish to compare myself to my peers

misplaced money
oh my darling oh my angel oh the love of my life
let me kiss you and clasp you to my breast
i will never leave you in that please trust me
there will never be another you are everthing to me
how could i share you with another
i've sought you all my life
let us join in blissful existance
i treasure you you empower me others envy my life with you in it
you are the object of my desire you keep me awake all night
join with me and add your offspring to my life
for you are my hearts one true love
i wish to add all the beauty you can provide
lifes not worth living without you by my side

again just words sarcastic perhaps but remember i said the good bad and ugly

i went to the barroom to buy me a beer just a little time away from my wife my dear she's driving me crazy i'm going insane i just see my life wasted my hopes all in vain
it all started real simple i dont understand the mess yes i'm guilty as hell i must confess yet if we'rre together wouldnt it figure that we work it out that we share what we do here
im beginning to think that the only fact that matters is the size of the bulge in my back pants pocket
if i am her all the love of her life why do we try so hard to impress all the others
yes i can see that status improves the jist of our lives but why must we move i don't like this house so empty and bleak yes i know you fill it each week with empty snide people they gossip behind your back did know they are saying your *** is as fat as my wallet shurely must be
get a grip keep it together i mutter as i drain my glass and order another this could be a problem i begin to think what if i go home and blurt it all out
if love is blind this match made in heaven is one helluva eye opener my dear god forever
oh well off i go jiggity jig ha you thought i was gonna say home to the pig
no i still love her and always will she says she loves me to death and maybe thats better
