As I See It As I Have Heard It

As I see it !!! As I have heard it !!! You say !, you have written !, “ I do not lie ! ”. On many, many an occasion, I have stood by, and listened to many – over the years – a lying word. In all honesty ?, you cannot deny this is what I have heard. Where is it coming from ?, habit ?, a need to survive a past ?, what you need to hide from ?, a method to stay alive ? It continues to remain within, as today harbors the past that should be buried – not so, for today it cast it’s troubled shadow all over my day, my hour over my heart, my spirit – my soul continues to tower. I look into, I see the future, – after fifty three years – for you, then, now and tomorrow nothing but tears. These words, from me, I realize, feel like spears and you want not filling your eyes, your ears. B. J. “A” 2 May 18th 2006
