My earlier poem

The poem before this (was not a easy write!) Yet in it I was
Being as genral as I cuuld..Covering as many realitys
As i could as I agonized over word placement.' Wishing
Not to offend any ' apart from evil entitys' i also know many
People are polite.' Which has led in part to 'where we are'
Well played upon ( this factor in con-vid ) by the n g o's if
You remember it was all about idividual choice? and not
Pushing your view on others.' Then there was the 90's trope
We need migrants to do the 'dirty or hard jobs' because you people...You are better than that.! You are more worthy, that
Was playing to your (proud-ness) I thought about that then?
Yet also considered there were level heads somewhere? to
Counter it..' Boy was I wrong.!! So what to do.? Be polite and watch the show.? No no no and no!! Of course I accept
All people as they are.! The spirit is what is important.' And
Its hurt is often reflected in outward appearance signs etc
So let there be less cause of misunderstanding.? Of who
Orchestrates our attacks.? And so I write on internal things
Really' that infernal things manipulate' feelings and desires
Whatever? In so many ways we are assulted.' ( we ) not you
Or them..Us we.) do I cry inside.? Do I? Well who can see?
So I will tell you 'that I do' and I pray also..And I cant rest
Because of my earlier write in case it offends? Yet I'm confronted by the work of satan in so many fields of life
I leave it there..All blessings to any reader.' Not that I can
Do a thing ( yet the Holy Spirit does all things good)

Truth is never impolite, nor polite. It is what it is. And people read themselves into or out. The only way to change hearts, minds...is to shine. Sad truth. Nothing can be done by one's self. To take the challenge, in a sense, make a challenge a personal burden, is to surely fail. Strength is, to step aside, trusting entirely in God. Does not mean not to be pro active -- it means simply, to let God entirely lead. I know, easier said than done. Spent my entire, painful life, making a warrior of myself...when surrender, is the only answer. True trust in God and not self. Anyway...I am probably all wrong. Just what works best for me, maybe. Blessings.

What a sincere and soulful poem this is dear Joe , it isnt easy being polite in a world that is so cold but we try, and not many would see our inner battles and how we struggle within in silence too. Youv expressed very well and i hear a compassionate kind and thoughtful voice through this poem! Pleasure reading, visiting your page! Sending you light always

I found it a hard write dear Dear fellow souper..I myself Have been in the fug?? Of Lifes push and pull.!! And generally humans respond to love..' The world I find feeds out a stream of bad advice by example however Not being perfect I do not Pomtificate at least i intend not to.' Help us Lord we are In need of Good minded leaders at least.'
