S O S

S.O.S
pad to scrape
away my face 
and any link
to this human
race to bleed
the earth
of all its grace
i can barely
submit to being
never mind 
being party to
this repugnant
chase

Demetrios Trifiatis Date: 3/3/2017 7:27:00 AM Even if we have only for once exclaimed how beautiful life is then we have justified all that life brings! We should never give up! Very powerful S O S dear, Maureen! Login to Reply Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Date: 3/3/2017 8:16:00 AM I am filled with love and awe, which is why I am also filled with rage. Thank you always for your kindness and wisdom, you are dear Demetrios, a beautiful example of being.

Joseph May Date: 3/3/2017 6:04:00 AM I like how you used the S.O.S...We are badly in need of rescue ... but we are sliding down a slippery slope... Login to Reply Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Date: 3/3/2017 6:36:00 AM Yup xomo

Judy Ball Date: 3/3/2017 4:08:00 AM Ah But No Pain No Gain my friend. As they say we must take the bad with the good or vice versa. I used to have a shirt with a picture of a little girl on it who had dropped the ice cream off her cone. The caption was: PRAISE THE LORD ANYHOW. A good way to look at this life. Good stuff here . God Bless, JB Login to Reply Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Date: 3/3/2017 6:35:00 AM I like your shirt! I want one that reads "Future Fossil Fuel", taking the bad and doing the best you can with it, like writing a poem. Thank you Judy, bless you too xomo

Emile Pinet Date: 3/2/2017 3:31:00 PM Your words speak with the power of anger and frustration and your mind set flows onto the page and we can reflect on the scope of your message within our lives.

Chris Green Date: 3/2/2017 2:28:00 PM One man's trash is another man's treasure they say, though I'm not sure that really applies here. There is still so much beauty to be found in my opinion though there is also a lot of ugliness too. Nicely expressed Maureen.

Being human really is a spectacular thing. Cheers Chris and Ty xomo

Frederic Parker Date: 3/2/2017 2:00:00 PM and yet with each breath we take it allows us to view the garbage created by our own hands Login to Reply Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Date: 3/2/2017 2:09:00 PM Well, those of us with eyes open. Ignorance really is bliss, though that said, perhaps am finding bliss on top of the garbage heap, the view is spectacular! ;)
