The I Have It All Together Blues

That oh so never ever ending, wondrous egotistical mystery! With others pretending they have their lives oh, so together over thee? Spare me, obnoxious perfection soul pounders. Whose joy in life,is to pity, moralize and besmirch others. There you are, on your fake, egomaniacal throne! Moralist divine, whose insidious throne should be overthrown. Walk in another man or woman's shoes. Before you beat your chest with that phoney," I have it all together," blues. 2/8/2021 ~1~ "Judge not, lest you be judged, also!"

I really like that title -- The I Have It All Together Blues. Go get your guitar and start plucking! :) gw

Hello Gershon. Sooo glad you liked the title. I get along well with people who realize they are not perfect. I steer clear from those who have all the answers, I like ordinary folks. I only have my grandsons guitar. Doesn't work well. I did study guitar with Win Stracke at The Old Town School of Music. I have sung before groups and at parties. Alas, I lost my guitar. Thank you for stopping by. I am still plucky though. Panagiota

Oh, how right you are. I have dents in my skuu from all the castings of aspersions. The arrogance people have...wow. No peace with such attitudes. Golly. Off to eat lunch...Irene says hello to you. Your input appreciated with gratitude!! Pangie

Darlene, truly, how wise you are....false pride cometh before the fall, as it is written. It's easy to judge someone's life.but as you say, we have not walked it their shoes. Thank you for your insight and comment this morning. Panagiota xxoo
