To Weave the Hangman's Rope

~~~We the People Seriest~~~] 

We sow what we weave as we weave a woven cloth. 
May it be from threads of kindness; and not of uttered wroth. 

May peace, goodwill, and joy be the only words spoken; 
while the threads are being bounded__ and tightly interwoven. 

We pray that love is the strongest thread of this mighty rope. 
We ask for a few stitches of happiness and a few of healthy hope. 

Let us find a strand of salvation, and the entire breath of its' 
scope. 
A thread so bright it shines its light from here to kingdom 
come. 
And when were are done but not outdone, together All as one; 
let us light the flames of justice so it completely goes up 
in smoke. 

We need to send a message that the rope you weaves' aware; 
it's for you as you desire; and of your own personal affair. 

For all the efforts you put in it; is the only things 
you'll achieve. 
To give of it what you'll get from it; is the only things 
you'll receive. 

As for now your fate is sealed; sadly you have much to 
grieve. 
There's no getting out of it, unless there's a miracle 
up your sleeve. 

May I say so, that you failed to know__ just how the 
story goes; 
that each of us are the cost of our personal pain, 
worry and woes. 
By the cruel and evil things that__ from your very 
mouth was said; 
had fluffed pillows and spread the sheets from your 
very own bed. 

Around your neck the rope is tied tightly in a knotted 
loop. 
But our love redeemed answered prayers, and you're 
taken in one quick swoop. 

To hang a man is horrible; and never should be done. 
If you wish it upon anyone; may it be you as the one.

Strangely enough... one day while taking a long long bath after a longer day at work..... I started thinking of things, aloud, and could not shut up... so I started writing it down. So ummm... a 9 years ago during a Calgon moment I'd say. Then I put the book away for 8 years... this year I found my book and started again. It comes and goes. I think I better take it seriously and learn about what I'm doing... I thought, aloud, to myself... so here I am.

Your are such a profoundly deep thinker, my poetic friend. "A thread so bright it shines its light from here to kingdom come. And when were are done but not outdone, together All as one". BRAVO!

I was a quiet child but always had my ears open. You can learn a lot being a fly on the wall. But don't ask me about algebra, I think I got stuck in the fly trap... I'm still in Mr. Healy's classroom!
