Uncertainty

UNCERTAINTY

A Poem by Debbie_Philly
 
" A matter Of Trust "
 
                         Uncertainty
 
 
Everyday in everyway
Words, action, thoughts
Get twisted to fit the play
 
Honesty, integrity, truth
             HONOR
         Those words
 The meanings are so far
 From the lips of today’s
          Fellow man
 
 There was a time when
   Someone would say
  “I give you my word”
       They meant it
 
   My mind is encased
   With the intentions
          Of others
 The paths they lead to
     Are rarely golden
 
We must open our hearts
     Open our minds
    To another time
   When men stood
   
      For something
   Stood by their words
Said them with conviction
   Stuck by their actions
 
I do not see this in the
Eyes and minds of todays
               Man
    It breaks my heart
 
I sure as hell never wanted
          To die alone
These days one never knows

Theresa Stephens February 5, 2014 at 5:13 AM Hi Debbie, Congratulations on achieving No. 1 position. I have often thought the same sentiments. There seems to be something basically wrong in praising rude behaviour and denigrating good. You are a truly an enlightened soul. God bless you in your life. I truly hope you shall find the inspiration to write more poetry to awaken the dulled senses of some of the misguided souls we may find ourselves involved with as we travel through this world together. Regards Theresa xx Debbie Mills-Kelly February 5, 2014 at 1:03 PM What a beautiful comment Theresa thank you so much... it means allot to me that you took the time to read my piece... I will be over to visit you as well... Thank you so much again and have a beautiful day !! :)

Chris Boskovski February 4, 2014 at 8:05 PM A great poem, I agree with you Debbie. A great write, as always. Lovely as fresh roses in full bloom in the month of May! :) xoxo Debbie Mills-Kelly February 5, 2014 at 1:04 PM Awww Chris thank you so much... you are always very sweet !! :)

Richard Lamoureux February 4, 2014 at 6:25 PM I believe there are many honorable men and women who's words hold meaning. I so often hear people in my age group talk about the young people of today and how they are somehow less honorable than our generation. From my experience I can say there are amazing young people and I think the future holds great possibilities. I enjoyed your thought provoking poem Debbie Mills-Kelly February 5, 2014 at 1:06 PM Thank you so much Richard... I really appreciate you coming over to read me and I will be over to see you :) YEs I agree... allot of men have honor in their words... but at the time I was dealing with the ones who dont ;) Thank you again !!

Robby's Multimedia Poetry February 4, 2014 at 5:05 PM This reminds me a bit of my poem "Golden Age" which focuses on how people focus on a time that never was, an idealized white picket fence with a happy family with 2.5 kids going to a great college sort of time. Debbie Mills-Kelly February 4, 2014 at 5:13 PM Thanks Robby and Welcome.... yea I wrote more on a personal level but allot of people read it differently and its great.. I love to hear what people get out of my pieces ... Thanks again... will be over to see you !!

Robert Pettit February 4, 2014 at 1:43 AM Honesty, truth, integrity, and honor are rare commodities. They always have been, and always will be. That's why there are so many used car salesmen and politicians around. Debbie Mills-Kelly February 4, 2014 at 5:05 PM Hey Robert... Thank you again so much for reading me... I like seeing you here !! :)
