Worth remembering
Into darkness without my friend, Every hardship has an end. But to struggle alone, when you ask for help… breaks the bond you both have felt. No person is worth more, than what they give. So when you reach the end , will you also be missed?...

Double Standards
The silence is deafening. The Devil capers madly. Soldiers revel in atrocities. Demons slaughter the innocents. The silence becomes thunderous. Beasts brutalise the oppressed. Their resistance is legendary. Famine stalks the rubble. The silence is shattered! Strangers fight the iniquity. Nations condemn the deaths. … Still the murders continue. The silence is deafening… How is this “war”? The victims are blamed. The “chosen people”, praised. Are all lives not equal?...

Why do we think it’s bad when other folks do it While we persist in justifying our flagrant ways? I suspect we cannot see our own shortcomings Their misbehaviors despicable, ours merely flings. Written March 20, 2022...

Double Standards
In a situational disaster disintegrating faster I need a little chat with a mate, I got a bastard! Who can't give his hand, time is precious on demand, not a fan of understanding, he'll dis you and abandon. Write it off as senseless, and somewhat unimportant, distance himself from involvement and ignore it. When you tell him your problem, he'll tell you it's not one, your...

If It Weren'T For Double Standards
A mob of angry activists go and deface a public street, they painted that ‘Black Lives Matter,’ and the mayor said,”That’s fine with me.’ But when someone spoke of baby lives they would not let them have their say, when some sought to say ‘Blue Lives Matter,’ the authorities dragged them away. They’re supposed to serve rights equally, but only will if you are...

At the bar the double standard Shirtless men,...

What does 'clever' mean? Is it to fix a machine Is it the ability to sing Is it to know everything What is it? What does 'nice' imply? Is it the resistance to lie Is it never to criticise Is it the skill to advise What is it? What does 'pretty' suggest? Is it the gift...

I stand at temptations door... As anger spurs a grievance withheld. Surreptitiously you praise the incongruent While flinging to the wayside the valuable. Eyes closed to the importance of veracity, You belabor simplicity with objectivity denounced As you are drawn only to the iconoclastic. I long to visualize cronyism obliterated. The Contest sponsor Jerry T. Curtis My feelings about those N/A's...

You don't miss a slice off a cut loaf At least that's what most cheaters would say. But they're not talking about their wives Because in their minds they have surmised That their wives would never view life this way So if this is a carved in stone fact About how all of our wives would react I for one...
