The unspoken,
can say so much,
and say so little.
The unspoken,
can be interpreted or misinterpreted
in many ways.
And yet!
In the end!
What was never said,
was never heard!
Is the unspoken,
that was told!
Dissensions of one's character often
are directed to one's individuality. In one's
thoughts, opinions are the results of miscalculations
and thoughtless misreadings, perceptions of
misinterpreted reason. Why oh why, Why oh why
One can't define nor for cast one's motivation to
misjudge.
No offense.
None taken of course because you are a futz.
They said that you said that she said that we said….
I do not want to tell you this but....
I roll my eyes.
"You are a middle school aged futz with white hair," I tell him.
"No offense but, I think you need to know..."
Suddenly he realizes I have been trying to interject something.
It was not important before, but now he realizes I have stopped listening.
He stares at me.
"I am a what?"
"You are a futz," I tell him.
"Why would you say that?" Mr. Instigator asks me.
Because on this site, I cannot use the P, that's why, I think.
I met a guy he offered me sex on the beach
But I didn’t want sand in places it shouldn’t reach
I turned him down but all he could say ….
Was…..
I was offering you a cocktail and not a lay!

“…and David sent someone to find out about her. The man said, “She is Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam
and the wife of Uriah the Hittite.” 2 Sam 11:3 NIV
David’s sins misinterpreted
The character of God.
For his sins towards Bathsheba
Dishonored his precious Lord.
But when the prophet, Nathan
Was called by God to give reproof,
David repented with deep sorrow;
His remorse no longer aloof.
God exalted David—
This one time shepherd boy;
Made him ruler over Israel ,
With a great army to deploy.
David surrendered to adultery;
Desired another man’s wife.
When she was found to be pregnant,
Sent her husband into his battle for life.
Uriah, Bathsheba’s husband
Was killed, as David had intended.
David greatly loved Bathsheba;
His palace to her he extended.
When David realized his sin,
Conveyed to him by Nathan,
He begged God’s forgiveness
For the sins of a complete pagan.
All sin misinterprets
The character of God above.
For his character is his law,
Based upon his awesome love.
So when we yield to temptation,
We glorify the evil one;
Misinterpret God’s character
And deny the great sacrifice of his Son.
