Romancing Pain

"Abraham, you hurt me deeply, failed me, betrayed me, and made my heart weep.
I thought I could trust, but you proved me wrong,
Took me for granted, didn't care strong.

But still, I forgive, not for you, but me,
To heal my heart, set my soul free.
I won't hold onto pain, won't retaliate,
I'll rise above, don't need your hate.

You changed me, made me see,
Despite the hurt, I'll let go and be.
I'll ignore the pain, forgive, and move on,
Find myself, and a brand new dawn.

Thanks for the lesson, though it was hard,
You made me stronger, and my heart scarred.
I'll use this pain to grow and learn,
And find my way, and a brand new turn."

Thats Not Very Kind

I have to rethink, regroup and retaliate
That is not very kind said my brother Nate
The money she stole came out of your bank
Nate called up two more thugs – Dickie and Hank

They hatched a plan to get it all back
And by golly, they kept that plan on track
I hope you did it kindly I said to him.
He gave me a smirk, a shake and a grin.

Can We Avoid It?

Don't you understand what I'm trying to say
Can't you feel the fears I'm feeling today?
If the button is pushed, there's no runnin' away
There'll be no one to save with the world in a grave
Take a look around you boy, it's bound to scare you, boy
From “Eve of Destruction” by Barry McGuire

Can We Avoid It?

The genie is out of the bottle.
It cannot be put back.
The Doomsday Clock is closer to midnight.

Iran is closer to the bomb.
“Death to America and Israel”
Israel can retaliate in kind.

India and Pakistan
Can annihilate each other
With mushroom clouds of death.

The incompetent Russian military
Continues to stumble and fall
Putin now rattles his nuclear sword.

Once the button is pushed
There is no running away
No one will be left to save

Let us fervently pray we can avoid it!

Rules

We all love to hate this word itself forever on this earth.
The fact is actually we fail to understand its true worth.

As a child we were always surrounded by rules everywhere.
As we grow we tend to retaliate but still rules maintain their share.

Rules are never liked by most of us but sometimes they are good to follow.
We can for sure live our lives without them but we miss things we think we know.

Rules may it be good or badt will always be there and dictate on us.
So we like or not we need to follow them so stop making it big fuzz.

In from the Past

Just like some to be playing the game
Always on the lookout for fortune and fame
They've said you could never change your name
And that is something you would not explain

The tarot card reader claims to know your fate
Once you thought you could change but now it's too late
Nothing more to do but retaliate
Against all it is to which you can't relate

Sometimes there will be those debts to repay
Yet if one is lucky they will just fade away
And then there will be other games for to play
When all of the rules will come from yesterday

Then, again, you might just return by design
You could say you had simply been given a sign
It had come when all the stars happened to align
But then, maybe, the past was just not your time

Food play

     The carrots jumped up and grabbed my nose,
     Swatted them back down with my toes!
     Spinach curled round my fork,
     Had two eyes!
     I knew it was alive.
     The peas lined up across the plate,
     Waiting for the spoon to retaliate!
     "Quit playing with your food, momma said,
     Or I'll have to send you off to bed!"
     It's not me!
     The food on my plate will not stay still!
     Attacks me,
     At will!
     As the steak marched across the plate,
     I stabbed it quick,
     Before my mother could state,
     "Off to bed with you!
     Playing with food will never do!"
     So off to bed I went.
     It's a good thing,
     The jellybeans parachuted in.
     Now I'll have some dinner.
     The end!

YouTube and Chris Hodge

YouTube and Chis Hodge 

It came as a surprise to me that Chris Hodge 
has been banned on YouTube, a man of knowledge 
worth listening to
He is an honest intellectual; as such, it is hard
not to be critical of the Jewish negative influence 
in the world we inhabit 
Of course, I see on Facebook that I have become
skeptical of, the wiseman Chomsky often appears 
his criticism of Israel doesn't plow a deep furrow 
The Iranian attack on Israel was a warning 
as they couldn't let the Israelis bomb their
embassy go unnoticed.
I fear, since the Jews are always righteous and hard
done by, will retaliate, thinking by pushing the envelope 
further, will get the USA involved
This will not be too difficult, as the Jewish lobby 
practically runs the US's foreign policy, and for us
who have a dim view of Israel and are not optimistic

No 82 - Domestic Violence begins with what you teach them !

There's no debate.  Don’t retaliate
If she makes you so mad, uses all the patience you had,
Dear son - Walk the other way!
If she hits you first , so your anger will burst,
If she blocks you, so you can’t leave, please believe,
My manly son – walk the other way !!!

More Than I Believe

Alone I live
Force to learn some type of lesson
Force to think outside my box
Forced to stare at these four walls
Everything I love is outside these walls
But I have built them so high so strong
It is the foundation I build apon today
Forced to make a change
Forced to see my mistakes
Forced to wallow in my own tears
Depressed I am
But it is not at all what you see
I hide these thoughts in my head
I search for a reason I build it higher
I Force myself to see what is not there
And not look beyond my own fear
When you are forced to change
You retaliate you blame everyone
But when I was forced to see all I became
It enlightened me forced me to see that I need to be so much more better for them
So now a force it just a little shove in the direction I need to be
The course of redemption I seek
The time for me to finally see I am more then I believe.

Immunity

Listen to the racket of resounding lies
that reverberate within your polluted mind,
where another truth is battered and dies.

I have dragged out the casualties of ethical beliefs,
and with disgust for their loss, expressed my grief
while your actions and words of which lies are replete
became the truth’s death, tossed around like trash on the street.

When I speak, the words spoken are poison for you to hear,
and they ignite your temper and strip your comfort— 
the burden of truth’s casualties is always onerous to bare.

So, you retaliate with fury and come after me 
as if I am doing wrong by admitting the truth in what I see.
And the fact is that I can see the malice in your eyes—
how your actions and words are perniciously personified. 

I can see behind your mask nobody else can see,
your veiled intentions and secrets—
the epitome of shameless duplicity.

When you smile, there is no warmth or glow,
it is the mask of deceit that you always show.
So, while others remain fooled and praise your name, 
I’ll NEVER be swayed by your fabricated fame!

The Right To Retaliate

The right to retaliate.

Is this a human right
Or wrong? Hurt me,
I suffer. This is not 
a shared experience.

Knowing pain and anguish, 
Being human, 
Can I inflict 
The same on you?

Can I fight your hate with love?
Can I hold you close 
until your heart melts
And sees my world?

The wounds are deep,
I am scarred, and 
Bear the marks of your hate.
Can my hate be turned to love?

Hate and evil
Lie side by side
Love and good 
Have no bed.

Hate and evil
Comfort each
Other with
Might and right.

Love and good
Rest in the heart
Of humanity
And the meek shall inherit the earth.

Never Again, Again

Who defended Jews from Nazis in WW2
     A few brave souls here and there
   Foul-smelling smoke from crematoria arose
     The masses turned aside, held their nose

   Only dirty Jews being gassed, burnt, chopped up and flayed
     Only unclean Jewish women being gang-raped by the SS night and day
   Only Jewish genitals being irradiated in sexual experiments
     Only 'Jew-dogs' ~ their essence, filth and excrement 

   Today, Islamists shout 'Allah Akhbar,' then slaughter
     Jewish grandmas, wives, babies, sons and daughters
   The West cowers, labels them 'militants,' not terrorists
     Israel, retaliate: Shoot every Hamasnik dead
                     ~ Not a single one can you afford to miss

Not Me Being Gruff

N egative messages
O n going harrassments
Tensions unending start

Miraculously bullied intimidated
Endless referrals

Basically stocked yet non retaliate
Execrable in so being left-alone
Iow grade honorable cowardice
Now likely to defend themselves
Gentle forbearing acceptance now easygoing

Guilting into shame
Resting now tolerant patient indulgent
Undemandling compromising forbearing
Friendly now in full repentant acceptance
Falling out of intimidating coercion arm-twisting constraint

For Mothers To Weep

It is better to fight 
Than to live like this
So attack Israel 
For us we will persist

So rockets rain down
And civilians die
As Hamas hunts down people
As death to them is the cry

The sky is lit up again
As the Israelis retaliate 
And it is for mothers weep
For death in a war is up to fate

So again we wonder about peace
On a planet where war is complete
And the only way forward for some
Is at the point of gun in terrorist deceit.

Water and Earth

Emotional is Water, for like its tides,
it’s moving constantly from high to low.
Like people on those roller coaster rides,
waves rise up very high and then they go
crashing down, but with Earth, it’s not the same,
for Earth is mostly stable – immovable,
but Earth, when meeting Water, has a name.
That name is Mud! It’s highly provable.
Imagine Earth, unruffled and so calm
meets moody Water, pelting it as Rain.
Earth does not retaliate. Drop a bomb?
No, it takes IN Water, for Earth is sane.
When Earth and Water marry, they but need
the warmth of Sun; then they can grow a seed!
