Premium Member I am flat out of forgiveness

I would like to be charitable
Give you the benefit of the doubt
But your bullying ways have made this impossible
I am flat out of forgiveness now


Premium Member The Way We Were

We used to give the President 
  and the Presidency
    the benefit of the doubt

Now we doubt
  there's any benefit
    to the President
      or the Presidency

Benefit of the Doubt

benefit of the doubt
never truly given
misunderstandings 
were initiated
would never be forgotten
would never be forgiven 
would remain 
hidden underneath 
the rug of resentment 
forever never truly 
able to be swept 
away from memory

People on Paper

And everyone’s beautiful 
When they get bare and honest 
There’s a softness to each of them
A crafty humanity, some marks, some scars 
Hurt behind vanity 
Dreams and buried hopes
Passion disguised as smoke
When you peel away layers
And unbolt the barriers
Everyone I find irritating
 is beautiful

Dumb I am





Dumb I am but not throughout,
People benefit of the doubt,
can't take undue height,
dip me overnight,
See the beans perfectly sprout !

Trump's Inauguration

Some people are celebrating while others feel devastation.
I am happy because today is Donald Trump's Inauguration.
It's what some people want and what others resent.
Donald John Trump is now our forty-fifth President.
I support him as his Presidency begins to advance.
I believe that he should be given the benefit of the doubt, he deserves a chance.

Inequality

What gives anyone one the right
to deem others inequal by just one glance
or sight?

Trampling on their rights as if they were
nonexistent, just to prove a point or
make a statement?

The world is still divided in black and white,
forgetting all the other variables that exist,
refusing to give each other the benefit of the doubt,

When inequality makes an appearance,
nothing is ever fair, only assumptions that
cast people out of the loop.

Extending the benefit of the doubt
Means well at all times, looks for the positives
Peacemaking through careful listening; being upbeat
An effort to always work toward the greater good
Trustworthy, honest, open, selfless, caring,
Helping others to find their best self
Enthusiastic cheerleading for others
True caring for friends, relatives, and strangers on the street
Imaginative ways to uplift and inspire others
Clearly shows a love for fellow humans and animals in every action
