Hearts are patched up
stitched tight
yet
small perforations
may
let in
that strange light
that is not light
like God is not God
Love is not a Band Aid
love doesn’t heal
it cocoons self-inflicted
wounds
it maintains the hurt
at acceptable levels
Rubber bullets
in time
wound the shooter
If your heart is big
you're going to need
more bandages
You may occasionally
stub a toe on love
however
you're more likely
to lose the ability
to walk or talk sensibly
No one ought to -
should
blame you
for this predicament
this
situation
...but they will
vERMEN THE vERMITT
sOMETHING GOING ON
pLEASE DON'T GET ME WRONG
SEEMS IT'S JUST A LITTLE BIT
FOOLISH TO ME
BEHIND THE SHRUB
AND BEHIND THE TREES
THERE WATCHING YOU AND ME
IT'S THE ANTIOUM sONGTRA
MONTRA
OUT BY THE FENCE
WERE THINGS MAKE MORE SENSE
I WROTE A GROOVY SONG
WE WERE OUT THERE
GETTIN IT ON
rEMEMBER WHEN MY HAIR WAS LONG
FIT ENOUGH TO
WEAR A THONG
OUT THERE GETTING IT ON
SINGIN MY BRAND NEW SONG
SHE SPILLED THE WINE
ON HIS EXSPENSIVE SILK SHIRT
WHILE HE AND
bAD- bASS WERE TRYNA
FIND THE RIGHT WORDS

the situational door of
continued opportunity
never truly closes
it always seems to
somehow remain open
so be it even if it´s just a crack
it stays open no matter what
you might say to the contrary
you leave it open for me to
stick my foot back into your
life every so often through
out this years and for years to
come your never truly done with me
no matter what you may say
Use of Situational Analysis
Powerful people may be found in palaces,
Causing problems resulting in a paralysis;
Around we revolve;
Conflicts can solve;
Answers are found using situational analysis.
We have many retired military officers and
NCO's. They should be used as a panel to
receive their opinions and suggestions
regarding how to solve problems like
LGBTQ for example and how to
successfully adjust to President Trump.
James Horn
PS. Uncertainty is a big problem.
Alliteration #5:
SITUATIONAL
Clever caution creams
Dread defies day dream
Signage sells story
Gripe gripping glory
Leave laughter lusting
Toil tumbles trusting
Wander weaves wonder
Poise plays prime ponder
Faith forges fiery
Work wrestles weary
Love leaves lust lovely
Sparks spread spoils simply
Fleeting form falling
Bloated boom bursting
Jumpstart just joy juice
Flame feisty free fuse
Hoist heavy hurts here
Classy choice casts cheer

You are locked down in the house and the Police
Has got the house surrounded. You need a cigarett...
This is an no smoking area...you need a cigarette...
Option: What would you do?
1. See if you can have a last smoke?
2. See if you can maybe..bum a smoke off
one of the cops'....
3. Go outside and see if you can find that
cigarett butt. The one that you left before...
You had to dropped...running from the Police..
4. Call the whole thing off....
5. Quit smoking all together!

********Thoughts' on the subject*******
You should always' think TWICE and Act once....!
You are in your bosses office
And you are about to loose your job
"Pushing The Botton" at your friendly
Neighborhood Nuclear Bomb Installation!
---
You were reportedly acting Psychotic for
The past two weeks' and that you have been
lately acting very, very strange!
And obsessive...........
---
And yet, even still, you still have not shaven
Or cut yor hair in almost a month and you
Still haven't done so even as of yet!
---
You were quoted, "Quote -un - Quote" as saying.....
I can't take it anymore! That these walls' are closing in.
----
Now what to say?
---
That I have been talking to my Physic and back on
my medication at her be-hest! I am feeling much
better now! I'm ready to push the button again.....
GF
******p.s. >Don't try this one at home!
Disregard for effect
In the eye of the beholder
We sit in dire need
As the looks grow colder
Abandoned out here
At the horizon’s end
We sleep all alone
With nothing to defend
The dreams come
But at what cost
When the lack there of
Has found us lost
The heart grows fond
In times of resistance
For reality lost touch
And with it our existence
But is that enough
To stand all alone
For solitude draws deep
Turning expressions to stone
The deals are dealt
And dreams fell short
Where do I go from here
When every step I distort?
In the midst of life
Others are stricken by strife
Where glory abounds
