<span style="color: #073763;">Howdy folks! </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">β₯</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I've always applied this to any large task or project, breaking one down into segments, and although it seems to be such a simple minded approach, it puts one in a frame of mind that lessens any dread one may have when faced with a large and daunting task, because instead of dwelling on the huge, whole task, one then focuses on just a part at a time and as each part is completed, one then starts to feel like they're accomplishing something, which in turn is encouraging to keep going until the whole task is completed. </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">β₯</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Lifeβs so much about mountains we must climb,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Particularly those requiring huge chunks of time.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But if we focus only on the mountains, whole,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Impossible it seems then for us to reach our goal.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">We can easily get discouraged dwelling on the whole,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Making the end result seem like such a distant goal.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But if we break a giant task into smaller parts or pieces,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">We can then proceed to tackle it, as the dread decreases.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">As we complete each part, confidence we build,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Knowing progress weβre making, not by dread, stilled.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">As the completed parts, a larger piece, become,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">We can know we're closing in on the total sum.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">The more we accomplish towards our intended goal,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The more we are encouraged to complete the whole</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And when upon, we are, that last and final stretch,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">We know that giving up is not a choice for us to fetch.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">The next time you are, with a giant task, faced,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Divide to make the whole, by parts, then replaced.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Focus on one part of your intended, final goal,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Then another and another, 'til finished is the whole.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Life is about mountains we must climb, overcome,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">With lessons intertwined we are to learn from.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">We can either face them with unproductive dread</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Or tackle them, determined, surmounting them, instead.</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763;">Howdy folks! </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">β₯</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I was late posting this last year on my <a href="https://artsieladie-heartbeats.blogspot.com/2017/11/skeleton-crew.html" target="_blank">Heartbeats blog</a>, because it took me almost a month to complete and I also have/had other, more pressing priorities. Real life always takes precedence and being creative, as much as I love creating, is something I do as I can, when I don't have other things to do that need to be done. I'm just now deciding now to add it to this, my Rhymetyme blog, since I didn't last year.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">While creating this piece, however, I began believing I wouldn't ever get it finished because I kept thinking of more elements to add. I love adding details and I feel it's well worth the extra time involved. The title I decided to go with does give new meaning to the term, 'skeleton crew', though. hehe </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">β₯</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763;"><i>- with artwork, "Skeleton Crew"</i></span></div>
<br />
<span style="color: #660000;">At last the night is here,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The night of fright and fear;</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The night of Halloween,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">A ghastly, ghostly scene.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span><span style="color: #660000;">As witches make their brew,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Calling on the Skeleton Crew</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">To, from their slumber, rise</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And meet without disguise.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span><span style="color: #660000;">The moon is full and bright</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">To make luminous the night,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">As amber flames flicker in each lit Jack</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And lick the brewing pot, burning it black.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span><span style="color: #660000;">With winter's breath coming, near,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">On October's night, the last this year,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The chill to the bones, not in the least,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Matters to those who have deceased.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span><span style="color: #660000;">As spirits awaken, rattling their bones,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">With a chorus of their moans and groans,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Rustling Autumn leaves blanketing the ground,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">A symphony commences of an eerie sound.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span><span style="color: #660000;">Distant werewolves with blood curdling howling,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Are now on the hunt, have begun their prowling.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The owls are hooting, "Who-who-who who-whooooo,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Who dares to venture out this night through?"</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span><span style="color: #660000;">As the graveyard comes alive with the walking dead,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Who've been sleeping restlessly in their earthly bed,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Waiting for the celebration, an annual eventful night,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">When spirits mingle, old and new, a welcomed sight.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span><span style="color: #660000;">There are stories to be told, legends to be read,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Like Sleepy Hollow, the horseman with no head.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">There's news of the living that must be spread,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Like who among the living is about to join the dead?</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span><span style="color: #660000;">Ah, it is a Fright Night, one that spooks the mind;</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">One that's to the living, an event often quite unkind.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But to the spirit world, it's a night looked forward to,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The annual congregation of the Skeleton Crew.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">It's all Hallow's Eve, with tricks up their sleeve,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Trick or treaters have begun their descending</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Upon this spooky night, packed with fright,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Along with spirits of all sorts attending.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">As Casper says, "Boo" and the owl says, "Who-o"</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And Jack's face is lit up and bright;</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The raven's arrived and is still unwived,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">No change in his loveless plight.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">The moon has risen, free of daylight's prison,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And now sheds light on an earth below,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">That's ready and waiting and anticipating</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Another grand and spooktacular show.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Over tall, naked trees, wherever they please,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Witches, on their brooms fly high,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Not wishing to spar, avoid bats' radar,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Searching for food in the sky.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">With moans and groans and rattling of bones,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Skeletons start their waking and stir,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">To rise from their bed, the unresting dead,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">As the wind gossips among the fir.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Goblins and ghosts and all such ghoulish hosts,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Are out and about for their party time.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Unmasked, naturally scary, all living be wary</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And even before the midnight chime.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Now on the prowl, the werewolves howl,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Each one a starving, treacherous beast.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The thirsting vampires with bloody desires,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Are seeking necks to gorge on and feast.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Fast asleep is the sun. Hallow's Eve's begun.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">As screams echo the sound of fright and fear;</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The creepy are walking; prey, they're stalking,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Reaping souls before the dawn gets here.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">To be up for the task, do wear your mask,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">For you must blend in with the scene,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">To keep safe through the night, hidden from sight,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And to survive the night of Halloween!</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763;">Howdy folks! </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">β₯</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The term, 'flying monkey' is used in psychology, referring to a person who believes and believes in another person under false pretenses and is usually associated with narcissism and narcissistic abuse, since narcissists (narcs) are known as masters of manipulation (especially through gaslighting) and of disguise (many 'masks'; impostors); are pathological liars, are extremely arrogant (either to cover their high level of insecurity and low self esteem - 'vulnerable narcissism' or because they really believe they're perfect - 'grandiose narcissism')</span><span style="color: #073763;">. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">The person believed in, projects themselves as one of good character, when in fact, they aren't. Narcs are shallow and spineless, lack the ability to empathize, love, feel remorse, or care about anyone other than themselves. They insatiably crave attention, respect, Love, admiration, adoration, acceptance, etc., but since their personality type ultimately undermines and destroys that which they crave, to compensate they're boastful, they lie, and manipulate to control another, unable to comprehend that the very tactics they're using are really working against them. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Flying monkeys believe in the goodness of another, though falsely projected, and are different than enablers, since enablers merely either go along with or cover up an abuser's bad behaviour. Empaths are particularly vulnerable, are easy targets for a narc and empaths provide narcs their 'narcissistic supply', which narcs feast on. Since empaths are caring, compassionate, and nurturing people, who see good in others, they're an easy mark for a narc. </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">β₯</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I </span><span style="color: #073763;">was once your Flying Monkey,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">For I believed so much in you.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I sang loudly your praises,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">As Flying Monkeys often do.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">To believe you to be a narc</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Was farthest from my mind,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But a heart believing can</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And often is so blind.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">I defended you many times</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Knowing I'd be reprimanded,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Ostracised, belittled;</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">As crazy, even branded.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Even when the red flags</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Kept appearing one by one,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I then made excuses, many,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">For your wrongful deeds done.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">I was warned by others,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But when one's heart is true,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">They will remain steadfast;</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Stay loyal through and through.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">The only colours that I saw</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Were of rose coloured glass.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">All your other colours hidden,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">In a character, cruel and crass.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">I gave willingly of my time.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Endless hours were consumed,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Doing things for you, your dream,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">As your ego soared and bloomed.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">When the red flags became</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Too many to overlook, ignore,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">To be fair with you, still,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Your reason I then asked you for.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Instead of appreciating </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The chance I gave you to explain,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">You attacked me viciously</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And began your smearing campaign.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Your other Flying Monkeys </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">You then sicced them on me,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">'Cause truth I'd learned about you,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Others might also learn and see.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">No morals, no ethics,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">No values, no integrity,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">No remorse, no shame,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">No compassion, no empathy.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">You're just a narc</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">With no heart or soul;</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Just emptiness inside,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">A huge, black hole.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">All these years and still,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Your stylus, never does it move.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Still arrogant and superficial</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And stuck in your ego's groove.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">But 'this' Flying Monkey</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Has landed now on solid ground.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I see you for what/who you are</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And truth rings a freedom sound.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">All your Flying Monkeys</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Can, your bidding, do,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But eventually all will learn</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The truth and will bid you then, adieu.</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763;">Howdy folks! </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">β₯</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Time seems like such a 'simple topic', but time is so very precious. Yet, I dare say, we waste so much of it and on things so foolish, frivolous, pointless, and petty, like senseless bickering, attacking each other for no valid reason, taking from others, dwelling negatively on our differences, lusting for money and materialistic possessions... to name some.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>

<span style="color: #073763;">Our own world can stop in the beat of a heart,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But time ticks on with no end to restart.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">The Hands On The Clock, always in motion,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">No counter clockwise, just forward devotion,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Regardless of what with our time, we do,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Each tick of time has just one single debut.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">The Hands On The Clock keep ticking away,</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763;">Until at our end we are forced to meet,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Realise that our time we can't repeat.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">The Hands On The Clock are tick-tocking away,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Second by second and day after day.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Whether we use wisely or waste the ticks,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Time says only to us, "Macht nichts"!</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">The Hands On The Clock, be vigilant with, to,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">For today is the day without further adieu</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">To make each moment count, as well our blessings;</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Cherish and savour life's garnishes, dressings.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">The Hands On The Clock tick to remind us</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Not to waste time on things that blind us,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But to instead honour the life we are livin';</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Exalt our Creator for our life He's given.</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763;">Howdy folks! </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">β₯</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><a href="https://www.delilah.com/" target="_blank">Delilah</a>, on her <a href="https://www.iheart.com/live/delilah-4846/" target="_blank">radio show</a> last Christmas season (2017), talked about giving the Gift Of Time. Hence, this poem came to me as a result. She has a wonderful, positive, uplifting show, which on she encourages folks to Love and be kind to one another and she encourages those discouraged not to give it up. We need many more of her in this world. </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">β₯</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Of all the gifts you give, have you ever thought</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">To give the Gift Of Time, a gift that can't be bought?</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">It seems we're so preoccupied with giving gifts, the reason,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">To consume our time so much through the busy Christmas season.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">We run up the credit cards to buy material things,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Thinking the gifts we buy, happiness it brings.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But afterward, when Christmas is behind us once again,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">We have to work double time to pay for all the gifts then.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">But it's time with our Loved ones that means so much more,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">A priceless gift we need not to work any double time for.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Things materialistic, the novelty of fades and goes away,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But memories made through the Gift Of Time, with us forever stay.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">The returns would then be 'to each other' and not to the store,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Where many stand in line to exchange the gifts we work to pay for.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">With the Gift Of Time an exchange occurs but not in retail,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But of reciprocation where memories made can't ever be for sale.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Memories with Loved ones are so precious to always treasure,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Which only with the Gift Of Time can we increase the measure.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The more time we give, the more we, our memory bank, fill,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">That one day might have to sustain us, our last day, until.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Since we never know what tomorrow holds for us to face,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">All the memories we make today might have to take the place</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Of someone dear to us through the rest of our tomorrows.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Precious are then our memories to soothe us through our sorrows.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">When we waste our time on things that matter less,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">It is time lost we can't gain back to then readdress.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">When there's no more time left to share and to spend</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Time with someone dear to us, the regret of has no end.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">So let us all remember that materialistic things</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Cannot ever replace what the Gift Of Time brings.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Let us not reserve just Christmas to our precious gift, give,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But all throughout the year to enrich our lives as we all live.</span><br />

<center>
<span style="color: #073763;">(image pending)</span></center>
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I'm not rich with money</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And be, I never will</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">For it's not a path I've chosen</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Nor in my garden, till.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Other things matter most</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And always will to me,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Things born of Love </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Our eyes can never see.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Only a humble heart</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Can in their heart sow</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The seeds producing flowers</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Of Love to then only grow.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">There is no room for ego;</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">There is no room for hate,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Nor for greed and selfishness,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">With Love inside a garden's gate.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">When we plant the seeds of Love,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">It's a priceless, worthy toil,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Since all opposing weeds </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Are then banished from our soil.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">All the weeds of traits</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Upon which the ego feeds,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Will have nowhere to germinate,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Where Love is all that breeds.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">As with any garden growing,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">There's a need for rays of sun,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But too, there must be rain</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">For growing to be done.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">As better gardeners we become,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">We learn that toil and pain</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">We must endure and overcome,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">If we hope to harvest gain.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">When we fertilize with kindness,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">With compassion and with care,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">With empathy and forgiveness,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">We'll have lots of Love to share.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">As our garden grows in riches</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">That can't be by money bought,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Only those with weedy gardens will</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Resent us for what they haven't got.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Blessings we tend to overlook</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And not realised, hence, before,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Love gives us the vision to see</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">How blessed we are and more.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Then for our many blessings,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">With gratitude, we garnish</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Our garden with more beauty,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">To polish, instead of tarnish.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">In the process of our growing</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">We learn what matters most,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">That humility and modesty</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Trumps ego within us to host.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">We learn money and possessions </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Are at best barely secondary</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And cultivating traits of Love</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Are foremost, first, and primary.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">We learn that contentment</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And a peaceful state of mind,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Brings happiness and joy</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">That by money we can't find.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">We learn that our wants</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Become then less and less;</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">As long as our needs are met,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Our life reaps happiness.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">When our needs are met</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Is when we have enough;</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Is when we feel contentment,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">With no want for other stuff.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">I'm not rich with money</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And be, I never will</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But my garden's rich with Love,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Since Love I choose to till.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">I'm not rich with money;</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">It matters not to me,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">For I'm a Gardener Of Love,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">As God wants me to be.</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763;">Howdy folks! </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">β₯</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">"The person who we are; the person who we carve</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">All depends upon what we feed and what we starve."</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">~ Artsieladie Quote </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">β₯</span><br />
<br />
<center>
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">"Stew Of Life"</span></center>
<center>
<span style="color: #073763;">(image pending)</span></center>
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Think of your life as a delicious stew or sauce,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The more you keep it cooking, the less you'll want to toss,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">If you're adding ingredients, character delicious</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And for your soul, spiritually nutritious.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">You will relish its flavour more, through and through,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The more you keep it cooking, the more you stir your stew.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The better it becomes, the better sauce you'll make,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">If you keep your Stew Of Life cooking, barring any fake.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Ingredients added to your pot, keep adding to restore,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Things not to be forgot, like Love, kindness, more.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Ingredients to omit, so your stew gets bitter not,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Are hate, resentment, jealousy kept out of your pot.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">It's important, too, to keep your flame adjusted</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Stirring at a simmer, parts won't then get crusted.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Neither will your stew scorch, on the bottom, burn,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">If you remember to keep giving your stew another turn.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Your stew will then be tasty, inviting, and delicious;</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Your stew will warm hearts, be sustaining and nutritious. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Create your own blend, one that others cannot clone,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">For you want your stew to be unique and all your own.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">How you treat others' hearts, what you add to your stew,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Speaks in volumes unabridged, the unique dish of you.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Whether to be savoured or a flavour to refuse,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">It's all up to you by the ingredients that you use.</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763;">(image pending)</span></center>
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Talking Through Our Problems with the intent to resolve,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">We deny the elements in our nature, preventing us to solve.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Talking Through Our Problems</span><span style="color: #073763;"> with resolution as our goal,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">We exhibit we want harmony among us and every living soul.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Talking Through Our Problems</span><span style="color: #073763;"> with our egos set aside,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Problems get solved and guilt can't then hitch a ride. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Talking Through Our Problems</span><span style="color: #073763;"> with an honest, open frame of mind,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Valuable lessons are learned and when we're considerate and kind.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Egocentric people are immature, like to keep the drama stirred</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And have no desire for solutions, as dissension is preferred. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Since their ego must be pleased, they must have their own way,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Making compromise impossible and resolutions kept in delay.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Talking Through Our Problems </span><span style="color: #073763;">without the need to be right,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">We allow our vision to expand to make greater then, our sight.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Talking Through Our Problems</span><span style="color: #073763;"> being honest and sincere,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">We cultivate our courage to be greater than our fear.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Talking Through Our Problems</span><span style="color: #073763;">, mindfully with respect,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Our personal differences have no influence, have no effect.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Talking Through Our Problems</span><span style="color: #073763;"> knowing we all have faults,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Blame becomes pointless among mature, rational adults.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Humble folks are more mature; they seek peace and harmony</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And have learned the value of selflessness, as well, integrity.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Humble folks have open hearts without their ego in control</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And therefore, value others' feelings that matter on the whole.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Talking Through Our Problems</span><span style="color: #073763;">, violence is not a choice;</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Revenge is off the table with understanding in our voice.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Talking Through Our Problems</span><span style="color: #073763;">, we seek to compromise,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Where all sides give and take to reach a mutual enterprise.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Talking Through Our Problems to </span><span style="color: #073763;">confront them fair and square,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Relieved then are our hearts, leaving us peace within to bear.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Talking Through Our Problems</span><span style="color: #073763;">, the problems go away,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">No longer lingering to steal our peace on any future day.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">The wisest folks among us know, to avoid extra grief and misery,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Problems must be addressed and solved to keep peace and harmony.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Talking Through Our Problems</span><span style="color: #073763;"> to seek and obtain resolutions,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Minus the stupidness of our ego, we're wiser to then find solutions.</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763;">Howdy folks! </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">β₯</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">This is a story in the form of a poem about an abused horse and the girl who healed the horse's broken trust and spirit through her Love and kindness. There's a moral to this story, of course. Healing can happen with all our wounds, if we allow Love in our hearts to work its magic. I hope you enjoy! </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">β₯</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">My name is Lemon, without the 'ade'.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Not for my colour though, hue or shade,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">For I'm a pinto with brown and white,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Said to be pretty from distant sight.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But up close is a different matter</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Or so it's said among human chatter.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">My outlook on life is rather grim.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Seeing my sweet side is very slim.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">As my name is indicative of,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I'm bitter, too sour for human Love.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Human hands have been unkind;</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Have left me in this frame of mind.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Thus humans in general pass me by,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Care not to learn about the why</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Or what brought me to my current state,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And made too fearful to change my fate.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">My trust is gone, my spirit's broken.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Human abuse, neglect has left its token.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Although I'm now in a better place,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Where every human has a kinder face,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Memories rooted have made their bed,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Are overgrown and deep inside my head.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">So, when human kindness comes my way,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I'm still trapped in my yesterday.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">I long for the Love and the caring I see</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Shown to my stall mates so liberally,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But there seems to be an invisible wall,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I feel so isolated inside my stall.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">No human is willing to take the chance</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">To befriend me in my lonely circumstance.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">But then one day my stall door opens wide</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And a girl named Shelby slips through inside.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">She has with her a book and a chair</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And by the door she sits quietly there.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">She says nothing to me as I roll my eyes,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Pin back my ears with my defensive disguise.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">She just opens the book and starts to read,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Pays no mind, giving my 'tude not a heed.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">With myself positioned against the farthest wall,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And what seemed like forever, as I do recall,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">She sat quite still, read and munched a bit,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">While I pawed and snorted and threw a fit.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">But all of my antics she simply ignored,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">As into her book, her attention she poured.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">"Hmmm.. This is a human unlike all the rest,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Who hasn't run, although I've tried my best</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">To frighten her and to scare her away.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Yet, here she sits. Is she here to stay?"</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Up until now I've been preoccupied </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">With antics to cover my fear inside,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But now my defenses are slowly receding,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">As a new feeling has begun proceeding.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I detect an aroma, my nose is seizing, </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">One I vaguely remember, but so pleasing.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Now that my focus has been altered bunches,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I can hear, see, and smell, what on she crunches.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">As my mouth waters at the sound and the smell,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I can't deny myself what I'd like as well.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Slowly, gingerly, I venture in her direction,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Pausing repeatedly still fearing rejection.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">For the first time, she looks up from her reading</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And she smiles at me with a friendly, warm greeting.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">She pulls something out from the bag she's carrying,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Offers it to me but fear is toughest when burying.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Though my ears are pricked forward in anticipation,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">There's rippling through me a strong sensation.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Like electrical shock waves, old memories ignite,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Seizing like demons to keep me trapped in fright.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Though I hear her voice beckoning, calling to me,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Old memories revived block out her kindness to see.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">With ears pinned back and fear in the driving seat,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Back against the wall like before, I again retreat.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">I watch her closely, expect her to leave,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">As all humans have done because they believe</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">My behaviour depicts my nature as unruly and mean</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And I'm quite sure she will too, flee the scene.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But the girl only resumes her former attention,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Reading as though there'd been no intervention.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">I relax a little as I begin to wonder about why</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">She hasn't left me alone with a hasty goodbye.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Why she is still here I can't comprehend.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I'm starting to hope for a different trend</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Than the one I've been living based in fear.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Can I really trust this human sitting here?</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Though puzzled, perplexed, and confused no doubt,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Taking command, my curious nature pushes fear out.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Again, I move slowly towards the girl who's seated,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Convincing myself by fear I won't be defeated.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But this time and although I'm just inches away,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Reading still, no attention on me does she pay.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">How can she not know I'm standing so near?</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Perhaps, she's expecting the same to reappear</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Like before after her being to me kind and sweet,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Because of fear, I made a quick and hasty retreat.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">How do I tell her I won't again act as before,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">That it's her attention I wish to only implore?</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Her attention for, how long must I wait?</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Will my fear return too large to abate?</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Her munching on apples and carrots sliced</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Has peeked my interest, has me very enticed.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I muster the courage and nuzzle her book</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And finally she of me then takes a look.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">She puts to her mouth what mine's watering for,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Again the munching I've heard often before.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Can't she see I'm wanting, hoping for too</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">What she is savouring with every chew?</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">She acknowledges my presence again with a smile,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">As I witness her demeanor of a gentle style.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">As she took from a bag another two pieces,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">My desire then swells, greatly increases.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">She popped one in her mouth, began to chew</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And as she looked at me, smiling, too.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Then she offered to my delight and glee</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The other slice and so pleasing to me.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">As I lipped the treat gently from her hand,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">A bond was forming, I'd soon understand.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">As she spoke softly in a calm, quiet voice,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">It was a moment I'd treasure, in, always rejoice.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Instead of reading her book, she'd been reading me,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Searching to find to my heart, the unlocking key.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">She made no advances, just stayed in her seat</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And continued to give me treat after treat.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">When the apples and carrots were finished and gone,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">She slowly stood up with a sigh and a yawn.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">As she clutched her book and folded her chair,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">She spoke softly to me with a voice of care.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">"I must leave you now, but I shall return,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">For about each other, there's much to learn."</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">As she slipped through the door, I felt sad,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But with the hope she'd return, made me glad,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">For there was inside me a new ray of hope.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Waiting for her next visit, I knew I could cope.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">The next day arrived and with dawn's first beam</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I wondered if The Visit had been only a dream.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The morning passed slowly, as did the afternoon.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Then evening came and brought with, the rising moon.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">My hope was fading fast along with the day.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Then as my heart was sinking, I heard her say.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">"So sorry I'm late, but my word I'm keeping,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">For I must do so for my restful sleeping."</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">She had no book, no chair, just a bag of treats,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">More apples and carrots, nature's own sweets.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Her presence I knew then was genuine and real</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And I can't describe how elated she made me feel.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">She opened and slipped inside my door.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I nickered a greeting I'd not done before.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">As she gave me a treat, my neck she stroked</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And for the first time, I felt joy invoked.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Inside of me there was not an ounce of fear.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">This human's kindness to me is crystal clear.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">For days she came just to visit with me,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And I looked forward for her face to see.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Each day she came she brought some treats</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And I'd nicker softly to her upon our greets.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Though I didn't understand all her chatter,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">With her petting me gently, it didn't matter.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Days turned into weeks, then into months on end,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">With her wavering not from the start of this trend.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Each new step we took throughout my retraining,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Her gentle and kind way kept on remaining.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The fear and distrust that once humans created,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Another human's heart of Love removed, vacated.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">We work together, my aim is to please;</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">We play together, I'm always at ease.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">We go on adventures, explore together.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">She needs not for me a rope or tether. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">My world has changed into one that's bright,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Even sunny and cheerful in the dark of night.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">My name is still Lemon, but now with 'Ade',</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Since I'm no longer bitter, sour, afraid.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Having been sweetened now ever so much</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Through kindness and caring, a Loving touch,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">My 'tude's adjusted with a much better perspective,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But with trusting humans, I'm careful, selective.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">As for the girl, my human best friend,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">For her patience and Love that helped me mend,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I'll always be grateful, loyal, and true,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">For releasing me from the prison I knew.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Though all my bad memories cannot be ever erased,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I'm flooded with good ones, she has in me placed.</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763;">"Character rich, money poor</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Trumps</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Money rich, character poor."</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">~ Artsieladie Quote </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">β₯</span><br />
<br />
<center>
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">"Rich In Character"</span></center>
<center>
<span style="color: #073763;">(image pending)</span></center>
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Rich In Character is rich indeed</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Without the fueling of evil's greed.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Rich In Character is quality traits</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">That, one's character, accentuates.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Being humble, honest, caring, and kind</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Rewards one hosting a frame of mind</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">With having value and worth that affect</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Positively their self esteem and respect. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Having lots of money and what it buys</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Will not reward one with the prize</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Of character richness to be by others awed</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">For the lust of money makes one badly flawed.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">When one relies on money for happiness,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">They subject themselves to undue stress</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And a state of contentment they'll never find,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Since the lust for more will control their mind.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">One Rich In Character needs not money to be,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">With importance placed more on integrity.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">One Rich In Character values the most</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">What money can't buy, brag of or boast.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Hence, rich in money but character poor</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Is not ever a goal one should aspire for.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">While Rich In Character should always be</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The goal to seek of virtue and integrity.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">What good is money to store away in a bank,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">If the one possessing is really a skank?</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">What good is money without virtues to measure,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Where money scores zero, nothing to treasure?</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">What good is money in regards to self worth?</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Money has no bearing when we leave this earth.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Pockets full of money and earthly possessions</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Mean tiddly-squat at Judgment's Confessions.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Money and possessions at the Golden Gate</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Have no value with God, carry zero weight.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">A pauper with a heart that's humble and kind,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Selfless and honest, in Heaven we'll find.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">But those rich with money and all it buys,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Driven by ego, lust, deceit, and lies,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Cannot enter through Heaven's Golden Gates.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">In the fires of hell for them, satan awaits.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">When we lust for money and all it buys,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Our richness in character we compromise.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But when we strive for virtue and integrity,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Then richness in character we guarantee.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">True self worth, esteem, and respectfulness</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Comes not from money as one's objectiveness,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But only from values and quality traits</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">That only one Rich In Character cultivates.</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763;">Howdy folks! </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">β₯</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">This is a lengthy post that I doubt many will care to read, but at the same time I'm sure there are others who can well relate to this, since often in life, when parents pass away, a sibling or siblings who is/are greedy and selfish will then reveal their "true colours", which only adds to the grief and pain of the other sibling or siblings. Then too, a few will read this and their blood will boil from guilt, for guilty people hate having their despicable acts and behaviour exposed, but their discomfort is/will be NOTHING compared to the horrendous, horrific, unnecessary pain and suffering they have caused myself and others.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">The worst thing one can do when they're hurting is to turn it inward and hide it or worse, deny it. We need to find a productive way to release our pain and grief. My way is done through writing and writing this has been anything but pleasant, more like gut-wrenchingly painful, bringing all the pain and hurt to the surface to write about and express. But the only way to deal with pain, especially perhaps, the deepest and most severe pain, is 'through' it, not around it, not avoiding it, but facing it head on. Part of the healing process comes by expressing the pain and in order to express the pain, the truth of what and/or whom caused the pain must also be addressed. When we remain silent about wrongs being done, we then protect those who carry out their wrongful deeds. Our silence then protects the lying and deceitfulness and hinders the truth from being revealed. When we remain silent about what and/or who has caused us pain, we aid and abet the wrong and only hurt ourselves more in the process. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of Mom and miss her. Like learning to cope with the loss of my Mother isn't enough, I've had to learn how to cope with the loss of people I've known and loved my entire life, for the people I 'thought' they were, are now dead, too, and in their place are now people who are, have become satan servers; monsters motivated by selfishness and greed, two traits my Mother loathed. Having to learn how to cope with the loss of my Mother and having to learn people you've loved your entire life are now consumed with hatred and have proved so through their mean and spiteful acts, because I refused to be a part of the father's lying and scheming game plans, is indescribably painful. But at the same time, knowing I wouldn't have done any differently had I known what I know now, is also indescribably rewarding.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">To know I'm walking in my Mother's footsteps of integrity and not the narcissistic footsteps of the father figure, affords me a sense of self worth all their filthy, rotten money cannot even hope to buy. When it comes to being punished for following the path of doing what's right versus being rewarded for following the path of doing what's wrong, I'll choose the fore without hesitation, as my Mother would and did. I have very little money but I have integrity. They have lots of money, some of which they stole, but they have zero integrity. </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">β₯</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763;">You think you know your siblings, until your parents die.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">This is when their true character shows, they won't deny.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">If they have a code of ethics, morals, and integrity,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">They'll be fair and do what's right for the whole family.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But if they've none of these, they'll serve their selfish greed,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Take everything for themselves and NOT because of need.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Our Mother raised us well, good values she did instill.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">She lived a virtuous life with integrity to guide her will.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">She worked hard and tirelessly to give us all she could,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Asked little for herself and of us, she wanted to be good.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">By good, I mean, respectable, with honour, morals, integrity,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">All which she demonstrated in how she lived with a mind of purity.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">In one of my brothers she placed in him her trust,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">That her wishes he would execute when she returned to dust.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">He even swore to her just days before she passed away</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">That her wishes he would carry out, 'to the letter', he did say,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And in front of several of us, as we were gathered 'round her bed.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But then he betrayed his word, her trust, after she was dead.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">His own Mother, who trusted him, he betrayed as she lay dying;</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Swore to her, her wishes he'd fulfill, knowing he was lying.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Instead of dividing things equally among all of us remaining,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">He with two other siblings took the majority for their own gaining.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">One other sibling was allowed a very minor, meager amount,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">While two sisters and I didn't at all or whatsoever, count.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">It wasn't due to financial needs to explain my brother's take.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Heck, he needed to buy property for an income tax break!</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Of the siblings remaining, the ones who have the very most,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Took everything for themselves; of despicable degree, utmost.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But not just of monetary value did they deny others of as well,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">They showed no regard for ANYthing, either trashing or did sell.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Personal things of Mom's to have, we had every right, too;</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Things she promised us they stole from us although they knew.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Envelopes written by her hand, with on them, each our name,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The contents of they pocketed with NO remorse or shame.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Nothing short of thugs and thieves with deliberate intent.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">All they did to us for spite, viciously it was meant.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">I was met at my Mom's front door by a stranger unbowed,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Who proceeded to tell me that 'only family was allowed'.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">All of Mom's things, so personal and the most private kind,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Which ONLY to her daughterS should the task've been assigned,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Others were permitted to go through, so indecent and so crude,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Knowing Mom to be a modest lady, allowed strangers to intrude.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Her memory they've treated worse than an enemy they would,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">As though she was trash to get rid of, to make it understood.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The big ol' dumpster in her yard, filled, I never shall forget,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">All trash to them and meaningless without an ounce of regret.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">It seemed like I was in a foreign land with those I didn't know.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Not an iota of compassion did they demonstrate or show.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">But I believe our Mother knew within, way down deep inside</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">That her wishes wouldn't be fulfilled by those on she relied,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Because of remarks made to her, cruel, heartless, chided,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">By her spouse and daughter in law, about where we resided.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I recall her telling me she was afraid for my daughter and I,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">That we'd be put out in the street, upon the day she would die.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">I'm not the only one she told this to; she was this concerned,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But only those she trusted most, did she share what she discerned.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The three who've betrayed her, weren't among those she trusted</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">To share her concerns with, making it clear who she then mistrusted.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">She begged and pleaded with me to accept her parents' very old house,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Which for years I've lived in, paid for, denied by her lying spouse.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">As it turned out, they have proven her spot on and right,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Since I KNOW now they would have thrown us out for spite.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I know it broke her heart to even think her son would ever steal</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Away from us our home as she cried for how it made her feel.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But I believe, too, she wanted to believe that trust him, she could;</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">She gave him the chance, he blew it, proving he couldn't on make good.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Such a complete lack of caring, with no conscience or remorse;</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Narcissistic traits of father's, the chosen path and course.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Pure greed and selfishness, displayed by the siblings, three,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">They cheated, lied, and stole from their own most despicably.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">All they cared about was money and all of it they could get,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Our hearts couldn't be more deeply wounded with a bayonet.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Family heirlooms were auctioned off, since they mattered not;</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Things that didn't belong to them, for them, they never bought.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The Family Bible, our uncle's purple heart and his coffin's flag;</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">He gave his life for our country, treated like junk, a worthless rag.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Countless items irreplaceable, like Grandpa's clock and wedding ring,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But to the selfish, greedy siblings, they didn't mean a thing.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Family albums, pictures, with memories to hand down, pass on,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">For grandchildren to cherish, treasure, have disappeared and gone.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Mom's recipes, jewelry, her personal things she treasured,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">We were denied ALL of; to us their value can't be measured.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">To my sister and I who were left out, our Mom we cherished</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And for this, we were scorned, all caring about us perished.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Even my daughter's pictures they stole, along with other things</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Belonging to my daughter to ensure my daughter felt the stings.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">As godparents, two of these siblings, for my daughter I decreed,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Never did I know or even think they would hurt her for greed.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Then to have the audacity to cry to her, brother pretended to care</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">At my sister's funeral and so proud of her he said and did declare.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Of having mementos for them to cherish, grandchildren were denied</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And too, great grand children, like they're worthless, was implied.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">No one's feelings were considered whatsoever; not even in the least, </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Besides grieving for our Mother, we learned our brother is a beast.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Like his father he has chosen to become and in his footsteps follow,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">A disgrace to our Mother and of goodness, he is empty, hollow.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Everything my Mom stood for and her life, they completely desecrated,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Committed moral crimes that wouldn't be done to someone even hated!</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Yet, the father figure who was too cruel and mean to a dad, ever be,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">They honoured his wishes, his hatred, his lies, keeping his decree.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The father figure was abusive, even with his own handicapped child,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Tormented her, then beat her when she cried and continually he reviled.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">My brother, the betraying son, knows well that this is very true,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">'Cause he held his father down and said to him, 'Don't make me hit you!'</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">After our defenseless sister, father'd been tormenting and abusing.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But doing such he did to her and animals; to him this was amusing.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">His father reaped joy from tormenting and loved to use his belts</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">To beat his step kids with, leaving painful, sore and swollen welts.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Verbal abuse he honed and practiced liberally and he'd instigate</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Situations he could justify his delivery of and to demonstrate.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">At nearly every dinner table, a time for family togetherness,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">He used the opportunity to show more of his mean spitefulness.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">If we didn't like a food, extra helpings he'd pile on our plate</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And force us to eat it all with his eyes bugging out, irate.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">At almost every dinner time, he'd slap me more than once</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And the glee in his eyes showed like to him it was a bunce.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">My esteem he destroyed; my self worth obliterated,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Told me regularly I was worthless and he well illustrated.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I remember wishing many times I was never born, nor even still alive,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Which he made clear he wished for me too, since before the age of five.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">But it wasn't just I who he abused in this devastating way.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">With all of his step kids, our esteem, our worth, he did fillet.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The scars will never heal; the hurt and pain will always be,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But still I am grateful for what he did is priceless to me.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">He illustrated very well what type of person to never to succumb</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And I knew no matter what it took, like him I NEVER would become.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">He cheated, lied, and schemed all throughout his life,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Had no regard, respect, or care for his faithful wife.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Instead, he cursed her in every possible, degrading way,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Her reward from him for working tirelessly each and every day.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">He cursed her before she died for caring for their child,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">For not putting their daughter away, in a home exiled. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">The night when Mom's last rights were to be given, read,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Her spouse declined to be a part, said he needed rest instead.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Two betraying siblings can't deny their father's callous heart,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Since they're the ones who told him and he refused to be a part.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The next day he asked to see her, as he cried and carried on,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And Mom, God bless her soul, said 'No', his chance was then gone.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Anyone who told the truth about him and his deceitful path,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Were accused of lying; recipients of his narcissistic wrath.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">He would never say he was sorry for anything he has done.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">There was no humbleness about him, just ego by the ton.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Grudges he carried like torches, kept them burning bright;</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Wrongs belonged only to others; he was always right.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">He was a man of two faces, he wore to protect his nature, true.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">There was the face for others, but then the face so few ever knew.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">At work he was mr. pleasant, charming, and so very nice,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Making ladies not believe his heart was colder than dry ice.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">When company would come to our home, he presented himself the same,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But behind closed doors when all left, back to the rogue he became.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">So when, what kind of person he REALLY was, is revealed,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Many can't believe it, are blinded by his deceptive shield.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">If the three siblings involved in Mom's betrayal ever had to swear</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">To speak the truth on the Bible and for their lives, to spare,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">They would have to tell then the truth about his hidden side,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Instead of honouring him as though 'he' should be glorified.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">THIS is the person the three honour, his wishes, they've respected,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Hold in high regard, while Mom's honour, they've totally rejected.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">They've made it crystal clear they value not her legacy of honour</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And I'll not be silent about how they have brought to her dishonour.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">How any of them can live with themselves, knowing what they've done,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Especially the broken promise made by, she thought, her 'loving son'.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Superficial, fake, heartless, devious, and cruel,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">From the father's book, all part of 'his' golden rule.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The fruit didn't fall far from the parent tree.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Like his father, he's become in the worst degree.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The awful deeds he's done behind our Mother's back,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">All so covered up but Karma is keeping perfect track.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">If Mom only knew then, how and by whom she was betrayed</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And the wicked, cheating games on her that were being played,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">A chance to prove his trustworthiness, he would have never had,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">If she had known her son is like his father, who never was a dad.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">They scratched each other's backs to keep their secrets never told,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But the surface is the meeting place where truth turns to gold.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">It's not a big world anymore and when there's smut to tell,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Such news travels fast and far and amazingly very well.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Truth always has a way of making itself known eventually,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Making cheaters and liars exposed consequentially.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">She would have never trusted him, to her wishes, carry out,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But now she knows ALL about him, I have not a shred of doubt.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">No morals, no ethics, no anything worth a tinker's damn</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Has a person got, who lives a life of lying, all just a sham.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And too, the world sees him as a man with class, integrity,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But it's just his other face he projects for the world to see.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">An image of his father's character in almost every way,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">With some traits even worse, if it's possible to say.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">To think I thought the world of all the siblings three,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Who turned out to be such villains, is painful too, for me.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Never would I've imagined their hearts to be filled with hate,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But believing father's lies would definitely trust, extirpate.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Out behind the garage after eating they went there for yacking.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">They thought our Mother didn't know who all they were attacking.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Two brothers and a sister, heartless, forfeited their soul,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And they will come to know eventually the cost of, the toll.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">They cannot undo what they have done, nor fix, nor rectify</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And so, must live with their scoundrel deeds until they die.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">They dishonoured our Mother, her life, in every possible way</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And will not go unpunished, for they WILL have to pay.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">I think of my poor Mother looking down on them in despair,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Seeing some of her children become the devil's ware.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Her feeling of grief caused by betrayal by her own son</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Must be immeasurable and after all for him she has done.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">We will all have to face our Mother again one future day.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">What will those three who betrayed her then have to say?</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">I'm glad I'm not in their shoes! Yes, mistakes I have done,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But not even close to betraying her that would the devil, stun.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">How the siblings three can ever close their eyes to sleep</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And not see our Mother's face with tears they're causing her to weep,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Is beyond my comprehension, knowing how all of us she raised</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And yet, three of her children's actions have her, dispraised.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Since the three siblings give homage to a father not deserving,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And instead have chosen to dishonour Mom to be satan serving,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The story must be told, an accounting of, the truth I remember well</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And with my Gift from God I must my Mother honour and the truth tell.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I mention not a single name as there's really no need for me to do,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Since they know well who they are, as Mom and God surely do know, too.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">On so many levels, an ULTIMATE BETRAYAL to let his Mother die,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Knowing he was deceiving her with a no greater, sinful lie</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Than to PROMISE his Mother, swearing with words, 'to the letter',</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And the siblings who went along with him, aren't very much better.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">People you grow up with you don't expect they'll steal from their own</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Nor stab you, your Mother, in your soul or clearly through the bone.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">I try hard to purge the pain; to forgive, even harder I do try,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But every day I think of Mom and their deeds I cannot nullify.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I often use poetry to ease the pain of what I feel within,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But this is a pain against I cannot seem to ever hope to win.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">All the lives affected, wounded deeply, I'm writing for as well,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Though I know all our pain from our hearts my words cannot expel.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">There is no greater enemy; there is not a more worse type of foe</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Than one you've loved your whole life becoming one you do not know.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Anyone who can do the things they've done AND to their OWN,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">They'll likewise do to others, the same behaviour, clone.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">If the roles had been reversed, if they had been shut out,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Their wrath would've been immeasurable, I have no doubt.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">But since it's they who carried out their immoral, greedy acts,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">My sister and I are expected to forget all the painful facts.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">We're expected to say nothing about what they have done,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">To leave them smelling like a rose, with accountability, none. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Those who do despicable deeds should not in silence be bathed</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">By those they've victimized, left severely and forever scathed.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Causing pain and suffering, along with grief and misery,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">They've engraved in their resume the father's legacy.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">While our beloved Mother, her title, they have forfeited to claim,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Since for their greed and selfishness, they've only brought her shame.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But there will come the day, when they'll reap what they have sown</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And regret the wishes they defied for the wishes they chose to condone.</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763;">Howdy folks! </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">β₯</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">When you truly Love someone, with every fiber of your being, you can forgive them a gazillion times, wipe clean over and over their slate of mistakes; make tons of excuses for them and their behaviour; you can believe in them until the cows come home; you can overlook/accept their shortcomings; you can encourage them in every way you know of to shine; you can offer understanding up the wazoo and have the patience of Job... but if all the one you Love cares about is playing with you and your emotions/feelings and using your Love to use you, abuse you, hurt you, destroy you, then the only recourse you have left, is to quit, slam that door shut and bolt it, and don't look back. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Yeah, it's painful but in time you can heal, whereas, if you stay in a dead end, heart wrenching situation, you can NEVER heal, which a toxic person doesn't want you to heal. They want to keep your wounds they inflict, raw, gaping, and as painful as possible, since it is for them a main source of pleasure. Your crying, your pain, your suffering, your agony, is a turn on for them. They get a 'high' from your pain. Toxic people are toxic to themselves and everyone else they can possibly infect and loving such an individual is not only hopeless, but self destructive for sure, because the more you Love them, the more understanding, patient, forgiving, etc. you are, the more ammunition they invert to use against you. Narcs have no conscience, feel nothing, including remorse, and are therefore, incapable of Love. They loathe who they are and so, they use their ego to create a fake version of themselves, while everything about themselves they loathe, they then project it all onto others, and if you Love such a person, you'll get the brunt of their projections. </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">β₯</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763;">(image pending)</span></center>
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Once I wanted you in my life</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">To be a vital part.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Once you had an open invitation</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">To be inside my heart.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Once I admired you tremendously,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Held you in high regard,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Once you were important to me,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">In my life you starred.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">But then you destroyed it all,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">A little bit at a time,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">As you played me for a fool,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Like I'm not worth a dime.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But still, I didn't give up,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Gave you umpteen chances,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Made excuses for your behaviour,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Causing unpleasant circumstances.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">I didn't want to think of you</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">As being a heartless narc,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But eventually you forced me to</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">See you're all black and dark.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">There is no Love within you,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Only ego, spite, and hate.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">You live to torment others,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">In a pathetic, lifeless state.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">The rose I saw within you</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Turned out to be a fake;</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Just another of your con jobs</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">To advantage of me, take.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I like to believe there's good</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Inside of every heart,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But you've convinced me</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">You're void of any such part.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">I thought...</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">If I Loved you enough,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The good in you would shine;</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">If I forgave you enough,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">From cruelty you'd resign;</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">If I believed in you enough,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">You'd have courage to be brave</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">To follow a path of integrity</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And value this enough to save.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">But this is how you like it,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">As you wallow in your mud,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">A quagmire of a pathetic life,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">With the stench of ego's crud.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">If you didn't like your life,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Then changes you would make.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">To encourage you is pointless,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Since you like your ego made fake.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Behind your wall of superficial,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">You're a weak, spineless, coward.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">You're dependent upon your ego</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">To make you feel empowered.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But strip away your ego and</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Of substance, nothing's there,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Which this is fine with you,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Since you don't give a damn to care.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">For you I have and feel no hate,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Which I'm sure you'd like me to,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Since then you could claim victory</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">In making me just like hateful you.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">You are everything I'm not,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Filled with hateful jealousy,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And I'm everything you're not,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Love, compassion, with integrity.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">On the </span><span style="color: #073763;">Outside Looking In you are</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And it's all you'll ever be,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Because to keep you in my heart</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Would mean destroying me.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I have a heart of Love,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Which you cannot understand,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Because yours is of hate</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">With your ego in command.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Hence, though upon my door</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">You in different ways knock,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">You're wasting your time, dear,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Since I'll never it, unlock.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">It's taken me a long time</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">To come to my conclusion</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">That you are nothing more</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Than a toxic, cancerous intrusion.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">I do not give up easily.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">It takes a LOT for me to quit,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But this has been a dead end,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Which now I finally get.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">You have no heart for a rose,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">With your black ego in control.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">You're a pit of pure emptiness,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">With a black hole for a soul.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">In my life now, there's only real,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">No more room will I make</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">For empty, heartless black holes</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Hidden under superficial, fake.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">On the Outside Looking In is</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">As close as you'll ever get to me,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Since I've traded in the fake you</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">For the REAL He, which you'll never be.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">He, I can depend upon</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And with, have an honest REAL chat;</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">He, I can have faith in</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Not an immature, fake technocrat. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">With He, I know I'm Loved</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Not just a target to on, inflict pain;</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">With He, I am protected</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And I'm freed from my sanity being slain.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Between the likes of you and He, </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">You cannot compare,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Since He is real and true,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">While you have lots of fake to spare.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">On a scale from one to ten,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">He is a thousand plus</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And you? You're a negative of the same,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">With the applicable title, wuss.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Ciao!</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763;">Howdy folks! </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">β₯</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I LOVE horses!!! I love animals and nature but horses, if such is possible, I feel a kindred spirit with especially. When I see some horses grazing in a pasture at a distance hard for me to see them well, I just call to them with some whinnies and they will come right up to the fence blessing me with my favourite eye candy so nicely up close. </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">β₯</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">As amber rays wane with their task done,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The melting of the rainbow, pleasing Mr. Sun,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Setting colours free across a canvas, blue,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">To paint a new marvel, a mix of every hue,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">It's a grand display at the closing of the day</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Before the night falls and on Mr. Moon, calls.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">As colours dance and mingle in a spectrum unrestrained,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">With brilliancy unmatched, the world is entertained.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The commotion creates a mist spraying across the earth,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">An added splendor dazzles preventing any equal worth.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">As the canvas of the sky captures every seeing eye,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">All of nature just below reflects, adding to the show. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">At this time of grandeur, magnificence emerges</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">With the beckoning of my longing, silent are my urges.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">As the beating of my heart crescendos, echoed is the sound</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">By the beat of thundering hooves across reflective ground.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The first star of night of rippling muscle might</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Nears with gliding grace, racing towards my embrace.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">O, thy gallant steed, king of mountain, hill, and vale,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The envy of all who've heard the stallion's, legendary tale.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">His blood flows through the veins of herds far and wide,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Wild and untamed, Nightstar, takes no mare for his bride.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">This gallant steed and I, all reason we defy;</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">As the rays are to the sun, in spirit we are one.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">As he nickers soft and low with his muzzle in my palm,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">We synchronize in thought, breathing in the calm.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">A new adventure awaits with the rising of the moon;</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">When the owls awaken with commencement of their tune. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Grabbing mane thick and long, upon his back so strong,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I mount my beloved steed, swifter than any wind's speed.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">The twinkling of the stars begins, an introduction for</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Mr. Moon's stage appearance like many times before.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The stallion's impatience swells, rearing, paws the sky,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Trumpeting the heavens, as hills and mountains amplify.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">As clouds cluster in a curtain, a sudden hush makes certain,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Mr. Moon's perched in place and ready to show his smiling face.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Again, Nightstar sounds his trumpet, with a trail of snorts,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Rounding up the breezes, to the heavens the wind of, escorts</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">A swirling, twirling force opening the curtain cluster wide,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Revealing Mr. Moon in all his glory, vainly filled with pride.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">As power surges beneath my seat on my equine, superb athlete,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I quiver with sheer delight, as we charge into the waiting night.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Where we travel to on this night, the choice is up to him,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">For anywhere is alright aboard my prized, majestic gem.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">O, my noble Nightstar, so wild, born only to be free,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Magnificent you are and bound we are by Love's loyalty.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">O, thy gallant steed, wherever you may roam,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">My heart will always need to be with you, at home.</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763;">Smiles and hugs to give are free,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">So no need to selfish be.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Give a hug with a smile,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Give a hug to bring a smile,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">To another's heart,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">To another's face.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Spread love and kindness EVERY place.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Since smiles and hugs nothing cost,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">There's all to gain with nothing lost.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">So be generous for the more you give,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The more and happier hearts will live.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Smiles and hugs, the magic of,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Is because they're made of love.</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763;">Howdy folks! </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">β₯</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">You can follow your heart all you want,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But if to a heart that's cold, nonchalant,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Or unreceptive for whatever reason,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">It's best to say so long to a season</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Where love once had a chance to bloom,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But the receiving heart for, would make no room.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">You can't get blood out of a stone</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And love for two can't thrive alone</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">In a heart of one, the other naught,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Where by their ego one is caught.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Arrogance does, humbleness steal</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And the pride derived cannot feel</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The love vibrations from another's heart.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">So, this love for two can never start.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">She followed her heart to a distant shore,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And knocked upon the beckoning door.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The one inside when once did hear,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Although expecting, froze in fear,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And now refuses to let her in,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Denying love that could have been.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">So in dreams she haunts his sleep,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Because of love he didn't keep.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Yet by day in shadows lurking,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Watches her as she's working;</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">While she plays and chats with friends,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">On and on, it never ends.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Although so often, through glimpses caught,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">She knows he's watching. He says naught.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Denying the truth, to himself he lies,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Continues charade in false disguise. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">For in her journal, a log well kept,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">With data gathered, quite adept,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Evidence of, profoundly affirms,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Therefore, voiding his very own terms.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">She followed her heart;</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">He denied his own.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">She's moving on;</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">He's still alone.</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763;">Howdy folks! </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">β₯</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I am a GAZILLION percent AGAINST: house of windsor (house of reptiles/serpents) agenda, the one eye/masonry occult serving satan, jesuitism (the vatican), zionism (the fake Jews)... all luciferians, all scheming to bring the New World Order (NWO) agenda to fruition for a ONE world, communist/tyrannical government (ALL nations combined into ONE), ONE world army, ONE world church (to worship lucifer/satan/devil). If the NWO comes to fruition, expect BILLIONS of people to be slaughtered for their 'depopulation agenda' and any of the 99% left will be completely at the lucifer worshiping's mercy as slaves to serve their evil pleasures, with all kinds of torture especially being their top level pleasure and there will be NO escape! </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">To help one to get a clearer picture of what it would be like on earth, if the NWO comes to fruition, just imagine the horrible situation in Syria right now and so many refugees fleeing the country for their lives. The zionist MSM is NOT telling us the Truth! The wicked elite, comprised of the aforementioned partners in crime, are plotting to set the stage for a World War III, and there are a number of covert operations underway to achieve this, because on the other side of World War III is the NWO's dawning. If this happens, the ENTIRE WORLD will be in the SAME STATE as Syria is right now, except there will be no place or country to escape to, because the ENTIRE WORLD will be under ONE tyrannical government. What the Syrians are suffering now, the whole world of the 99% will be suffering the very same and WORSE and we will have NO place to flee to! As long as we, the 99%, continue to let ourselves to be distracted and divided, all designed for us to be by the wicked elite, then we can plan on this unimaginably horrible event to eventually be our fate.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">What are the majority of the masses, the 99%, doing? Focusing on anything and everything BUT educating themselves with the truth! Most will watch a stupid movie or TV shows that are designed to program our minds in the elitist agenda favour. So many go all gaga over celebrities who are paid handsomely to help program our minds. MSM/TV and Hollywood are zionist/wicked elite controlled. How many are totally drawn in to all the various sports? How many are money and possessions' driven? How many are still buying and believing the zionist controlled mainstream media (MSM)? How many are into all sorts of schemes to take all they can from others, whether some sort of scamming to steal through one means or another or by actually stealing/robbing outright? How many harass, violate, impose on, etc. others? How many actually care about other people? How many cultivate a character of excellence, of integrity and virtue, by cultivating the values a character of excellence comprised of, being honest and keeping their word, humble, respectful, compassionate, kind, forgiving, empathetic instead of apathetic, etc.?</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">I witness it every day on the 'Net how people are hateful, spiteful, mean, cruel, heartless, etc. with all the name calling and such vulgarity! How can we, the 99%, ever do anything to stop the 1% in control of the 1% who are in control of us, the 99%, if we continually play right into OUR enemies' hands? We are 'willingly' being a divided, dumbed down bunch of sheeple!!! </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Humanity's enemy has learned very well how to capitalize on and exploit all of our human shortcomings and negative traits, especially hate and its related traits, and we're offering no resistance! Our enemy is all about hate, deceit, and wickedness. The best armor we have against them is the opposite, Love, truth, and goodness. If we partake and join in and divide ourselves with the same hate, deceit, and wickedness as our enemy is, then we are literally handing our enemy the victory they're after, which is all wrapped up in their NWO agenda. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">We NEED to educate and arm ourselves with the truth and then seek unity with Love, truth, and goodness, ALL of us of the 99%.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">I wrote this poem on February 28, 2018. I just came across and watched this video today and the video/documentary does an excellent job of reiterating the subject matter of my poem. I do spend a considerable amount of time, reading and listening for the purpose of educating myself with the truth. Weeding through trying to sort fact from fiction can be pretty difficult and even grueling at times. But I keep searching and weeding. My findings are touched upon in my poem in the hopes to either help to educate people and/or to inspire people to seek to educate themselves with truth. <br /><br />It's nearly three hours long, but it's much more important than watching TV promoting fake sympathy, some stupid, brainwashing movie, or playing some video game about killing, designed to desensitize us. This documentary does in fact, "connect many dots", dots we all need to be aware of and then come TOGETHER and act to stop the NWO agenda. We, the 99%, either wake up and get our act TOGETHER to save humanity OR we stay asleep in our bubbles and allow the wicked elite to destroy humanity. The choice is OURS. We need to start loving each other, caring for and about each other, and work TOGETHER to promote good among us. Only Love destroys hate; truth defeats lies and deceit, and good triumphs over evil. <b>Love one another.</b> </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">β₯</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">An example of pure evil and wickedness; an example of what kind of sub-human people are planning to bring the NWO to fruition. This should make blood boil among the 99%!</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><b>The Jesuit oath:</b></span></div>
<span style="color: #660000;"><i>"I furthermore promise and declare that I will, when opportunity present, make and wage relentless war, secretly or openly, against all heretics, Protestants and Liberals, as I am directed to do, to extirpate and exterminate them from the face of the whole earth; and that I will spare neither age, sex or condition; and that I will hang, waste, boil, flay, strangle and bury alive these infamous heretics, rip up the stomachs and wombs of their women and crush their infants' heads against the walls, in order to annihilate forever their execrable race. That when the same cannot be done openly, I will secretly use the poisoned cup, the strangulating cord, the steel of the poniard or the leaden bullet, regardless of the honor, rank, dignity, or authority of the person or persons, whatever may be their condition in life, either public or private, as I at any time may be directed so to do by any agent of the Pope or Superior of the Brotherhood of the Holy Faith, of the Society of Jesus."</i></span><br />

</center>
<span style="color: #073763;">Connect The Dots and the boxes complete</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">To see the true picture of the wicked elite.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">It's a matrix of lies we have been fed.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">For centuries most ALL humans they want dead.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">They care not how their mission is done,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Through infliction of illness or by a gun.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">They poison our food, water, and air;</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Our hearts, our minds, and they don't care.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Instead, they rejoice, revel, and celebrate</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">In our destruction, induced by hate.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">They exploit our weaknesses to the fullest extent,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">While they pretend caring for us is their true intent.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Mainstream media serves them well,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Guarding their secrets to never tell,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">While driving between us wedges so deep;</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">'Divide and conquer', their motto they keep.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Against each other, we're incited to fight</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">To keep us weak and with little might,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">For the elitists know they can never succeed</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Should the masses unite against their few breed.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">The wicked elite, though few in number, </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Control the world's wealth as they encumber</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The masses, to make us, the majority people,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Into obedient slaves, dumbed down sheeple.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Governments they own with their puppets in place,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Moving ever closer to annihilate the human race.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The terror, the wars, the mass destruction,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Is conducted by and for elitist instruction.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">The biggest conglomerates all work together,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">For after all, they're birds of a feather</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And the feather in common they all possess,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Is to serve the wicked and satan, impress.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Our politicians are bought, not really elected.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Hence, their votes as well are the same, affected.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Lobbying is bribery, legalized and condoned,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">A sure fire proof they are definitely owned.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">The food industry's allowed to poison our food,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">To keep us all sick, so wickedly shrewd</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">For big pharma to huge profits, reap,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">From all of us, the American sheep!</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Cancer, diabetes, all the diseases galore</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Are part of the plan in the invisible war</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The zionists have waged against us all,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But we aren't to know of this wicked cabal.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Obesity and sickness provides, too, a sizable yield</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">For the weight loss industry and the medical field.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The FDA is a joke, though not funny, indeed,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Only in place to fill big pharma's insatiable greed.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">There are so many fingers dipped into the pie</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">All lining their pockets, so slick and sly,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Each contributing to the massive corruption,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">As political puppets prevent its disruption.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Each others' backs they scratch and protect,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">A network of thugs without regard or respect</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">For human pain, suffering, sorrow, or grief.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">They relish their reaping, each heartless thief.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Health care in America, causing great debate</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">For deciding who gets what, is a heavyweight.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">It's a hard decision, dividing the wealth,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">At the expense of our wallets and grossly our health.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Insurance companies are now guaranteed</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">A piece of the pie for their own greed</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And lawyers, well, they never lose</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Gain from all sides, as they choose.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Connect The Dots to complete the boxes,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Watch closely, by more cunning than foxes,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">An intricate web woven of lies and deceit</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Will begin to form as each box you complete.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">They seek full control of our survival;</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Working overtime for a satan revival.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">They have no heart, but an evil, black soul;</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Serve satan faithfully to achieve his goal.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Over the world, for to, his wickedness, spread,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">To slaughter the masses with horrific bloodshed,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Is in full operation though impeccably discreet,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Until all the loose ends can be tied so neat.</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763;"><b>A ONE world church in the city of Rome</b></span><br />

<span style="color: #073763;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #073763;"><b>A ONE world army with its commander in chief</b></span><br />

<span style="color: #073763;"><b>The king of torment, suffering, and pain,</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><b>Seeking out souls for hell to gain.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;"><b>Under zionist rule of wicked decrees,</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><b>ALL we own they will claim and seize.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><b>Our money, our homes as forced concessions,</b></span><br />

<span style="color: #073763;"><b><br /></b></span>

<span style="color: #073763;">Over things that don't matter</span></div>

<span style="color: #073763;">The looming catastrophe </span></div>

<span style="color: #073763;">So ominously at hand,</span></div>

<span style="color: #073763;">For if we do, our own demise</span></div>

<span style="color: #073763;">Howdy folks! </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">β₯</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I did have this dream for real and while still fresh in my recollection, I just had to write about it, especially this one, for I haven't ever dreamed of any fantasy creature before. I can't help but wonder what it may mean. </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">β₯</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">"My Dream Of Uni-Belle"</span></center>
<center>
<span style="color: #073763;">(image pending)</span></center>
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I am a dreamer literally for I dream a lot</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">With most of them remembered, few of them forgot.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">My dreams are always based in reality,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Although quite mixed up they often tend to be.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">But this particular dream I had just yesterday</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Was different from all the rest, I have to say.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I've never dreamed before of a fantasy creature;</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Never before has fantasy entered as a feature.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">It seems, in my dream I had a unicorn,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The cutest little horse with a little horn.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">She was pure white like I've never seen,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Whiter than the snow, all fresh and clean.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Perfectly proportioned, rather small in size,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Maybe seven hands at her withers, I would surmise.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">She knew she held a place confirmed in my heart.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">She was a delight to watch and so very smart.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Her soft and low nickering never let me fear</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Her presence was very far but always close and near.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">She'd nuzzle me gently for treats and for pets.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Such a joy to me, she brought me no regrets.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">The center of attention she really loved to be</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And all her little antics were amusing to see.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Her moves so graceful, a ballerina couldn't beat;</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">She pranced like there was air underneath her feet.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">She would stamp her little foot, toss her head around,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Let her little haunches drop 'til they met the ground.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Then her little muzzle she would lift up towards the sky,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">As she'd neigh the cutest whinny with a pitch rather high.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">I loved to hear her whinny, a delight to my ear</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And she would whinny, be expecting then to hear</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">A response from me in the language that she spoke,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But as I replied with a whinny, sadly I awoke.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Now I'm left to wonder why she came to me</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">In a dream so surreal, as though reality.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">A reason for I seek, since my dreams often do foretell,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But about this one I am puzzled of my little Uni-Belle.</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763;">Howdy folks! </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">β₯</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">O, those scam calls, right? Annoying they can be but I get so many, I've learned to ignore them. If anyone I know wants to get in touch with me bad enough, they leave a voicemail, should I not recognise their number. All other calls are simply unimportant. </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">β₯</span><br />
<br />

<span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">"Scam Caller"</span></center>
<center>
<span style="color: #073763;">(image pending)</span></center>
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">How do you choose the numbers,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">By random or by choice?</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">What's the point in calling me,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">When you'll never hear my voice?</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">So much wasted time you spend</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Ringing up my phone,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Aren't there better ways</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">To spend the time you own?</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">I do not answer calls</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">From a number I don't know,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Regardless where it's from</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Or how many in a row.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And robo calls with messages,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Computer generated</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Are so fake and phony,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">A minus ten they're rated.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">If you'll stoop this low,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">To be annoying every day,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">What about your character</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Does your behaviour say?</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Anyone who gains by stealing,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">No matter how or what they steal,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Can't have self respect nor</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Good about themselves, feel.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Are you really this desperate</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">In the misery where you wallow,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">You can only in this rut</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Stay in and follow?</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Or are you just a narcissist</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Who gets pleasure causing pain,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Havoc, and discord abundantly,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">While promoting selfish gain?</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">A scam is a scam,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Built on/around deceit</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">No matter how it's cloaked,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">A scammer is a cheat.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">To paint yourself so clearly</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">In such an unbecoming light,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">While you justify your actions,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Bending wrong into right,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Puts you in a class</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Of the lowest form.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">How can you be okay with this</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And accept this as your norm?</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763;">Howdy folks! </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">β₯</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">When I saw this contest by Line Gauthier on <a href="https://www.poetrysoup.com/" target="_blank">Poetry Soup</a>, I knew instantly, if I wrote a poem, it would have to be about the solitude I've always been able to soak in to free my deepest, truest place when surrounded by animals and nature. As a child, my solitude with nature was my 'safe haven' I would escape to, to heal my wounds of abuse and bullying and in this blissful, peaceful serenity is where I especially liked to draw, paint, and write. Hence, this poem... </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">β₯</span><br />
<br />
<center>
<span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">"Solitude With Nature"</span></center>
<center>
<span style="color: #073763;">(image pending)</span></center>
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">In solitude I like to bask when I am all alone</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">With only Mother Nature in company with my own.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Animals and nature make welcoming to be,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">A serene place of peace, where I am set free.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Ever since a child, when atrocities I faced,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">My safe haven was with nature, where I felt embraced</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And accepted in appearance with not a bit of shame,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">With no one poking fun, making foul of my name.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">In Solitude With Nature was my place of inspiration,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Where I would draw and write in pure liberation.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">My canvases were painted from the beauty all around</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And words flowed like rivers instead of being drowned.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">God's Presence was surreal with no worldly intervention</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And His Gift began to blossom as was His Intention.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">My Mother's words felt real that I was a Gifted child,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">As she often said lovingly and too, as she smiled.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">With my pencil and my brush, as though a camera lens,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I captured my adventures with nature and my friends.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">With my pen or pencil, too, I would break the chain,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">As words set me free from my deepest, inner pain.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">My Solitude With Nature is where my heart is expressed;</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Where I'm freest, most inspired for the Gift with I am blessed.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Even when I can't return to bask in Mother Nature's solitude,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">My memories take me back to where the world cannot intrude.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Sipping on my coffee on this first day of May,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">With the sun shining brightly, finally on display,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">A movement of a branch so close to my window pane,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Caught my eye suddenly to, my attention, gain.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">I moved closer to the window to get a better look, </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And I was treated to a scene in God's Coloring Book.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">O such a treat on this morning to begin my day.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">They don't come much better no matter what they say.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Two birds were at play, were taking center stage,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Their delightful antics my awe they did engage.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">They had come to my window to perform their little skit</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And I was with pleasure watching every little bit.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Their play wasn't long but it was surely sweet</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">As ma and pa cardinal danced upon their winged feet.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">It was crystal clear this happy, wedded pair</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Was showing off their Love in the crisp, morning air.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">They touched their beaks together in a gentle, birdie kiss.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Then he bowed to his lady, a gentleman and void of remiss.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">As he performed for her with a flirty, chirping sound </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">He flitted all about her, up and down, around.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">She took it all in as she turned, watching every move</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And I think I even saw her nod as though she did approve.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">When his performance was over, he came next to her to sit.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">It was just a break before scene two of their little skit.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Next, a chase began as from branch to branch they flew,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Like a game of tag to see just who could catch who.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Although, pa cardinal seemed to do the most chasing,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Ma obviously was letting him for some winged embracing.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">All too soon their show closed with no drawing of a curtain,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">For they perched themselves briefly and I am quite certain,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">They each took a bow to themselves and then bowed to me</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And off they flew away together to where I couldn't see.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Though my coffee'd become chilled, I took some more sips.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I felt blessed watching one of nature's unrehearsed clips.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Although a bit sad now, the birdie show was over,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I felt like a bunny who had just enjoyed clover.</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763;">Howdy folks! </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">β₯</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">When we join, become a member of a website, we never think that the programmer or programmers of the site is/are going to use our login information to track us to use for deceptive purposes to cause havoc in our lives or to cause us and/or our devices harm. If this were the case, no one would be joining any site! </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">I do believe for the most part, most computer programmers have and live by some sort of a code of ethics and I'm aware some tracking is done for advertising purposes. But what I speak of here is NOT about tracking for advertising purposes. My login information was used to track me, yes, but also to use it to gain access to my computers in a profoundly invasive way; to watch and see and know EVERYTHING I am doing and saying, particularly in private. ..And not only have my computers has he gained access to, but also my phones, beginning with my landline.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">It's been going on for eleven plus years, almost twelve, that I've been able to trace back to and so, it's become blatantly obvious I'm dealing with a person who has no real life to speak of, of his own, if he has nothing better to do with his time than to invade my life. I would hate to have his Karma bill! He must like to paint his own portrait as a despicable human being. </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">β₯</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">"Cyberstalking Nightmare"</span></center>
<center>
<span style="color: #073763;">(image pending)</span></center>
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Back in two thousand plus some years more of five,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">When computers I'd just met, didn't yet with jive;</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">When a computer was just a box of technology,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">A box of fascination and luring like a giant mystery,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I ventured out onto the Web, called the Internet,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And a choice I made then became a nightmare and is yet.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">In the month of March, just inside the line,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I joined a community site, thought to be fine.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">At first, though a newbie, it was an enjoyable place</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And I was more than delighted to meet each new face.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Besides much to learn, there were so many things to do,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">A place of fantasy for artists as well as writers, too.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">I grew to love this place. It was my online home</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And never too far away from this site did I roam.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I became devoted and dedicated, I couldn't do enough.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Wiki work I loved along with all sorts of other stuff.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Contributing to the site with graphics, time, and money</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I considered as a pleasure but my reward wasn't funny.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Later on I joined another site, for children was its fame, </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Built with like features and the owner was also the same.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">In time I joined the staff who help to run each site</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And became the grand mod and for awhile, all was alright.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Then the monkey business began, sporadically at first</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Pranks were played on me, increasingly the worst.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">I assumed they were because of a glitch or a bug,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But eventually I would lift and see underneath the rug.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The owner and the programmer, of the same identity,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Was behind the pranks that were happening to me.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I attempted to find out the what for and too, the why</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">From him, then others, but the results were only dry.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Instead, the owner and the staff mocked and bullied me</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And I was grossly ostracised, called paranoid and crazy.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Then to add insult to injury I would also have to learn,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The second in command was plotting to destroy me and burn.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">She had learned of the owner's secret activity;</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Jealous she became and wanted to get rid of me.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">All this was bad enough but it was just the beginning part,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">For pranks became violations, the true nightmare would start.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">With my login data, he was provided much information</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">That he would then use to track me, commit each violation.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">He hacked into my emails, my websites, anywhere I was online,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Then into my computer and would gain access to my landline.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">He knows everything I do, everything I say</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">That's done via technology, each and every day.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Eleven years and counting and this nightmare goes on</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And there's nothing I can do about this spying jon.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">He tracks packages right up to my front door;</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Makes spam calls to my phone daily and galore.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">He stalks me everywhere across the Internet,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Makes sure I know his presence, lest I should forget.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">He destroyed my computer on October 4, 2015,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Fulfilling his threat to remove me from the online scene.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">His presence in my life I must live with every day,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Whether I like it or not, since I'm without any say.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Yes, I've reported him to the FBI and too, the FCC.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">They are well aware what he is, has been doing to me.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Still, they do nothing though equipped with resources</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And many others I've pursued, many other courses.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But all avenues have led me to just another dead end</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And I'm left to live with this anguish I can't mend.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Most don't want to know; most don't want to hear</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">About this hell I live with daily, year after year.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I try to brush it off by applying humour any time I can,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But the fact is I'm dealing with an obsessive, sick man.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">He lives on his computer and hides behind it, too,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Uses his tech skills to wreak havoc, stir his sick brew.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">In life we go through many unpleasant circumstances,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But eventually we get through them, can then make advances</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">To move forward with the ugly and the pain left behind.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">We accept the fact that life can be at times quite unkind.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I keep hoping for the day, waiting to place this in my past,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But this ongoing nightmare appears it's to forever last.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">How I wish I could turn back the hands of time</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And know what I know now, written in this rhyme.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But I cannot and so, this torment with I must live</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And grasp each spec of joy life to me will give.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">To say it's not easy dealing with this nightmare I face</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Is redundant but not when you're trying to do so with grace.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">I've offered my forgiveness, even understanding,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But this is just a game to him, his ego is demanding.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">He can't be very happy, if his life is to follow me around</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Everywhere, with spam calls, as to me they are bound.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">His life must be empty, of fulfillment, pitiful and lacking,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">If he's so obsessed with my life to keep on with his hacking</span><span style="color: #073763;">.</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">"Golden Wings Express"</span></center>
<center>
<span style="color: #073763;">(image pending)</span></center>
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">As I checked my mail one day as I always do,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">In the box was waiting a package with no clue</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Of who it was from, from whom it was sent,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And for sure it puzzled me as did, its content.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">I could hear no ticking or no noise at all,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Hence, the bomb squad I needn't then call.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">There wasn't any powder, dust, even smudges;</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Signs that could warn of one holding grudges.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">I shook it a little but there was no rattle,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Turned it over for a clue that just might tattle.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Still, nothing moved or shifted on the inside,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">As I became increasingly more mystified.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">So, to find the answers to the questions I sought</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">About this package unknown to me'd been brought,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The only choice left was to open it and see</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">What was within this package and sent to me.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">I cut apart the heavy string all tied aroun';</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I tore away the wrapping of a plain brown.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I opened up the box, where tucked in tissue carefully,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Was a glass, angel trinket with a note addressed to me.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">It read, "I saw you in the thrift store with your little girl,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">A pretty, precious child; clearly she's your pearl.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">When you placed this angel back upon the shelf,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I read your face and heart and I couldn't help myself.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">As I listened to your words and heard what you said,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Tears swelled my eyes as your sorrow I was fed.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">When you spoke of the sentiment of someone dear you lost,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I knew the angel must be yours, regardless of the cost.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Although you know me not, I've learned of your name</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And where you live to make this angel all yours to claim.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I hope some joy I've brought to you to ease a bit your sorrow</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And may this angel do the same through your every day, tomorrow.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Please know too, this angel represents an angel over you</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And your little girl so precious with eyes so bright and blue.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">There's no postage on this package and no return address,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Because angels are Heaven sent by the Golden Wings Express!"</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">At the risk of sounding redundant with words said before,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">No words can describe my feelings, though words I know galore.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But there were no words that I could even say or speak,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">As the tears ran like torrents racing down my cheek.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Overwhelmed, amazed, so grateful and yet, still mystified,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But then, through God anything's possible when He's glorified!</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">The trinket isn't any trinket as is inscribed my Mother's name,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And you see, my daughter's and my Mother's name is the same.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">When just a little girl on my birthday, number six,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">While fussing with my hair, she liked to pretty, fix</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">I made a promise to my Mother, that when I was grown,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">If I had a little girl, by her name she'd be known.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">The angel trinket had belonged to my Mother</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">And when she passed away my selfish, heartless brother,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Took over everything and sold all her things away;</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Breaking his promise he made to her on her dying day.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">We may think God is not watching when we are deeply grieving,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">When another does us wrong, as our joy they are thieving,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">But it is perfectly and so crystal clear to me,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">There's nothing He doesn't know; nothing He doesn't see.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">An Angel sent from Heaven with a Message Heaven sent,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">With an angel in a box to clearly represent,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">There are Angels watching, their assignments are from God,</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Over all of His children who on His Righteous Path, trod.</span><br />
