Posted: 9/11/2009 3:47:57 AM | I agree
we still live in American
with the freedom
to choose what we put our faith in.
I served in the military
to preserve that right for all albeit
Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus and even atheist.
Hey, when you
see a post by me, do not linger there.
I am not here to waste anyone's time.
Who are you ANGRY with? | |

Posted: 9/11/2009 3:42:20 PM | fear
does not mean
respect
to me...
i fear
a crazy man
with a gun
i do not
respect him
god i do not fear
but embrace
his spirit
with my own
seeing the light
in he
in me
in you
gently, beautifully
eternally | |

Posted: 9/11/2009 4:09:38 PM | Appears I am not
a very good communicator
Fear as respect is only used in reference to God.
I did it again lipo
I capitlized God's name out of
respect
Guess our relationship is based on respect (fear)
thus it is appropriate for ME
to do so
You, my friend, do as you please (not that
I need to tell you that)lol | |

Posted: 9/12/2009 2:37:26 AM | i love the sound of words
and look them up
often
sometimes i am right
sometimes i am wrong
fear and respect
have spent some time
on this thread
so i do what i do
and look them up
fear: an unpleasant emotion
caused by the belief
that someone or something
is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat
respect: a feeling of deep admiration
for someone or something
elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements
three things i have learned in life
just because i believe something doesn't make it true
what i believe shapes my world
and when i am wrong i am oh, so human | |

Posted: 9/12/2009 4:06:08 AM | Sorry for the disconnect
but the use of fear in the manner used
is a Biblical concept
I will not bore you with the
details of Hebrew, Greek
translations
As you well know words take on shades of
meaning, depending on the
context
Ok lipo back off,
this read is not for you. lol | |

Posted: 9/14/2009 2:48:51 PM | ahhh...
biblical concept of fear
hmmm
damnation and all that
right?
me???
i will gently
be me
reaching
for kindred spirits
not out of fear
of damnation
but out of joy
allowing
everyone to believe
the way they seem fit
i only ask
i am treated the same
(now...may we talk about my new place?!!!....
am quite happy...feels good to my soul!) | |

Posted: 9/14/2009 3:27:46 PM | Had a worker in my truck the other day
He's an elder in Jehovah Witness
Anyway he's my trimmer man on Tuesdays and Fridays when I mow the lawn
Now I've know this man my whole life
And I asked him why Jehovah's Witness don't allow smokers
His answers was that it was against God's wishes to defile the body
Well this man is a junkie and he starts ever day with a Dilaudid and Vicoden
And I said what the fvck is that bullshit you say about difiling the body
And I've known him all my life
And he has a torn screen where his cat's come and go
And the other day a racoon got caught in his live trap in the garage
He got his neighbor and rationalizing the idea of racoons entering his home
And of course the rabies that they sometimes carry
Well they got a pitch fork and started jabbing at it for around 10 minutes
The horror, the terror, the madness, the pain, the screaming, the hissing
Of this racoon in a live cage. They couldn't kill cause the forks weren't long enough to
penetrate the side welds. So they dragged the blood smeared cage into a garbage can
and then through one of them poisen smoke grenade, you know the kind you throw in the tunnel. Well finally after 5 minutes he suffucated and died
Now I said why not just take him out to the game preserve 3 miles away and realease him in the wild. Oh he said he would probably just end up in another neighborhood terrorizing some poor human.
Well, I can't begin to tell you the Cardinal sin of rage surged in every nerve
"So you had to fvcking torture the coon locked in a cage. Two big 50 year old men."
And then he quoted some scripture that I heard again and again my whole life
"God gave man dominion over the animals"
Whoa now, you are really talking some shit. You knowledge doesn't even let your eyes see the torture on this coon....Now, I'm in some deep cardinal sin now.
And to top it off he quoted some passage of David fighting a Lion.
That's when I dropped him off.
I ain't no animal rights activist but I'll be dammed at the fears of man and the unknown nature of other things.
That's the last time I pick him up, but maybe I'll go out and catch a blue racer in a pillow case and drop it off in his home.
I won't do that of course but I tell ya, the thought crossed my mind. | |

Posted: 9/14/2009 4:06:02 PM | Sorry Rose,
I get angry some times. Religion is good, but I grew up in a time, that it was beat into me.
And I've met some true Christians who inspired me to live a life of virtue. But, I've also seen the other side of quote quote Christians and the hypocracy was murderous in obsession of right verses wrong. Sorry to leave such anger on your thread. Peace...

Posted: 9/14/2009 4:38:02 PM | Hey float,
I think your preception is
both true and honest
thus one should
focus on a realtionship
with one's Creator
and not some man-made
concoction of religious practice | |

Posted: 9/15/2009 12:39:18 PM | maybe it is time
for me to move on
and live life fully
in my sacred place
and feed my mind
with happiness and love
(dealing with my reality
the best i can)
and let others float merrily
on their way... | |

Posted: 9/24/2009 11:06:32 AM | Well, my new thread only handles the
"We Are More Alike Than We Are Different Part."
Unless, there is some
paradox out there
that I am not
aware of? | |

Posted: 9/25/2009 12:53:58 PM | gentle touch
sensitive kiss
eyes of fresh green
float along this cool river
light as a feather
retreat and recover
gold within quartz
heal our wounds
cry our cry
time is the gift
tiny hummingbird
so fast
so smart
a friend
her blouse is open
her sturdy legs
physical
natural
warm
she's busy reading
my moment passed
to write this afternoon's poem | |

Posted: 9/26/2009 1:15:59 PM | just posted this on 'we're more alike than different' thread...
haven't written much lately (haven't written anything any good at all!)
but am in the high desert which makes me rejoice...
high desert
poetry in motion
flowers bloom
after monsoon
sunset skies
painted brilliance
rhythm of the desert
sings me to sleep | |

Posted: 9/27/2009 11:49:36 AM | i like your work pme. thought i would bring this over.
of all shapes and colors
of notes lost and blue
of nights squiriming neath the covers
of regrets that are quite true
of words on yellowed pages
of vinyl full of pops
of nameless names forgotten
of bottles full of hops
of brewing pots of coffee
of empty kegs of beer
of living life afraid of change
of changing out of fear
of days of non-conformity
of haze to feed my head
of days lost to self righteousness
of praying to be dead
of days spent lost in apathy
of pains too great to bare
of days ruled by selfishness
of wrongs too wrong to share
of shades pulled to hide daylight
of phones unplugged to ring
of chains latched to the barstool
of souls too sick to sing | |
