form another idea.

express another concern.

we'll have a
difference of opinion in the
fullest sense of the word.

forget how much we've been saving.

don't second guess what we've spent.

the cost is lost in the lessons that we
show for in the end.

some people call it the present,

and others call it a curse,

but we can
all agree that our time here
..isn't extracurricular.

a hundred different ways
to throw the chemicals off,
but all you need to know
it's an ephemeral cause.
and even if you're ready
you'll be caught off guard

like cameras
capturing you blink.

for no one is invincible
from visceral law.
emotions can imprison
with invisible bars.
it's hard but you should know
that we can live with our scars.

we'll be paroled
and free.

a hundred different ways
for us to relieve the pain.
each one of them effective
or at least not in vain.
a closet full of skeletons
will take you all day

but will be worth
the WAIT!

and so i hope that you can cope
with what you don't want to feel.
it's easy to concede it
but it's hard when it's real.
our heart's will harden
like a callous, starting to heal.

SO JUST PUMICE IT ALL AWAY!!!

OK?

my tolerance for incompetence
is obviously under modulus
intense tensive stress pressed
upon me
it's no nominal anomaly.

insomniatic consequences collect
with compounding interest
astounding acts of disrespect
compress my lack of patience.

I'm barely present in the moment
often engrossed in intellectual opus
enough with the hocus pocus
this stone just won't produce water
it's hopeless.

open minds let locusts in
and closed ones pay the pope in sin
good folks cope with life
on the inside,
too shy to reveal
they know the solution.

you're **** right he is a war hero just because he was captured.
he was there.
he took the risks.
he was captured and imprisoned in the line of selfless duty for his country.
how does that NOT make him a war hero?
To suggest otherwise is disgustingly disrespectful to service members and America itself.
what is wrong with this guy?
and why do so many turn a blind eye to this gross malfeasance?
wake up people!
it's ok to admit that he's not perfect.
even if you stand by his platform,
it serves you well to admit when his rough edges are out of line.  otherwise you cloud the logic of any good points you may have.
Just be human.  be real.. This man has absolutely no diplomacy skills whatsoever.
a skill that is absolutely required for the job.
Go ahead and hate me for expressing my views if you want to.  My choices during these times are either depression or anger..  
I'll wax and wane through each until these new dark ages are over.
you're just going to have to deal with it in your own way, just as I am.  it is what it is...

even when i have a strong opinion about something
it does not mean that i believe that the government should force that opinion on others.
matters of opinion should almost never be forced on others

i say almost never because the definition of opinion can vary.
if your opinion infringes upon the rights of another, the opinion in opposition to that should very well be forced upon you by a governing body.

Remember that the US Constitution does not "give" you any rights at all.  Rather, it is set up to prevent the government from infringing on a set of rights that are understood as being intrinsic to natural law.. These God given rights exist on their own accord, regardless of any man-made Constitution.  The Founders set forth with intent to limit the government, not to define gracious allowances for it's subjects.

These rights are non-negotiable!

what makes people think there is but only one path to the Divine?
are there not trees of oak, maple, and pine?

And though branches and leaves be unique,
do they not all reach towards the sky?

"My God" he said.
"My God, why have you forsaken me?"

oh how the human condition
clouds the spirit deep within.

such pain and suffering
are distractions
absolutely unignorable

it is known,
it is understood,
it is forgiven..

those that suffer most
hear the inner call the least
they that need the most
are all but left deceased

let me share your burden, brother
that yoke upon your bothered shoulders
let me help your mind be still
so the light behind your window sill
can shine through

and with thorny crown removed
let us meditate
so as to fade that stained glass
allowing pure,
unfiltered rays to penetrate
unadulterated
uncorrupted
unrelayed

straight into the depths of your precious heart.
