Hi Thanks, still faffing around with it lolYeah, please do
That is a really great piece of poetry. I like the style of it, thanks for sharing it:)A poem. Thanks for the thread and being okay with me posting here SOTTREADER, it's not really ever finished.. Just some thoughts put into rhymes. This is about how things might be put in place in a negative way at times of change or transition when people make the decision to change for the positive, or do work that benefits others, or kind of about what might happen to those who make the choice to live in a positive/STO way and how things may deflect or block them from this.
Also about some lessons of life and what they taught me. Poem or any stuff i do is inspired by Laura's work and all the things related to it, so thanks for that always
(this goes on a bit long). .
Alone who can stand
Even those who are strong
In this darkened land
Where a seed when planted
How does it grow
Just becomes stunted
Twisted and low
It's not always
The easiest thing
To follow the right way
So I had to pray
To make better choices
And hear better voices
So I could live in a place
Where a soul could grow
But It's not always the
Easiest thing
With a mind programmed
To be worrying
It's not always easy
To see the light
When hunted by thieves
Who take delight
In our misery
Throughout history
Since then we have
Been messed up by their lies
It's a mystery
For our history
How they have been
A messin with time
I asked myself why
I kept on failing
And found it so hard
In this life to find joy
Whenever I thought
That I was prevailing
I could not
No matter what
Work I deployed
She said you were hurt
And became distorted
So they could play
With you like little toys
Then you chose the dark ways
Those that then may
Have led you to lives
Where you could be destroyed
She said be kind to others
As they too have been hounded
No one is perfect
Try not to forget
Understand that they too
Have been wounded
She told me to be good
Or you may regret
I saw then that
I'd created conditions
Through all of
My bad attitudes
Like a radio station
With the old renditions
That just keeps on playing
The same bad old tune
So many times
We had been mistreated
Outnumbered, many times
And this was repeated
And then the damage
Turned into their fuel
When hurt by those
Who were mocking and cruel
And sometimes they weren't
It was in the perceiver
With all those thoughts
From my old receiver
She said learn to discern
From these things
That attack you
Like who lurks
In the cracks
Of this old town
But be there for those
Who have defend you
And see truth behind those
Who do you down
How I hope now
I understand more
As how many times
Have we been here before
And i remember
Alone way back when
Each battle we fought
Was lost in the war
As each time
I tried to defend her
They kept hurting the one
That I adored
But somehow with faith
It turns back around
It's like the weapon
On the battleground
This way I remember
What they did to me
And turn my pain
Into harmony found
Like these lessons they brought
Something more profound
The hurt turned to mortar
That builds solid ground
With faith somehow
It turnes back around
Those hurts turned to bricks
That will build solid ground
These lessons they brought
Me to a place
With trust and faith
To find will to fight
Change and then learn
From dark i turned
After all these long years
Back to the light
