OK,
I have been remiss in my mission.
Reading and responding to those of you who have posted
poetry and prose for our perusal and appreciation.
Ambrocious,
You write an intensive treatise.
We've known each other on here for awhile,
and have conversed a bit, now and again.
You speak of a soulless desperation, and the futility of the good fight.
Nay, I say to you, it is a plight
against which we all must be ever
vigilant and full of might!
Lo, though we may tread near or e'en
through The Valley of the Shadow of Death - we shall fear No Evil!
Death is not an intrinsic evil.
His is an honorable duty, to
escort us when our time has come
to the rewards of our great beyond.
And, as for those "oblivious",
No doubt some are, but for others,
mayhaps not such a fuss.
For though many of us have not the perfect life,
and we've encountered mor'n a "bit of strife",
We continue to battle like the Good Wife,
fighting to carve out a niche
near enough our loved ones
that though we sometimes bitch,
We know in our hearts,
of them we are parts,
just as they,
come what may,
are part of us, too.
Life is not to us handed on a platter of Gold,
Nor e'en Silver, truth be told.
And mistakes we've made,
as part of our lot in this life,
which, no doubt, has added to our
Earthbound strife.
BUT! Life is precious, a gem from on high. And love 'round us DOES Abound,
waiting to be found.
And sometimes we fare trip o'er it, aye?
For 'tis Our OWN blindness from the shite in OUR eye
that prevents us from seeing what's been there all along,
just waiting for us to join in the song.
That's not the same as having life all our way, Nay.
For LIVING means getting up each day
and WILLINGLY joining into the Fray
to battle back scorn, and loathsome despair,
and preserving what's good, just, and fair.
We imbue you with Love and Caring, kind sir, each day you're here on God's green Earth, with or out myrrh.
Just open your arms, heart, and willing mind,
and let our ministrations your troubled wounds, bind.

MateoBoi,
I have to agree with FreeFall - your "nothing" certainly isn't.
It is a dark foil, of sorts, to Ambrocious' heavy treatise from the downtrodden side of life.
I am reminded, in a frightening sort of way of "Tommy" by The Who, and the mindless, at any cost, drug-induced sexfunk searching for gratification with no substance.
Spooky.

Ambrocious,
Sinister as Silence definitely leaves my mind reeling,
trying to discern how to unravel the dark tapestry.
Much truth there is within your verse,
Sadly, that's what makes it all the more perverse!
For Whether "Left" or "Right" or Up or Down, the power mongers among us bring us naught but frown.
Their parasitic need to suck us dry,
wending their ways to the end of days,
manipulating the truth as they see fit,
then tell us their vampiric "kiss" won't hurt a bit.
We have Glenn and John both on the Mall,
Reflecting the anger, disillusionment's pall.
But, You are RIGHT at the end of the day,
WE must fight, in our words and our play.
And ALL bear the burden of Life's Liberty.
It's hard work and courage we all need,
to bring sense back to the politico's and our messages to heed.

And, YES, You ARE a part of the Human(e) Race! Mayhaps you need to be in a different part of this great country to find, once again, your face and Grace!

Molotov,
I already posted, jsut making sure I don't miss someone accidentally.

MateoBoi,
I still am feeling my brain twist and contort a bit at the visual / sensory feelings your disconnected perverseness brings!
(Don't take that as an insult - it's not meant to be!)

Witness Fallacy
I'm trying to relate to your newfound role as an impartial observer of life - trying hard not to insert a storyline in what you see, but to reserve judgment till all is revealed to thee.
Perspective - a funny invective.
We see through the filters of our own lives
and, hence, what's on offer our mind's interpretation plies.
But what we might "see"
in the light of day might flee.
which brings us back to your
haunting poetry.

There's mor'n a bit of irony in that vid!
p.s. love your running commentary - and your Sprinkles on top!
You are one sick bastard, lol.

And, such a short, succinct recap of an evening's events?
---
Gus, I do believe I've found where you've not been hiding - I just have been wating to get through all of you till I did justice to Ambrocious' work.
A bit of cornery and schtik to go with the candy coated stick?!
Next up, a response to post #425.
Back in a few!
