Tailgate lately?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was stopped today by a person sitting over the stop line again this one was talking on their cell phone, stopping the flow of traffic stopping the movement of commerce, stopping the economy, stopping where you shouldn't be, why does the state mark that intersection so tight in the first place? Why do cars crash and why are trucks always late? Could it be the motor vehicle accordion?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Distracted drivers, talking to their passengers stopping for every traffic light that they come to, stopping the guy behind you, stopping egress, stopping progress, stopping our world from moving around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brake check!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lock em up!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fire up the grill and get yourself a girl... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Party time!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No one is moving might as well have some fun...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Back To:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=http://tgwbteachings.blogspot.com/2009/09/do-you-know-how-to-drive.html&gt;Do you know how to drive?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=http://tgwbmyblogposts.blogspot.com/2009/03/social-sciences.html &gt;Social Sciences&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; &lt;a href= http://tgwbmyblogs.blogspot.com/2007/08/communati.html&gt;  Indexing and Organizing My Writings and Posts&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17815225-6301787069764273865?l=tgwbmypoetry.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tgwbmypoetry.blogspot.com/feeds/6301787069764273865/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17815225&amp;postID=6301787069764273865' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17815225/posts/default/6301787069764273865'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17815225/posts/default/6301787069764273865'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tgwbmypoetry.blogspot.com/2009/07/tailgate-lately.html' title='Tailgate lately?'/><author><name>Gary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04338663788643861497</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://tinypic.com/j5c8yt.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17815225.post-2064326722211955525</id><published>2009-07-04T18:39:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2009-07-04T18:53:27.331-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Questions collected over time</title><content type='html'>What is true love and does true love exist?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There certainly is a difference between being in love and being a slave for love and I have a song to sing the missing part of a duet that wasn't allowed to be an equal member of which I have paid my dues...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is time to sing...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is time to share...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll be working today, working on a personal project...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Listen to the heart beat of the life of love hindered by lies words repeated by a world gone mad...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Listen to the song and read the truth to know the path eternal is a narrow path where no lie can exist.

When later your ears finally opened and you came to understand, many years had passed I was no longer a boy yet I was still hurt, and you never knew of the other struggles when I couldn't turn to find your support, I didn't want to get kicked under that chair again, it was better when I get beat up just to shut my mouth and swallow what might come, either I'll survive or I'll be killed because our enemy is right here next door, our neighbors could care less about right or wrong, they just don't care about the other guy laying in the gutter. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They pass the victims by, never batting an eye, until one day it is them in the ditches of life and they wonder why? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe one day you'll see that the stand I took for the right to be able to speak the truth, in court and in church was all part of a greater plan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You see Dad, I learned right from wrong, and I know all the times that I was abused, well those were wrong events, that should have never happened.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I should have been able to talk to you, but often there were things that couldn't be said, you felt that I was a disgrace to your name, &lt;br /&gt;I understand now how you looked at me and past me, you tried to reach me, &lt;br /&gt;Twisted stomach half removed&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is a good thing I didn't catch on to fighting your way, if I did you would never be reading this letter now. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not that you will, but in truth, I'd be dead, the bad people in high places would have pulled their triggers; instead of threatening with guns, put to my head. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'd certainly be dead. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know if I fought back they would have killed me for sure, I must take other avenues to overcome this abuse and violence that makes our world turn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I choose to use my fingers, my typing skills that I learned, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;they taught me that the pen is mightier than the sword, how can a word cut through to the core, of this I was never really sure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But now, maybe they will see, just maybe they will know the real me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I didn't fight back not on their terms, and for that, I'm not the man I was made to be, I danced to the beat of a different drum, I spun back around a pivot you see. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But who else knows of this pivot maneuever that I used? Of course he snuck his car up as close as he could. I could kneel on the bumper and his game is still afoot. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That lying detective you wanted to protect, what of all the people this man managed to convict? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I say yeah! What about all the innocent people this man lied about and what about all of the bad people that this man managed to help out? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Innocent people in jail and criminals let loose, what deals have you made to commit your son, and convict the innocent along with my mother the two of you betrayed your child, how could you act and do and say all those horrible things? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Allowing bullies to rule the streets and take my life away. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My dreams dashed upon the shores of time, everything was wasted and for naught, nothing good comes of any lie. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nothing good comes from any of the lies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your eternal slave, in agony...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17815225-4621125980229898996?l=tgwbmypoetry.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://communati.com/main/organizing-topics-progress' title='Father&apos;s Day'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tgwbmypoetry.blogspot.com/feeds/4621125980229898996/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17815225&amp;postID=4621125980229898996' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17815225/posts/default/4621125980229898996'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17815225/posts/default/4621125980229898996'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tgwbmypoetry.blogspot.com/2007/09/fathers-day.html' title='Father&apos;s Day'/><author><name>Gary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04338663788643861497</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://tinypic.com/j5c8yt.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17815225.post-8389401584505511548</id><published>2007-09-02T11:46:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2007-09-02T14:52:19.024-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Mother's Day</title><content type='html'>Mothers Day&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mommy Dearest, &lt;br /&gt;it once again is Mother's day, &lt;br /&gt;and what can I say?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I say something nice it would only be a lie, &lt;br /&gt;I'm not like you, I won't lie,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unlike you I won't hit myself and claim that it was done by someone else,&lt;br /&gt;I won't enter into your house and tear your marriage apart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm here because you put yourself in a situation that allowed me to be. &lt;br /&gt;I wanted you to love me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so you lied...&lt;br /&gt;Again I cried!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17815225-8389401584505511548?l=tgwbmypoetry.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://communati.com/main/individual-abuse' title='Mother&apos;s Day'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tgwbmypoetry.blogspot.com/feeds/8389401584505511548/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17815225&amp;postID=8389401584505511548' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17815225/posts/default/8389401584505511548'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17815225/posts/default/8389401584505511548'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tgwbmypoetry.blogspot.com/2007/09/mothers-day.html' title='Mother&apos;s Day'/><author><name>Gary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04338663788643861497</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://tinypic.com/j5c8yt.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17815225.post-8449646480241374208</id><published>2007-08-19T11:56:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2007-09-02T15:31:16.935-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Mister Mechanic</title><content type='html'>This post is dedicated to the man that has hurt me many times, emotional abuse is also physical abuse, when one action leads to others acting against the innocent and victims are violated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other day I reported two problems with the vehicle I use for employment an image of this type of vehicle can be found here: &lt;a href=http://communati.com/main/working-images&gt;Links to a Picture of the type of truck and My Story&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My mechanic at work is weaving his web to violate me and so I could join the ranks of the unemployed soon. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I feel like one who is about to be crushed by a failed government that doesn't care about the individuals and individual safety.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The rich get richer, and the poor get smothered by abusers that are bullies constantly taking pieces out of the supports, in truth. There are two extremes; 1.) those that violate people violently with out a god in their heart or lives and 2.) those that are so righteous that they can't see or ignore the violence all around them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At both extremes are fools that ruin life ignorant or very aware of the role each person has in participation with others and nature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the mechanic changed the hoist cable on my truck he left me a little message, a screw dropped, thrown, or put on the bed of my truck. The other task was left undone, he claimed the system was not malfunctioning, yet there is clearly a problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So once again, a reported problem isn't a problem when it is reported and not recorded, and to work around the malfunction puts the operator in jeopardy. In other words once again instead of making the minor repair, I have to work around something that would jeopardize my employment, if I circumvent the problem I risk the burden of a catastrophe. Both ways I suffer, and the mechanic sits back grinning ear to ear. I feel like a mine worker and the mountain is about to crash down upon me, or as though I'm crossing a bridge and it collapses...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But we all know that &lt;a href=http://communati.com/main/im-bad-man-progress&gt;I'm the bad guy...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is a poem dedicated to Leonard Zepp (Leonifer)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mister Mechanic&lt;br /&gt;You left my nuts loose and dangling,&lt;br /&gt;I came to you for a fix,&lt;br /&gt;You left me in disrepair, completely showing me disrespect, you failed, your tasks, I didn't like when you laughed.&lt;br /&gt;Mister Mechanic&lt;br /&gt;You played with my hydraulics then you left my tank empty and drained, my pump burned out and my fittings leak.&lt;br /&gt;Mister Mechanic&lt;br /&gt;You should be a doctor with a Phd for what you did to me, my body is falling apart, you've bent and beaten my corners are flatened, I've been abused and raped; emotionally drained and stressed. I do protest.&lt;br /&gt;Mister Mechanic&lt;br /&gt;You're a back yard monkey that should be put out of business, my cable is breaking my pins are broken and you don't care about helping or making quality repairs.&lt;br /&gt;Mister Mechanic&lt;br /&gt;You're a theif and a bully, what you do is a crime, you violate human kind.&lt;br /&gt;Mister Mechanic&lt;br /&gt;The Constitution should protect me from you.&lt;br /&gt;Mister Mechanic&lt;br /&gt;Men with Phd's are just like you treating people like junk never getting to the truth, never doing their jobs just read my blog.&lt;br /&gt;Mister Sociopath Mechanic and Doctor&lt;br /&gt;I don't trust that your protecting the people in need of your care.&lt;br /&gt;So many people with jobs to do, so many people failing to do their jobs.&lt;br /&gt;How much better would this world be if people actually started doing what they are paid to do? &lt;br /&gt;When Iraqi's stand up America will stand down. That was the promise, or that was the lie?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other day, I handed Leonard a written report the pre-trip inspection report where I listed two problems with my vehicle, he looked at me and asked, "Do you trust me?" I told him quite specifically "No, he has a job to do and so do I, I've done my part, now it is time for you to do yours", he looked at me and stated, "I didn't physically hurt you." I replied, "yes, you did, you physically and emotionally hurt me." I didn't say anymore, I would have told him if anymore was to be said, that his involvment did bring physical harm to me, a gun was put to my head, and I lost time from work, I was forced medications, because he was playing head games with employees and employers. His meddling allowed the local police of his community to violate me and make me a victim over and over again, and he (Leonifer) even had me punished for his incompetence. Yes, Leonifer, you have hurt me physically and emotionally. He might be a mechanic able to repair machinery, but he isn't able to fix relationships and the wrongs committed against his family, and his ability to harm people reaches out beyond those he is in direct contact with. As a co-worker, he violated me, and this affected my family, my children and wife, my parents and extended social network.

type='text'>Heart Bleeding</title><content type='html'>When Darkness comes the cold chill of winters air, blows deep into your soul&lt;br/&gt;Death is near, filled with despair and we really don’t care how many we tear down&lt;br/&gt;With one life deprived, why should we be kind and leave our world alone&lt;br/&gt;We drown in our sorrows our choices we made, and now seeking to take as many as can be found a banquet prepared for destinies call nothing was fair for this life was cruel.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Love was found freedom was shared, and taken away, down the hall the door is opened and nothing is in sight, Dark, Despair, Polluted Air, and nothing we did was right.&lt;br/&gt;Kindred souls lay waste into the morning light, to be burnt and dried into dust in the noon day sun. Blown away on the wind; how many did we take with us? The goal not to end alone in a grave created from all of the stones thrown. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Picking up stones and casting them out, one person catches another and three, these stones were all returned faster and harder and more furious than the first that was thrown obscured by the deep pain and cry for attention the gathering of many, to bring one of healing, cast out and exiled, thought to have lived a life defiled, and indeed it was found that sorrow would rule the day. The day they called him gay, he turned away, and never looked back. Until the day they wanted to have their way, and then it was them, that punished and cursed the very one able and capable of quenching their thirst. They wanted more and because they couldn’t have what they sought they turned on their deliverer and stuck him on a stick, they thought they could kill this man. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Down he came, alive and nearly lame, healed and tortured again. Lying under a new stone grave all of the Angels would not sing, out of sight, no muse could hear, the words crying out for help, from the pain. The world was full of disdain. The world was ready to die, not even one would survive. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I looked around, there were many graves to be found, virgins with out blemish, bodies discarded like rubbish strewn about everywhere. Many were taken out on that day when they decided to finish what started a long time ago. The question was never did you believe in GOD the question is are you sure you’re not an alien, are you sure you’re a child of GOD’s creation? Do you know you’re origin? Are you sure you’re not a product of Evolution, making Love like worms secretions on the surface never getting below skin deep. Thoughts are connecting similar minds pained by abuse to carry out and use tools of old, to punish a new.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Midnight calls mental frustration, hypothetical obligation, to the alien nation. GOD’s command revere the life of the father and mother, for there is no gift greater than the gift of life, a child the building of nations and the making of great expectations.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Who would you be to take life away from any of these, as many as you can find because you are caught, hands down, in a bold faced lie, a lie against the good of humanity, a lie against a man like me.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;You reap havoc upon all nations, and in the end you just couldn’t see the pain you caused to people like me.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The pain you caused by your choices that you thought made you free.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Check your emotions; are you feeling a great conviction, the weight of the world pressing hard against your chest? We’ve all made mistakes, but what does it take? When we find our mind is closed to the truth that we are told, when right is called wrong and wrong is called right… Why is it then that the poet begins to write? Poetic justice or the injustice, that sparks the flame of life and words to be heard. The hidden message, written because; so many people have led good people down the road of destruction. A heart bleeding death of those that used to be, seeking life eternally, offered that life once again.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Love is the light of the world and Love is inclusive, bringing people together in the end.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Peace and Blessings,&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Sincerely,&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Gary&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

I love to stand on the firm foundation of truth the solid rock that I have found where I take my stand against the things I know are false. Maybe one day you too will see...It is easy if you try, just look deep into my eyes, as I tell you my story and you will know, the truth that I share can not be made up or told time and time again with out missing a beat, all of the things are detailed way too well, you might think my life a living reflection of a very bad spell, but in deed I am just me, a man that has suffered a great injustice and the church was truly involved. Our religion needs to evolve... Church is not required; we need to worship 24/7 from the time we get up until the time we go to bed. Even our sleep is a part of the gift that we have as Children of GOD and the great Plan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17815225-113953214167954966?l=tgwbmypoetry.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tgwbmypoetry.blogspot.com/feeds/113953214167954966/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17815225&amp;postID=113953214167954966' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17815225/posts/default/113953214167954966'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17815225/posts/default/113953214167954966'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tgwbmypoetry.blogspot.com/2006/02/i-once-had-message-like-you.html' title='I once had the message like you'/><author><name>Gary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04338663788643861497</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://tinypic.com/j5c8yt.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17815225.post-113818087235288446</id><published>2006-01-25T04:21:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2006-01-25T04:33:30.253-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Shes down on her knees</title><content type='html'>She’s down on her knees&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;(In Progress)&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;She’s down on her knee’s prayin’ GOD please send me a man,&lt;br/&gt;She’s down on her luck; her Love is not reached with deceit,&lt;br/&gt;She kicked him in the head, and she doesn’t understand why he hurts like he does,&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;She learned to defend by attacking and defaming the ones that she is supposed to love.&lt;br/&gt;In constant pain, the tears fall like rain,&lt;br/&gt;She never sees the tears that are cried by the actions of her lies or her smiling face.&lt;br/&gt;She’s oblivious to her own disgrace.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;She is in cahoots with people that kill their young, and run away…&lt;br/&gt;She runs like a useless hunting dog, never listening to the master’s command,&lt;br/&gt;He calls out her name and she is not there, she is off running after another dream.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;A false reality created out of misinterpretations and deceptions, she never has to say that what she did was wrong, and she will never mend the wrongs and make them right.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;And another man gets pushed around, never being allowed to get off of the ground, others take over where she has failed to lift him up and help him to win his race.&lt;br/&gt;His life is not ruined and in disgrace, he won’t stay down, he pushes on and on…&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;He’s down on his knees, Lord please send me a wife, someone to be compassionate and love me for the man that I am.

I’ve been kicked in the head, and I see my relationship is dead, her words churn in the pit of my stomach, so vile my bile rises up, and I hurt. She never had to apologize for the pain that she caused; she never fixed the wrongs to make them right.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Lord, I need a partner not an abuser of the rules, but one that knows and cares and shares, a woman that loves from her heart, and doesn’t allow her head to play games with the words that are said, I need someone that understands, and knows that I am a good man.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I need a woman that sees me for who I really am, and won’t be led by other people and their evil intentions to separate us and destroy our relationship, a woman that won’t kill the baby inside… One that has beautiful eyes that takes me away to places I’ve never been.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Lord send me a real wife, a partner for eternity, one that can talk to my heart and heal the pain and the hurt of my past life.

You kept him at bay; you never gave to him the same way he gave to you. You exclude the man that you said you wanted when you said “I Do”. You singled him out, you didn’t include him in the parenting role, in the gifts of your soul, and you gave away all that you had. You didn’t give anything back to the man that you claimed to have loved.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;He received your wrath, and his pain is a mark in the pages of history, just another way to make the world suffer, as society joins in on the kicking and picking on a man that has been knocked down. Not once, not twice, but all of his life.

Another way to lord over a husband that just didn’t quite measure up; the social ladder she wanted to climb was different than the one that he had in mind. The standards were high, yet he did try to provide.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;In the beginning he did give to everyone, the dangers he chose to challenge as he provided services to his community scared the wife left at home, wondering if he will come home. Work to him away, day after day, he couldn’t even give to the department that he trained with; his volunteer days were over, he started a family. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Yet she still was not satisfied.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Abused as children they worked together, but she captured every moment she created as sin for him. She would never confront him about issues she didn’t understand, she would gossip and tell stories just slightly out of line, out of context and out of time. She brought back the pain, and denied her part, her involvement, the darkness of her heart. The weight of the world is resting, square on his shoulders; as she sneaks behind his back, climbing on that train to attack.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The children she tries to protect are in a vulnerable position, as she never had a nice word to say about her husband.&lt;br/&gt;She soon will return to her pattern lashing out with her tongue to those that she claims to love.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;She runs away from the things that she fears, she runs away and many tears fall, because she doesn’t know or listen to the right kind of call.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The only pieces that will remain are so broken and full of disdain.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;She talks behind his back once again.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Another story, &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Another time,&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Maybe found in another rhyme.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17815225-113628365950223981?l=tgwbmypoetry.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tgwbmypoetry.blogspot.com/feeds/113628365950223981/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=17815225&amp;postID=113628365950223981' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17815225/posts/default/113628365950223981'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17815225/posts/default/113628365950223981'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tgwbmypoetry.blogspot.com/2006/01/abused-as-child.html' title='Abused as a Child'/><author><name>Gary</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04338663788643861497</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://tinypic.com/j5c8yt.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17815225.post-113180267154333888</id><published>2005-11-12T08:37:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2005-11-12T08:40:15.303-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Stars vs Blackholes</title><content type='html'>Stars vs. Black holes&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Some people are stars, while some have deep dark negative forces.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Some people shine brightly while others take away the light of life and love.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Some people kill relationships while other nurture and empower.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;There are stars, among shinning Angels to cast out the darkness.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Light defeats the darkness removing shadows from our lives.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Military Madness; the sign, of being in a hole, deep, and dark.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;We can only let our light shine in, and shine on, when we know the madness has taken hold of weak and independent minds.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;We are in a war that is suicide.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Taught by scripture; death, and sacrifice.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;A new day dawns for Peace on Earth.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Bush against the critics who don't like war for lies.

The Buck is a very graphic poem one that I first wrote, I felt that I had a calling to be a romance writer, that I could share my self and my love. The stories that inspired me to recall and share my little poem with you are located at these two links.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4955313&gt;Aspen Tree Population Suffers in Northern Arizona by Mitch Teich&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4955310&gt;Elk Mating Season Proceeds in the Rockies by Jeff Brady&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;The Buck&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I am the Buck and you are my mate…&lt;br/&gt;You give yourself to me Freely..&lt;br/&gt;I come to you Freely&lt;br/&gt;I enter into you and delight in your warmth…&lt;br/&gt;You desire me and I desire you we share our feelings our thoughts and our dreams&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S.
