What we once were
Is no more
Through the fault
Of you and me

Our harsh and cruel words
Have driven a wedge
Down the middle of us
Time to part and go our separate ways

But we persist and hold on
Those cruel words continue
I still call you when I have a problem
As a matter of fact, I have you on speed dial

Speed dial exes
Those we should give up
Those we should let go
I know I should move on, but alas I cannot

Speed dial exes
I should tell you to go
I should tell you it is time to move on
But I don't for fear that you might forget me

My speed dial ex
Come save me
From myself yet again
Because apparently I cannot save myself

Have I really become this
This creature so lacking in self confidence
This creature so lacking in self respect
Time for me to delete my speed dial ex

We are Democrats
We are Republicans
We are Citizens
We are Americans

Black or White
Gay or Straight
Christian or Muslim
We are Americans

No one can take that from us
No one can take our rights from us
But for those we allow
For we are Americans

We fight for our rights
Right of Freedom and Happiness
We fight to help others to achieve these rights
As they are Human Rights

Lets not be divided by our politics
Lets not be little red and blue states
For we are more as our President says
For we are Americans

We are Americans
We are One
Lets show the world the power we can be
For we are AMERICANS!

A man once said
Education costs money,
but then so does ignorance.
And it is true beyond measure.

When we are young
With no care for the world
Our parents pay taxes
So we might go to school

As we get older
And college looms ahead
Scholarships and Financial Aid
Come into play

But some of us are not so lucky
Maybe our grades weren't the best
Or maybe we didn't finish High School at all
So when we choose to attend a school of higher education

We must get school loans
Now we have a choice
Get the loans that will be deferred til sometime after we complete school
Or lose out on the money we could make with Degree in the future

This lack of knowledge,
Lack of information
Is a type of ignorance
And will cost you dearly in the end

So you have a choice
Ignorance with no future to speak of
Or Education with many doors opening to you
Choose wisely

Qoute "Education costs money, but then so does ignorance." is Sir Claus Moser

We are friends
Aren't we?
So if we met on the street
You would surely greet me

Would you still greet me
Knowing that I am queer as a two dollar bill
And that my partner was born female
Though he doesn't look it

We look like your everyday hetero couple
But what is beneath the surface is surprising
We are democratic or liberal
Never republican that is for sure

Looks can be deceiving to be true
But now that you know what is beneath the surface
Are we still friend for true
Or are you afraid we might rub off on you

Do not worry my friend'
What I have isn't catching in the slightest
Though what I have to say may cure your ignorance
So sit a spell and listen, maybe open your mind just a bit

I need out of my head
Words scramble together
No longer making sense

My brain is overloaded
With information
That has become meaningless

The meaningless has meaning
But I cannot discern the difference
Because more information is stuffed into my brain

It is spilling out my ears
In globs of gooey information
That cannot be deciphered

Unless perhaps you are Cryptologist
A master at deciphering
A seemingly meaningless information

If you figure out the riddle
Please be so kind
And share it with me

I still feel lacking
With information
To pass my Final Exam

PoeticWitch · 11-17-2012, 09:34 AM

Months of lies and deception
Feeling as if my soul is deaden
Fighting to draw a breath
As you pile your treachery on my heart

Like a butterfly breaking from its cocoon
I come to life spreading my wings
Seeing your fabrications for what they truly are
And I am free once again to fly

Fly away from this intended corruption
Corruption of my heart and soul
So very precious to me
Never to be yours again

PoeticWitch · 11-25-2012, 08:35 AM

Time for saying thanks
Time to count your blessings
This is a time for sharing
A time to spread the blessings

Thank you Goddess for my family
Crazy though they are
I wouldn't trade them for anything
We are truly blessed to have each other

Goddess for our next family get together
My request is nerf baseball bats for all
So we might have a bit of fun
Like when we were children again
