Chances

Chances, are they really worth taking

Like the chance of a broken heart

Is it really worth it?

When only in the end

You feel only as if

You've been hit with a hot iron

That is now just lying down on your chest

While you feel the pain from the hit

Like the chance of an unsuccessful dream

Is it really worth it?

To feel that pain in the end

'Cause of the wasted years of your life

Trying to succeed in that one thing

That so many others have also tried and failed, as well

The question though is

The pain that we feel from

All these struggles in life

Is it really worth it?

I understand we only live once

But is it all really worth it?

I've been reading this book,

lost in the life of this author...

I had to share some part of it...

so you can begin to know him...

Didn't even ask his permission

Must begin to share his story...

Please watch for more soon...

Fighting Power... Open Memoir

Recently, I got up, did the routine of feeding my cats first, and then turned on the 10PM news from the previous night. I normally start reading around 5PM most days and, if a book is really good or close to ending, I may continue to read on until I give that latest read a ranking which is sent to GoodReads and Amazon... I was, as so many others were, devastated to learn of more children being killed or hurt at a school... I am, I now admit it, in deep depression during which I can be triggered constantly by outside actions... How can we continue to claim to be a land of the free when children are murdered by those who are allowed to have guns to enter schools and shoot! And the very next report shows a man attacked on the street by ICE, taken to the ground and beaten by at least 4 men! This is not the exact video from that program, but it occurs so frequently that it always shows the exact image--a lone man, or woman, being attacked violently by men wearing masks, sometimes with no id...

Rahab's Sisters - Poetry by Guy Graybill...

Rahab's Sisters The Biblical accounts tell us that Rahab, a harlot of Jericho, hid and protected two Israelite spies in order to save her family from the coming destruction of the town. The names of the two spies went unrecorded; but, after about 3,300 years, Rahab's name lingers. Rahab is, then, one of the world's oldest, named prostitutes. Today, more than three millennia later, prostitution thrives. It remains a money-driven, exploitative, disease-spreading form of degradation and servitude, catering ever to lust; never to love. Used by Permission from Whimsy and Wry Guy Graybill I Oh, dusky, Semite harlot, Now dead three thousand years, Too bad there are no ledgers, That list your nameless peers. II But, Rahab, you're immortal, Your name we'll always know. You plied your trade by serving The johns of Jericho III You saved two spies from capture, Their names are long forgot. But, you, Rahab, a strumpet Have ...
