Fragments No. 4 “I Simply Refuse”
Doggerel Dave said:
I \'d call that alienation, Gary. You accept things as they are, and place the responsibility for revenge (yes – revenge) on your Higher Authority.

Good write Gary.
I best consult my little (red?) book \'101 Tales From The Pews\' If I had one, that, is!

I too, see
that disparity you refer to..
modernity\'s all-progressive age, where change equates: what suits us best
and alleviates that latest guilt trip, highlighted by tabloid outrage..
when ambition for equality and minority representation: dictates
we dismiss morality as a que to common decency of that civility, we\'ve come to take for granted
we walk that same tightrope all dictator\'s and tyrant\'s fell - off,
the one where
\'their actions are justified, by their perceived: distorted vision, of the greater good\'..
then again, we wouldn\'t be human if we didn\'t copy the same cyclical mistakes we inherited, as our starting-line of \'consequence\'...

Satire, Gary? Last stanza seems at odds though - surely something had to be done....

Fragments #2: Ha, You Fraud!
L. B. Mek said:
\'no mind, no matter\' is what came of all that empiricism dialectic (thanks for the word btw)..
but personally, if spirituality is your chosen avenue for solace, I doubt any obstacle will prevent you finding your path,
we must embrace all and temper our chosen belief systems or diverse \'way of life\', against everything we come across,
thereby insuring our chosen source of courage and self preservation only gets stronger,
while simultaneously becoming more aware and respectfully tolerant of others who may have chosen a different path in life

\'Tis true. We can\'t go by our senses alone. Thomas a Kempis, a wise monk, said: \'Subject our reason (senses, etc) to faith\'.

Fragments: “I need not go any further”
Gary Edward Geraci said:
Yes I do believe so Orchidee - even if just fragments from here on. Seriously, like you, I take great pleasure in writing. I heard it said the other day: “don’t let the accolades go to your head so that the insults won’t go to heart.” or something along those lines. And I can’t remember who was credited with saying it either!

Some rather stern hymns say similar, e.g. \'Let all mortal flesh keep silence\'.
I read in a book: \'I tried to cough reverently!\' (lol)

Follow the Science
L. B. Mek said:
Amen! Amen! Amen!
where philosophy\'s wisdom is binned to annals of those deemed meaningless - archaic, and
\'theorised assumptions\' are heralded as progression\'s youthful volition...!?
lol, that hits the spot for me dear poet, bullseye!

I\'ve read a little on this.
Sometimes it seems, it\'s the \'system\' opposing new or different things. Or so one scientist writes, from his personal experiences.

On Your Way
L. B. Mek said:
on your way, to excavating that voice
hidden deep within;
a caved existence - reaching out
to your shadow of discontent
finally, maybe: hopefully
some words of meaningful truth
may find their way
to you - too...
a thought provoking and inspiring read, forgive me if I\'ve misconstrued the meaning to your write dear poet
I tend to choose a view of this world - slightly more hopeful than other\'s can relate to, but I mean no disrespect in doing so, nor wish to annoy or frustrate

Good write Gary.
Erm, I didn\'t quite get the hang of it, in my poem (fictional one): \'No one\'s perfect - except me!\' An epic poem of some 9,436 lines extolling me - my pride, selfishness, arrogance, etc. (heehee).

Man of the Cloth

Erm, I was gonna be a man of the cloth. But it turned out to be a tailor\'s shop making clothes! Doh! lol. I will get the right end of the stick one day.

The Bride

Good write Gary.
Dunno about slush, but \'I was walking through improper rain, i.e. drizzle\' more like!
You know the ditty: \'Hurry to church for Easter; all places will be taken by \'nominal\' or seasonal church-goers then\'. At least they are there, if only Easter and Christmas.

He Remembers that We are Dust
orchidee said:
You and I, and many other, believes He did rise! Methinks so. A pity if she never came to believe.
Some say, not humbly: \'Who you calling dust; or a worm; or even, a sheep?\' Baaa!
Yet I read of a story - one recovered from an accident - yet he said it made him a stronger atheist. Doh!

Yes, \'carpenters\' son\' reminds us of the humanity of Jesus. Though it was a bit of a derogatory title, I read somewhere.
If we only, or mainly, see church members in actual church building, we may start thinking that they live there - in the church building!

I fear the Enlightenment Age was a Darkness Age spiritually, in fact!
Similarly, the New Age Movement is now, as one said to me, the Old Age Movement. Doh!

\'A hand written sign and a few flowers no 24 hour coverage wrong place wrong time\'
whatever our individual views on what transpired that deeply regrettable day (for all sides involved: including us voyeurs of human suffering, watching-on from the comfort of our couches),
what I have highlighted from your write, is a poignant point you make: the inexcusable and blatant manipulation of the so-called \'free press\' to portray historical events and actions of people, in whatever way their political mindset is \'leaning\': must end!
this continued indifference by tax paying citizens to the role 24 hour news channels and written press play, in misinforming or at the very least \'selectively\' informing the general public must stop!
its those poisonous head offices that should be targeted and our spineless governments who cower to their demands just to insure they get to play their election adverts and propaganda vitriol every four years is utterly despicable!

here you\'ve exemplified the utility within belief systems (any and all),
a wonderful read of self-mined resolve, choosing to entrust in the goodness you glean from your chosen avenue of belief,
if we could all just add that ounce of humility to accept each others differences - well, at the very least we would allow our humane qualities to surface above our chaotic nature of existence as humans,
happy new year
