Poem, A Part of my Life

AwHec8

In my life this much is true,

I’ve had guns pulled on me more times than a few,

While this was being done,

I decided enough was enough so in two of those cases,

I took them out of the perpetrator’s hands,

While staring at their faces,

In one other time this much more can be found,

As the gun was pointed at my face,

I refused to be afraid while this man tried to put me in the ground,

So stare right back I did in this particular case,

While he just looked back at me then off in his car he fled,

Standing there with my mouth wide open,

I came to realize how much more of a coward this proved I was instead,

By refusing to run away the thought came over me; how I was a coping,

By being fake brave; instead of just running away and hoping!

  • Comment from author about the poem: Its amazing how anyone reacts to a given situation and what the underlying motivation of a person is, for me it is refusing to be afraid. No not in bravery actually in cowardice, as I hate being afraid so much I react.

    Right now the World is being Fake Brave. Or at least the ones who don't have a clue and don't know they don't have a clue but act as if they do have a clue and are refusing to be human beings by doing the necessary things to help those who are around them not get infected. Just a thought
    My older sister died in this pandemic, as most don't get it will never get it even when they help kill one of their fellow loved ones by infecting them with disease all because they refused to believe what they can't understand or fight against the Truth of it. And No Thank God I didn't infect my sister as I have sheltered in place since February and follow the guidelines put out by the experts.
    What amazes me to this day is grown men who don't know who and or what they are then run around taking stands, by acting like critic's, that are nothing more than hit and run coward's missions to then go hide behind a wall of their own design. Me I have mostly known who & what I am, have absolutely no trouble with saying it or having another say it. Just hate the Hypocrite's, even when I act like one too.
    These same ones Who don't have the Heart God Blessed them with to be men so they act like critic's to hit then run and hide behind any possible thing, never taking a stand in reality just in their own mind, they are always acting as if they are superior as anyone who don't agree with them are less somehow. Well maybe just in their mind!
    Me if you can hold your own in debate with another then welcome, but please don't cry like a half man when you are defeated or your cover is blown to then run away with some kind of block.
    OH and if you can educate me I will love it and make the necessary adjustments.
    Whether anyone wants to believe it or not we all reap what we sow and people please do enjoy the world you are creating for your last stand. Don't run, don't hide, don't curse the God you say don't exist while begging the Earth to cover over your own wanton hypocrisy, nakedness, greed, etc. be a man and say this is what I wanted all along, this is what I helped to create and then enjoy it as you got what you really wanted now, A World Without God. Run by an anti-hero. So again do enjoy.
    Yes Jesus still is the Lamb of God and we still are in the time of Grace. But soon He will be coming as the Lion of Judah and please do Trust what He has already said, You don't want to be on His Bad Side (this I paraphrased), you know the side where you are in sin. Jesus is the Love fulfilled in the Law so do choose which side you are on, or not. Or go ahead and get on His Bad Side as we all have free will don't we? Don
