listening

Post by creativesoul » October 9th, 2005, 9:15 pm

rights------
listening to people talk
sometimes it just seems like so much shit
bad medicine is all about
power
and the abuse of it
listening
to people change and fluctuate
because of comfort
betrayal is ugly
telling people that you cannot confide in them
because they repeat what you say
out of context
makes them angry
perception is a strange thing

Bad medicine is about the abuse of power.
As you discern. We have always been subjected to it.
But I have never gone there, not that I can recall.

a negative response (like photo negatives, not negative=critical)

Entitlements—
listening to (versus hearing the) disenfranchised silence(d)
always is so little treasure.
Good poison is nothing about
weakness;
and a spoil of it:
talking
to the disenfranchised constant and invariable
because of discomfort and uncomfortable.
Faithfulness seems like treasure—
to be advised by everything that I will confide in me
because I clutch what I hear
in context
graces me to peace;
monotony seems like a ordinary inarticulate.

I like it
I think--reminds me of somthing I could of writen--if I wanted to, at some time. I can write what ever I want, and go on and on and on!

betrayl is in the eye of the beholder----stalkers! Are they betayed? The feel the are. I called my ex girl friend, she called me a stalker. She does not love me and for a while, I felt betrayed, but I was not!
thus spoke G.A.P.

i was a gambler once- i placed my bets on horses that had bad legs- rode them hard- then had to put them out to pasture-
reason is over rated, as is logic and common sense-i much prefer the passions of a crazy old woman, cats and dogs and jungle foliage- tropic rain-and a defined sense of who brings the stars up at night and the sun up in the morning---
