Contemplating Addiction

It’s Friday night she’ll have to do it again,

He’ll climb aboard her and put it all the way in,

It used to be love but that was many years ago,

She just lies there quietly and waits till it ends,

Her heart many miles away she always with him,

She’s now a web addict sends her into a spin,

One day she’ll meet him she wonders if he’s thin,

That was great last night what’s for breakfast he smile,

Passing he slaps her buttocks gives her a big wide grin,

She’s counting the minutes when he’s out the door,

The car leaves the driveway she waves and smiles,

Soon he’s out of sight she soon covered in tears,

Marriage can be a great blessing or a huge mistake,

Chose wisely set an example for the next generation,

It’s the children who are the victims in the end.

You haven’t a load of money, and you can’t afford a lawyer, you getting married, your not sure if it’s your money she is after she wonders too, the cost of the break up is what is worrying you, your attached but detached but aware of the human cost, when love is turned to bitterness and it happens quite a lot, the rivalry that ensues regardless of pain or cost, the legacy we leave to those following not money but the hurt and emotional cost, that deep down scar that reminds you every time when the subject comes up for air, the what if’s the maybe’s the regrets that contain, the fear that does not allow you to forget, basically, I’ve just described the addiction of love, love is not an addiction, love is the condition you should be feeling and it only happens when we use the heart, when you forget how to love you become an addicted person, and the world has been conditioned to love everything but love itself, amen!

Great Example

World of institutions, self promotion and control guided, cover up the principal, habits passed to children,   the treachery they achieve,  welcome to the world dear friends, coffee this morning tastes better, than it has done for years. For decades people tried, , many  their reputations destroyed,  to discourage the wave of truth,  many walked on afraid to intervene, but the stream was strong,  martin luther king and many like him, the example to accompany them.

Under fire the church kept hoping, they being the people of God,  I’ve seen the cloud, many divine events, came face to face with the existence of God, asked my conscience what was going on, found the answers and wisdom , saw the difficulties faced when disasters occurred,  man made to create the emotional flood. God Most High  listens,  you have that power in all that you do, all that, so create  love by birth deed example and sacrifice,  pass on good and great example to all young, they emulate the habits of those around them, the way Martin Luther King, Muhammad Ali and so many before him, well it is christmas time! check out the image, it's one of a sequence, there are many more.

all saints

We all believe in something, usually something insane. Rarely something worth believing in. The latest teen idol if your under 16, the next elvis, the colour scheme in the house, the clothes you wear, says something about us. Is their Christian belief in all of this. It all says something about us. Is their a Christian belief in all of this, or are we missing something, we all have beliefs, God Most High the choice here today, but so many, what is there to believe in, if you’re a starving child with an empty tummy, a voter seeking an honest politician, an  aids sufferer without access to decent affordable health care, My politician is a good one, he knows how to respond to a contribution. The roll call of idols we look up to in our day today affairs is surprising.

There’s an idol for everyone, the TV star, the football player, and the image they create for us, images so carefully crafted by professional advertisers, advertisers who care less about you and me, and only value money.

These same image creators would sell us satan, provided he paid them, I have no doubt they already have, surprised. Today is all saints day, rekindling belief in ourselves and those around us, I call it the day we remember the great people, who in their own way, had led us to this day, directly and indirectly, and the sacrifices they made for all of us. To believe in something and someone greater than yourself, is usually a belief, that comes through ignorance of your own self worth.  

Tell Me More Man...

Tell me more man,

My life is in the balance,

The oceans are rising

I’m riding the titanic,

Tell me more man

There are things I

Need to know, for sure

He loves me she asks,

Can you feel my bump,

Tell me more man

My days are burning up

Water tastes so sour

I’m waiting to know,

Boy or girl,

Tell me more man

Sitting in the queue

Down like all the rest

I only seek some news

So that I may do my best

Tell me more man,

I sit nervous and full of hope

hoping its for real

the job comes with benefits

tell me more man,

blue with red stripes

I believe all the hype

They’ll do the best

I wait for the test

Tell me more man

More man had it all

The car the executive jet

He bought cheap on ebay

Like all the rest,

Tell me something new,

Tell me more man

Anchor away...

stars rise water divides the wind howls as she says goodbye, carried away in the flood tears pore from her eyes, gulp and it's over she goes quietly floating by..

man! did you see that where's the emergency services we pay taxes for that, on roof tops arms flaying and people praying while TV crews keep on filming the location relaying the worst of the storm in a thousand generations, wow smiles the anchor i'll win an emmy for this while the camera man shouts shouldn't we do something people are about to die, what shouts the anchor trying to hide her smile we pay for emergency services it's their call not hours so what, did you get that she asks suddenly as another body floats on by..

a year later in the middle of another storm a tree trunk crashes to the earth sends our brave anchor tumbling down, camera man shouts i'm jumpin in but a text from the studio boss shouts to let her drown, so the camera man watches while she floats by wondering if he too could do something like that and become an anchor too

pearly gates all white surrounds not even a breeze not even a cloud, our anchor waits for admission st peter comes walking down he wonders if it's been an accident or suicide of a kind, let me in pleads our anchor i'm done a good job you see, i covered all those storms and wars to  make it real..

peter takes out the book the one that records all facts not the book of excuses we are all so good at that, weighed down with story the why's and why's why not and why throw in the facebook generation there all so good at that, what exactly i'm not sure but excuses we are good at that

a twirl and a swirl the pages unwind her conscience awakens she no longer smiles, i tried she said pleading for mercy in the beginning i was thoughtful and good, that was when i was young, peter thinks about it awhile maybe she's been misunderstood, but the boss has a reputation peter hums and hums i've a quick decision to make, a reputation to mind i suppose and so the story goes

splash the camera man jumps in gushes after her manages to grab her in, secures her to a tree and after she gulps up buckets of water she's soon saved by him, she quickly comes round see's a friend not a frown a sort of new companion, not the man she used to command as she served her career not withstanding love, now she works as a stay at home mum no emmy's camera's or lies, she works for the salvation army now smiles st. peter with a soft tear in his eye..

Obama comes to offaly..

and the town is being painted red, the girls are screaming for his attention, the men are going off the head, rappers are coming up with tunes, lowry is talking fumes...it's a strange world, but not if your poor, with a bank manager roaring for money, the local utility waiting to cut you off, and children addicted to anything but good. we all celebrate the big moment, the arrival of the new king, yeah yeah.. hoopla, eeeee, lots of smiles, chance to exploit, get a few dollars hear, while enda is all smiles. i haven't seen a new job, anything but words will do...dont worry, no one fools god!
