Run, hide, scatter! The SOB is here
The challenge here is to neither to pontificate or whine. Impossible! There is what I know and what I feel. If I cant express those thing, then I have nothing to say. So, here are a bunch of questions that express my feelings and opinions without asking for mercy or understanding. Heres looking at you fellas...
When you were down and alone and being brutalized, who came to your defense?
Was it your brother? Or was it your brother who had his way with you?
Did your dad come to the rescue? Or was he the perp?
When you told your mom, did she save you from the monsters? Or did she tell you to take it like a men? When you told your wife did she listen? Or did she leave you for someone less screwed up and nothing left but the bills. When you confessed to the priest were you forgiven? Or were you abused again?
Who knew and didnt help? How often have you been put in your place? How many times have you been condemned for defending yourself? How often have you been told to shut up when you protest abuse? Have you been the subject of vile deceit and ill intentioned conspiracy? Have you lost you livelihood to false accusations?
Were your intentions ever misunderstood? Have you been condemned for the good you tried to do? Were you ever lost and given misdirections? Have you ever had a good fight with a friend that might have come to a good end had it not been for the meddling of people who didnt know what was going on? Have you ever been judged by the uninformed?
Were you ever held back from your potential by those who had no potential? Did anyone ever tell you that you were just like the people who abused you? Did anyone ever have a go at your back side and punish you for screaming? Did you ever tell a friend the truth and get a bloody nose for it?
Did you ever speak from your heart when you were angry and lose every thing of value? Did you ever try to stifle another person because you didnt agree with them? Have you ever failed to speak from your heart and lose every thing of value? Have you ever lost everything?
Have you ever been insensitive to another persons need because you didnt understand those needs? Have you ever seen that apparent insensitivity was the answer to another persons needs?
Have you ever called someone an SOB out of love? Were you ever wrong? Did you ever fail to communicate because of cultural difference rather than honest intentions?
Have you ever told someone what you thought and knew by their response that they had no idea what you meant? Could you read the writing on the wall if it had been written in another language?
Were you ever alone, afraid, unprotected, rejected, ridiculed, kicked, abused, stifled, hurt, ignored and helpless?
Well, you know what?
Thats the way it is, isnt it?
