SHARING SOME OF ME..THOUGHTS...REFLECTS...I AM.....DESPERADO

As I write my blog today I am reflecting on this holiday season and many more things that are going on in the world today.  First and foremost I do have some questions to ask of member's in the Neopoet World. As I have just been a member here for a short  time. I came here with one thing in mind and that was poetry.  My question is this... if you have a disagreement of differences on here with any member and you try to be respectful of peoples feelings and opinions or views, then why does it have to  continue with a miscommunication, bad words, etc.  Is this not a site that people come to share not only their poetry or writings, but the whole concept of getting along and communication as poetry is a way to communicate is it not?  Why is it always an issue when a person states how they feel and then they can go on with  disrespect  for each other?  I am not asking for an open forgiveness or for anything different, I am merely asking for people to try to respect other people as we all are from different regions of the world and we all carry our own thoughts, morals, values, and feelings.  Understanding others is a wish I wish we all could strive for.
  This world is not made of perfect people.  We all know that.  If a person is not willing to go on and be respectful of one another's feelings or works of art why is it so hard for some to forgive and forget?.  I guess what I am saying is this....  I am not a creature of a bad habit...or habits..... I am not a perfect human being....  I am not the greatest poet.... I am not who or what you think I am.(.and of course you have the right to feel any which way you choose to judge me or think of me..and that is your human right.)  I am not a bionic woman... ( BUT I  do get the job done and done right.!!)....above right...just ask my peers..  I am not of disrespect...or hatred...or discord..... I am not here for a  the mean -spirited person...I could probably go on and on but this is enough here and last but not least I am not what you think I am...  but you also have your right to think and feel as you wish,  we all do have that..... Here are some examples of what I am.......just some of them ....

I am a damn good cook
I am an excellent employeeI am a most grateful person
I am a beautiful womanI am a most loving womanI am an upright and straightforward womanI am totally honest
I am totally dedicated
I am a faithful woman
I am a strong individual  I am a loving, free spirited woman
I am a giving person
I am a very caring womanI am a kind, compassionate soulI am a proud single parentI am a great parent
I am a loving daughter, sister, aunt, niece, friend
I am a forgiving personI am loved by manyI am sincere and loyalI am true and realI am a child of GodI am JUST ME.

I guess some would think this blog is about only me  and I am too self centered.  This is far from the truth..  I think of others who struggle in life, folks that have nothing, elderly people and children who are abused.  Any human being for that matter that has ever or continues to be abused mentally and/or physically.  This strikes a hard core in me for sure.. I feel for many people. I love people, no matter how they feel about me.,  I help people, I care about the little guy and the big guy, no color, no religion, no politics get in my way of how I feel towards people or life in general as there are many a human beings on this great earth, I hold no grudges or discriminations.. ..   This is me, who I am.  I do not hide behind a mask, a shadow, a dark room...I do not hide my feelings or my emotions or any other aspect of myself....  I have nothing to hide as I live by truth and truth has always set me free.  A motto my parents taught me..a  motto I was raised with and live by....every day....  We all have our bad moments or days, I believe in getting up and going forward in life, not to always look back on the negative and the things for which we had no control or we could not change. What is gone has gone and the only thing we can look forward to is tomorrow....  Life on this great earth is just a temporary passing through.....  I believe in making the days the best you can and not sweating the little things.  We only have this moment,  and this moment alone to do great things in our lives, should we choose to go that way.  Death is another passing into a life that is just as beautiful as the one we choose ourselves to live in, here on earth. .  We can not turn back the clock... for that time has passed us by... we can not rush the clock forward... for time is all we have now.,,....this moment.......  Moments of life to be spent in the best way in which we can.   When I ventured into this world of writing I  was inspired from a very personal, intimate place as many poets are..... I love to write....  While some may feel this is pollyannish, childish, immature, or whatever  or however one feels towards another..that  which they  judge or label  is their right. And theirs alone...
 
Think of this for a moment.. we have  never had the honor of meeting each other in person.  With the Internet and cyber space talk, people can write all they wish and say things they never would say in person to one another,  therefore they can talk their talk, and may not be able to walk the walk...  If you were to meet these same people  in real life would you say the things of which you write on a laptop or desktop, or in a forum or a chat room?  I think not.  I however, speak exactly how I write, not just merely words picked out of the thin air, just because I feel like it....  I do not hide behind a computer and just sit here and pour my heart and soul and energy for the sake of it,  because I am not seen in person.  I do not hurt others or make  myself shine above anyone. I know who I am and what I am made of.   If only men could respect men... women could respect women.... maybe, just maybe we would find peace in our own little worlds and the world around us....would that be so hard to do?  Which brings me to a song from long ago..... that the words still ring true to my heart and soul....DESPERADO...  Thank you for reading and I did not realize how long this blog has become...reflecting...  Peace and love to you all extended through my keyboard..in cyberspace and in love.. ..I hope you catch it.... ride the sunshine.....of my heart....

DESPERADO

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses
You've been out ridin' fences,
for so long - now.
Ohh you're a hard one.
I know that you've got your reasons.
These things that are pleasin'you
Can hurt you somehow.

Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy
She'll beat you if she's able.
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet.
Now it seems to me, some fine things
Have been laid upon your table.
But you only want the ones
That you can't get.

Desperado,
Ohhhh you aint getting no younger.
Your pain and your hunger,
They're driving you home.
And freedom, ohh freedom.
Well that's just some people talking.
Your prison is walking through this world all alone.

Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine.
It's hard to tell the night time from the day.
And you're losing all your highs and lows
aint it funny how the feeling goes
away...

Desperado,
Why don't you come to your senses?
come down from your fences, open the gate.
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you.
You better let somebody love you.
(let sombody love you)
You better let somebody love you...ohhh..hooo
before it's too..oooo.. late.


LOVE THIS OLD SONG BY THE EAGLES


Good Night
