Impediment
Impediment!
Either in speech,
Or something done...
It's evident.
There is an impediment.
It's evidence.
And imminent is this impediment living.
Sitting and getting in the way not giving.
Impediment!
Either in speech,
Or something done...
Is evident.
There is an impediment.
It's evident.
An impediment...
Is evidence.
A flowered talking doesn't pay,
Today.
When much deceit,
Is released.
And it feeds and increases.
'Where are those truth and honest days? '
They are gone in thin air...
With respect that had been there!
There is an impediment!
Either in speech,
Or something done...
Is evident.
There is an impediment.
That is evidence and it's evident.
A flowered talking doesn't pay,
Today.
When much deceit,
Is released.
And it feeds and increases.
That is evidence and it's evident.
'Where are those truth and honest days? '
They are gone in thin air...
With respect that had been there!
And imminent is this impediment living.
Sitting and getting in the way not giving.
That is evidence and it's evident.
Impediment!
Either in speech,
Or something done...
Is evident.
There is an impediment.
That's evident as evidenced.

From my earliest days I have enjoyed an attractive impediment in my speech. I have never permitted the use of the word stammer. I can't say it myself.

Facts Can Be What Whoever Says They Are
If from inception,
There had been no truth.
And from this a reality was based.
Any claims of fraudulence,
Can be denied.
Since prior to inception...
Truth was not a consideration.
And reality was what it was wished to be!
As far as interpretation of facts goes.
And facts can be what whoever says they are.
But when?
And in who's time...
Do they begin to be used for accountability purposes.
If truths are to be held self evident...
When is the constitutionality of consciousness applied?
If applied and how is that determined?
Note:
The word 'self evident' introduced into the English language
as an adjative in 1671.
Definition: 'evident' without proof or reasoning.
Evident: Clear to one's vision or understanding.

How we are using up our home, how we are living and polluting the planet is frightening. It was evident when I was a child. It's more evident now.
The Echo Reaches The Whole Sky
Wages
of alienation
were increasing.
We were afraid
of reflections.
Shifting
of landscapes
will hurt the river.
I was blinded
by blues.
Relationship
becomes a speech
impediment,
bonds start
breaking.
I wanted
to call your name –
in solitude.
The echo
reaches the whole sky.

To Your Love
Heres another speech you wish Id swallow
Another cue for you to fold your ears
Another train of thought too hard to follow
Chugging along to the song that belongs to the shifting of gears
Please forgive me for my distance
The pain is evident in my existence
Please forgive for my distance
The shame is manifest in my resistance
To your love, to your love, to your love
I wouldve warned you, but really, whats the point?
Caution could but rarely ever helps
Dont be down when my demeanor tends to disappoint
Its hard enough even trying to be civil to myself
Please forgive me for my distance
The pain is evident in my existence
Please forgive for my distance
The shame is manifest in my resistance
To your love, to your love, to your love
My derring-do allows me to dance the rigadoon
Around you
But by the time Im close to you, I lose
My desideratum and now you, so
Now you have it, so baby tell me whats the word?
Am I your gal, or should I get out of town?
I just need to be reassured
Do you just deal it out, or can you deal with
What I lay down?
Please forgive me, for my distance
The pain is evident in my existence
Please forgive me for my distance
The shame is manifest in my resistance
To your love, to your love, to your love

It is true that the aristocracies seem to have abused their monopoly of legal knowledge; and at all events their exclusive possession of the law was a formidable impediment to the success of those popular movements which began to be universal in the western world.
