Who's Impeding Who?

'Why have you allowed them to do 'that' to you? '

To do what?

Impede your progress.

'And...
What is it have you seen me do to witness? '

What you've been doing for many years.

'And...
Who seems to have benefitted,
From what you've seen? '

Well...
You do seem to be more motivated.
More productive.
AND with more ambition.

'So...
Who's impeding who?
And from what? '

Maybe they impede themselves?
And this they have yet to notice.

'Well...
Someone does.
You do.
Didn't you say they were impeding?

Yeah, I did.
But...
They think they are doing that to you.

'It is not yet a crime to have useless thoughts.'

One Is Careful Not To Be Pricked

Some will cling with thorns.
With a doing done to impede one's progress.
If allowed to hinder.
And if one chooses to produce,
Award winning roses...
One is careful not to be pricked.
Or not let the pricking linger.

That is the consolation of a little mind; you have the fun of changing it without impeding the progress of mankind.

Short Stuff

January 2nd
The gym is bloated
With resolutions

The beginning
Of reflection
Sunset

Adversity
Impeding my progress-
Short bus

Snow bank
Sifting through
All the deposits

Boxing up
All the memories
Picture frame

Alone
Watching the sunset
Just me…

I'm sorry, I didn't notice

I'm sorry, I didn't notice
When this started to happen
I'm sorry, I didn't notice
I just let it begin

I'm sorry, I didn't notice
The change in anythin'
I'm sorry, I didn't notice
When we stopped talkin'

I'm sorry, I didn't notice
We weren't letting each other in
I'm sorry, I didn't notice
That sad, sad trend

I'm sorry, I didn't notice
The beginning of the end
I'm sorry, I didn't notice
You were no longer my friend

But believe me, now I notice
And it hurts deep within
Now that I notice
I hope you'll be again

Confused

I thought I knew
Thought I may have figured it out
But
Then
It became so confusing
And
Now
I'm just not so sure
Of
What I thought I understood
I thought I could be certain
Thought I was able to see
With
Some sort of certainty
Even though
How could I be
So
Confident
When, really
I didn't know
Anything
It's pieces of a puzzle
I'm trying to solve
With limited clues
Or
It could be
My overactive imagination
Playing tricks on me
Letting me see
What I want to see
So
I'm sitting
I'm waiting
I figure perhaps
Eventually
If something is
Then, something will
Reveal itself
Of it's own accord
And, reveal itself
With some clarity
Meanwhile
I'm stopping
With the assumptions I made
Because
I thought I figured it out
But
Now
I'm hesitating
I'm halting
I don't mean for it to impede any progress I've made
If I truly made any progress at all
I'm second guessing myself
But
I have to say
It's all because
I'm a bit confused.

Advocates Of Confusion

Impeding the progress made by another,
With obvious obstacles to block their passage.
To then make accusations publicly,
Why that person should be blamed...
For all that's wrong with them and in the world.
When they have always manipulated themselves,
To be seen and followed as leaders!
With the best there is to have.
No matter if that had been stolen from others.
Proves,
Not only do they represent incompetence...
But spend fortunes to ensure to themselves and others,
They also are advocates of conflusion, ...
Conflict and crazed delusions.

Uncomfortable

People of ignorance,
Can become totally ridiculous.
They mask their petty jealousies...
To hide a disguised insecurity.
And when all else fails...
They do their best to nail themselves,
Up against the wall.
Just to gain attention.
And make attempts to impede progress.
They become uncomfortable,
With anything that suggest...
A thought process required.

Everything

She was everything,
And I didn't even notice, when she changed her hair.
And when she talks about her day you know I didn't care.
But She was everything
I'll tell you what she said (tell you what she said)
You can take your broken promises and hit the door
She told me that she couldn't take it anymore
And that's all she said
And...She said I'd tumble to the walls when she had gone
And when It all came down I had nowhere to run
And as she slammed the door I swear I heard her say...
"Now you can rock and roll all night and sleep all day!"
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
She was everything,
And I didn't think I'd notice if she wasn't there
When she told me we were through I said I didn't care
I lost Everything (She was everything)
And...She said I'd tumble to the walls when she had gone
And when It all came down I had nowhere to run
And as she slammed the door I swear I heard her say...
"Now you can rock and roll all night and sleep all day!"
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
"Well you can rock and roll all night and sleep all day!"
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

Can I Get A Witness

(b. holland / l. dozier / e. holland)
Ah, listen everybody
Especially you guys
Is it right to be left alone
When the one you love is never home?
I love too hard
Yeah, my friends sometimes say
But I believe, oh I believe
That a boy should be loved that way
But it hurts me so inside
See him treat me so unkind
A-somebody, a-somewhere
Tell him it aint fair
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
Somebody?
Is it right to be treated so bad?
When youve given everything you had
Keep on tossing in my sleep
cause I havent seen my baby all week
Now, you people you do agree
That this aint the way loves supposed to be
A-let me hear you
Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Up early in the morning
With him on my mind
Just to find out all night
That Ive been crying
But I believe, oh, that a boy is a girls best friend
So, Im gonna stick by him til the very end
But he caused so much misery
I forget how loves supposed to be
Somebody, somewhere tell him
It aint fair
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
I want a witness
Witness, witness, witness, witness
Everybody knows, especially you boys
That a love can be sad
But half a love is twice as bad
Now you people you do agree
That this aint the way loves supposed to be
Let me hear you
Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah
I want a witness
Can I get a witness?
I want a witness
Come on, witness
I want a witness, hey
Come on, witness
I want a witness

Preferred Suffocating

Everyone should have the right,
To defend their beliefs.
There is nothing 'constitutionally' wrong with this.

However...
Opposing those beliefs of someone else,
Without exposing evidence of one's own existing...
Is not defending one's beliefs at all.

It's just a blocking of a progress to eliminate or stall.
Ensuring for themselves any success is defeated.
To allow those nonbelievers to obstruct,
And impede.

In the prevention of anything done,
That generates any forward movement...
For a preferred suffocating stagnation.
A belief many wish to keep increased.

Can't See (Useless)

We were both cast forth from the same pale hand
And we both moved freely in the shadowlands
And we both were sculpted by the same cold wind
And we both had armor that was made of tin
And I tried to find you, but it's useless
And I tried to speak, but it was useless
And I felt so bad and I didn't know why
And it didn't get better as time went by
I was there for you, but you turned away
And I tried to find you, but you turned away
And I tried to find you, but it's useless
And I tried to speak, but was useless
And I tried to find you, but it's useless
And you're so close, but I can't see you
And you're right there, but I can't see you
And I feel so dumb and I didn't know what to do
You were right there but I can't see you
And I realize that it's useless
And I want to fight, but it's useless
And I know you're there, but it's useless
And you're everywhere, but it's useless
And I tried to say it, but my tongue got tied
And I tried to say it, but I was numb inside
And I can't see you anymore
And my peace of mind has gone through the door
And I realize that it's useless
And I thought I was right, but it was useless
And I know you're there, but it's useless
And you're everywhere, but it's useless
And I can't see now in front of my nose
And I know you're there, and I know you're close
And you're fading away - now you disappear
And I try to focus, but I can't see clear
And I don't know why I feel this way
And I can't control myself anyway
And I don't know why I feel this way
And I can't control myself anyway
And I feel so bad, but it's useless
And I feel so bad, but it's useless
And I feel so bad, but it's useless
And I can't see... now in front of my face.

Transparent Waters

Begin thoughts scrub the surface,
Remove rust, wash the sable spots
Of eyes, of heart and of dark mind;
But the diabolic coat a layer upon a layer,
Impede lights, make us blind,
Though we claim to be the men of wisdom,
Yet we move in the canyon of obscurity.

Standing upon the top of an alien hill,
I beheld a lush green gorge,
Merging with serpentine bends,
Down below into the countless mounds.
All humps rose with moderate heights;
Below to the left on the turn first,
A tall tree with comb like leaves,
And extending branches enchanted my soul.

Upward to the right behind the top,
An ocean of the subtle transparent waters,
With no crease, no ridges or dancing waves,
Extended, stretched beyond the sight,
Like a huge colourless glass affixed,
In the wooden frame lying prostrate.

Looking down through transparent waters,
On the other side I beheld beneath the sky blue,
And walked upon praying, with the body ethereal,
O! God,
“Impede access of Man to those e spheres,
Lest like world they should pollute them too.”

Incriminating Love

If loving you is crime
Let me spend all my life
In stock and shackle
Let people have criminal
Engrave on my grave stone

I don’t mind the whirlwind
Or think of the hurdles
The atmosphere may be gloomy
I say no to its deception
And remain unwavering

There could be mountain of despair
That stands between us
Or impede our coming together
But I could cut stone of hope
Out of mole of despair

Pain - Farmer

Take the lead, flow a river
Bloodbath in mind is here
Impeding will of farmer is not humor
Hunger and anger made to hymn
Along the brisk of tamper, lost all gain nil
Politics kills more than words.

To Learn As Time Passes

Why is it,
That those who have been shunned and ostracized...
And have begun to live productive and happy lives,
Become the ones despised...
By those who decided,
To ignore and keep them distanced.
Then to learn as time passes as some usually do,
Who has benefitted more from this experience.
