Belittled
no one treats you
like you do
like the way
you treat yourself
so you shall be
treated
the way you
want
to be treated
if belittled
it is because
you have
belittled yourself
as Eleonore
once said
no one makes
you inferior
without your
consent
belittled
because you
belittle yourself
you feel
just the way
you deserve it
try standing up
with dignity
try integrity
and honesty
and a clean
life free from
the stains
of corruption
and pornography
exploitation
and oppression
free from
the dictates
of caprice
and evil
and guilt
and whims
hold on to
a clean life
something
that you can
start with &
be proud of
and then
we shall follow
we shall return
what you have
given, my friend
and then we shall
say
we are proud of you
and then
you will hear
how our hands
also know
how to applaud
those
who dignify
themselves

Belittling Is On The List
Inappropriate business...
Conducted to disrupt in destructive ways,
Maybe thought to be fun...
For those beginning conflicts done.
Arguments and tantrums do not end.
And the ones igniting them,
Do it...
To offend.
Belittling is at the top of their list.
Belitting others they can't resist.
Belitting is treated as if a gift.
Belittling to do is their wish.
There are people who live to breathe,
To belittle others into fits.
There are people who love to leave...
Others belittled then split.

Could This Be You?
Somebody has to keep faith,
Deep believed.
Somebody should feel everyday,
Come what may...
They can not lose.
No matter what it is they may be going through.
Somebody should stop crawling on their knees.
With a moody attitude.
Could this be you...
Who can choose to improve?
If you wanted to!
Some people live their lives,
Caught up in the middle...
Attempting to solve complexing riddles.
To feel 'flipped, flapped and jacked'...
As if heated on a griddle,
Becoming puzzled and belittled.
With a blowing of a stack,
That leaves them to sizzle...
In a whipping stirred that leaves them broken,
Choked up and seen...
In a pity that's demeaned.
Somebody should stop crawling on their knees.
With a moody attitude.
Could this be you...
Who can choose to improve?
If you wanted to!
Somebody has to keep faith,
Deep believed.
Somebody should feel everyday,
Come what may...
They can not lose.
No matter what it is they may be going through.
Could this be you?
Caught up in the middle,
Puzzled and belittled.
Could this be you?
Caught up in the middle,
Puzzled and belittled.
Could this be you?
Caught up in the middle,
Puzzled and belittled...
Feeling flapped and jacked,
And heated on a griddle!
Could this be you?
Caught up in the middle.
Could this be you?
Caught up in the middle.
Could this be you?
Caught up in the middle,
Feeling puzzled and belittled!

Employ Similes Prudently
Her face is compared to the moon.
She is, of course, flattered by it,
But the moon is not belittled.
A seer is compared to the God
Where the seer is elevated
And the God is belittled.
Employ similes prudently.

List Of Things You Want
You want to be treated fairly.
You want to be treated right.
You want to be treated with respect.
And your dignity protected day and night.
What makes your needs any different than mine?
And why should I treat you more thoughtfully,
Than you have treated me?
And you taught me the many faces,
Of mental and physical abuse.
With declarations to make me feel,
Unqualified to be near a gutter.
And you want what?
From me?
To prove to you I can be humane?
I know I did not hear you say that?
And you called me a heathen too?
Heathens do not give the shirts off their backs.
You want to be treated fairly.
You want to be treated right.
You want to be treated with respect.
And your dignity protected day and night.
And...
May I add,
An all expense paid trip to Fantasy Island.
Hosted by the best psychiatrist available.
With a need to stay.
Put that on your list of things you want.
To have us both hope that happens.
And not soon enough.

I Wouldn't Treat A Dog
when i was up
You'd always come around
When i need a friend
You could never be found
I got a hole
Where my heart used to be
I wouldn't treat a dog, no
The way you treated me
When time was good, love
All of your lovin' was the same
Oh, when the goin' got rough
Boy, you hardly knew my name
You locked me out
And you threw away the key, baby
I wouldn't treat a dog, no no no
The way you treated me
Got me cryin for the love
That i'm needin'
Beggin' like a dog for a bone
Boy, i've spent most of my time grievin'
You turn you back
And you leave me, one of these old days
Lord knows that it's true
Just when you need me the most
I'll be walking out on you
When you say
As you're beggin' down on your knees, baby
I wouldn't treat a dog, no no no
The way you treated me
The way you treated me
I wouldn't treat a dog, no no no
The way you treated me
No, no i wouldn't do it
No, baby, i couldn't do it
I wouldn't treat a dog, no no no
The way you treated me
No baby, the way you treated me

A few months have passed
And not a word have you said
Nothing left to last
Just a bunch of horrible memories stored in my head
Why have you treated me with such hate
You're cruelty has reached the top
And when I realized it was too late
There was no way for you to stop
Anything you say or do will never make up for all you've done
And every time you treated me that way..I kept thinking you've won
But no, no more will I accept that from you
Since now i know what I must do
I will never treat you the way you've treated me before
Not less will I ever do so and not even more
I’m not going to hurt you, I’m not going to do the same thing you've Done to me
But now I know what to do in front of you and what person I should be
I know ignoring you is the only way to start your pain
I know the way to start it and drive you insane
People like you don't deserve to be treated with respect
You'll seriously wish that we've never even met
And after that you will see
That the only thing you've done wrong was leaving me

Fundamental of Liar Chapter XXXIV: Sin
of course, there are some man who deserved to die
if you want to kill, kill by yourself
hold your knife and stab
but don't use somebody else's hands
and wash your hands clean from responsibility
human will pay for their sins, maybe in horrible way
so what's the payoff for you to make someone's life gone like an animal?
you say it's the fault of the one who makes you commit a sin
commit a sin but don't want to take the consequences
only for such reason
should human treated cruel like that?

Eleonore
Oh eleonore
You came the long way home
Coming with a dream
And going back alone
Oh eleonore
You have left this place
So theres no warm embrace
Just a short hello
Then turn around and go
Oh eleonore
Oh eleonore friends are hard to find
And youve left yours behind
You dont known where to stay
But thats the price you pay
Oh eleonore
It shouldnt bother me
You wanted to be free
Ive known it before
Since youve closed the door
Oh eleonore
And if you turn around you see
That there is no one else but me
I guess we both know whats best so forget about the rest
Oh eleonore
You came the long way home...

I Wouldn't Treat A Dog (the Way You Treated Me)
When I was up,
Girl, you were always comin' round
When I needed a friend,
You could never be found.
I've got a hole where my heart used to be.
I wouldn't treat a dog, whoa no baby
The way you treated me. (I couldn't do it to ya, now)
When times were good,
Girl, all your lovin was the same.
When the cold wind got rough,
You hardly knew my name.
You've locked me out and you threw away the key.
I wouldn't treat a dog, whoa no baby,
The way you treated me.
You've got me cryin' for love and I need it,
Beggin' like a dog for a bone.
I know I spend all my time feelin',
Turn my back and you'll leave me one of these old days.
Lord know that it's true,
Just when you need me the most,
Girl, I'll walk right out on you.
I hear you say, beggin' down on your bended knees,
I wouldn't treat a dog, whoa no baby,
The way you treated me.
I've got a hole where my heart used to be,
I wouldn't treat a dog, whoa no baby,
I wouldn't treat a dog, whoa no baby,
The way you..... treated...... me.

Accept Me For Who I Truely Am
when will ppl start to accept me,
for who i am,
instead of who i pretend to be at times,
when are they going to see,
this is not all of me,
all that meet the eye,
there is more of me,
good and bad,
you can't just choose what you like,
and expect me to be alright,
i have feeling like everybody else,
i want to be accepted for my past,
not to feel like i have cooties,
my past is not completely who i am,
it just apart of me,
yes it makes me afraid to do things,
but it doesn't not mean,
i can't work towards them,
to make them better,
so i don't get controlled by it,
it not like i am damage goods,
just waiting to be recycled,
i didn't have a choice,
why don't ppl see that?
my innocents was taken,
along with my trust,
it the reason i do have problems trusting,
but it don't mean i won't get past it,
it just means i have to try alittle bit harder,
all i need is that one person by my side,
at least walking through it with me,
than with time it will get better,
it will become easier to do,
what i want to do so freely,
without it feeling like a punishment,
i wait for the day this can be me,
not being afraid to express myself sexually,
without play backs running through my mind,
telling me i don't deserve to be treated right,
i'm human just like everybody,
i deserve to start getting treated right,
and how i want to be treated,
without fear of feeling like i did,
something wrong to begin with.

Proud American Soldier
Proud American Soldier
(God bless and keep safe our fighting men and women in harm’s way)
I fought beside my brothers, as they died on foreign shores,
I’m proud to say, we fought and slay, our enemies by the scores.
One by one, we fought and won, wars down through the ages,
The history books are written with our blood stains on the pages.
Our skin is many colors, we are women and we’re men,
We stand up to injustices no matter where or when.
I’m a Proud American Soldier, my job’s to keep us free,
I ply my timeless trade so far away, across the sea.
When others cringe and cower, you’ll find us standing tall,
We’ll remain steadfast until the last, of the evil tip and fall.
Come what may, get in our way, we’ll never cut and run,
We’ll stay our course, with no remorse and it ain’t always fun.
We’re the sailors that go out to sea, we’re the pilots in the sky,
We’re the grunts out in the fox holes, and we all know that men die.
I’m a Proud American Soldier, my job’s to keeps free,
I ply my timeless trade so far away, across the sea.
They spoke kindly of my enemies, the same day that I died,
Then burned my flag in protest, as my widow watched and cried.
But don’t you worry much my friends, nor shed a tear for me,
There’s more where I come from, to fight and keep you free.
Freedom isn’t free dear friends, we foot the bill in blood.
We die in the desert sand and in the jungle’s mud.
I’m a Proud American Soldier, my jobs to keep us free,
I ply my timeless trade so far away across the sea.
I may be just a soldier, but that’s just fine by me.

Play all part
Fool is having two wives
Still pathetically he lives
Life may go on with same assigned role
Peace may never be had even if called
Is the life not like circus?
Everything is like mirage and minus
Yet we strive hard to maintain dignity
May be life is another name for continuity
In circus we play all parts
Limited time to play and depart
Yet leave behind the simple fact
Life has to be based on real acts
No one can afford to take it lightly
As some has said it rightly
Life is so uncertain and not in our hand
Everybody must be treated as close or friend
As show nears the end with long applauds
You have mission accomplishment and feel proud
No one may ever think of hazards involved
As life is known to have some facts to revolve around

The Scarecrow
Once I said to a scarecrow, 'You must be tired of standing in this
lonely field.'
And he said, 'The joy of scaring is a deep and lasting one, and I
never tire of it.'
Said I, after a minute of thought, 'It is true; for I too have
known that joy.'
Said he, 'Only those who are stuffed with straw can know it.'
Then I left him, not knowing whether he had complimented or belittled
me.
A year passed, during which the scarecrow turned philosopher.
And when I passed by him again I saw two crows building a nest
under his hat.

Please Remember Me
Should tomorrow start without me
Remember I love you.
Looking down from up above
Seeing everything you do.
If I become a casualty
I pray you will love again
Whom ever makes you happy
I'll consider my friend.
Should tomorrow start without me
Remind our boys, God loves all who care.
And when life seems too harsh and cruel
With 'Him' they must share their prayer.
I have proven I'm not a coward
Who breaks and runs to survive.
Always fearing death will kiss me
As the streets of Baghdad I drive.
Should tomorrow start without me
Be proud I choose to serve.
Our faith and our patriotism
Earn the freedom we deserve.
I miss home more than ever
It breaks my heart to stay away
I can't help but want to hold you
And whisper what I say.

Man Worries
the way life was
is something life
should never be
verbally and physically
abusing me
you broke me down
down to my knees
you put your hands on me
in front of my seeds
but im finally free
free to be me
free from the endless struggle
i had to endure
at the hands of someone
i thought loved me
scared to leave
cause of what you said youd do to me
afraid at times to come home
cause of how you treated me
but now im gone
and never coming back
me and the kids
are living a worry free life
i have moved on
and found a new wife
who loves me for me
and not the punching bag
you wanted me to be
i was called a punk and all that junk
because mama taught me respect
respect my wife and she will respect you
never put your hands on a woman
thats what everyone said
well who do you turn to
when its the woman putting fists to your head.

A toothbrush rush
Could I try to
Save self, save us, save the world?
Let's take one soft tooth brush
and start to clean own heart
of every dark spot,
or rust stain
or the mischievous thought
before it comes to be
a putrid mould.
Brush kindly
for rebel stains
that out comes not
in tears soak.
Put more energy,
one gram of salt
and bit more energy
rub well to truly clean
until becomes pristine.
Then go to those near by
with new tooth brushes
as humble gift
and teach them, show
how you have cleaned
own soul.
Then together
take more brushes
and start to clean some more
maybe the biggest dirt of world,
own violent mind, let the clean be done
kindly, by a homely toothbrush.
Then with a peaceful heart
Done to the people of entire earth
from the pit to the top
once brushed, gurgle
and also rinse the big mouth
We can then start
with all the other
things around
Hard to select
But let's start first
To get rid of our biggest s...t
Lets make the world as well as we,
...nuclear...
Free.
Peacefully, with patience
let's give our earth clean
Love.

Who I am? & What I Want?
I am not a sinner, but nor am I saint
I was born to love but I was taught to hate
I have searched for answers, but remained lost
I've discovered happiness, but had to bear the coast
Unkept promises, unfair lives are what make us who we are
hurt, belittled and doubtful of reaching anywhere far
Isn’t it ironic to have ambition but lack the will to live?
Isn’t it painful to love so much but lose the ability to give?
Oh, those sleepless nights, that lonely moon and I
Those haunting thoughts that still cause my heart to cry
I will get over him and her and everything that they have done
but will I ever manage to set my self free to run?
