It's yours, I give it...

The weight, from my shoulders to you

Atlas is blessed, fore his is the sky

Your's belonged to the woman

You proclaimed to love

Deceived with silicon promises

You poisoned life and limb

Seeping to the soul, your prickling finger

While three pricker's stare back at you

Now, I am free, so mote it be...

I begged you to stop

With explaination, reason and why

Distrust isn't love, ignorance will pay

I feel no empathy, sympathy or remorse

Not when you drained me

The thing I protected you from

Stop, before I will not stop myself

Dense, your lead can not protect you

Pushed you have, your last

Only to carry gold, heavy dreams...

Judge not, unless you be judged

From way's of old
A secret renewed
Cosmic fire, to ancient lyric's
I sang the song to ancestoral lead

It is done, the pain is yours

So mote it be...
A weight that once
belonged to me

Carry if you think you can
You the one that said, "I'm MAN"

I will not watch
I will not stay
Soon the weight will have it's way

A womans work is never done
But, I've had enough...

So, "You" have fun!!!

suffocation

The freedom is always there for the take. One however has the tendency to believe that one is trapped when in fact its not so. Being put on a "pedestal" (again) and being mistreated with mistrust is not love, nor is it admiration but mere ignorance (I agree). It is not ones chore to bear the pain of others. Soon child you can let go and fly away Robinbird.

Good expressive write,

Laura...R.I.P...fool!
Hey, a womans got to do what a womans got to do...at this point, I personally don't give a good s#*t! It's like this, basic physics...what goes around, comes around...for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction...what you think about, you bring about...what goes up,
"Is Up"...my heart gets me in more life educational HardKnox University PHD's-hit, but, I was taught by the best and the worst, on reverse education from the HKU, don't use it often...but, I can and I will! Strangely enough,
I had a toothache yesterday, my bad knee bothering me, my blood pressure out of control...Oh well, feel good, real good...had to take, ah-what's his name to the ER, I dropped him off, humph, hate it...he's still there...
you know, those "prick fingers" just might poke a big ole hole in the pricker, not the prickee...let me add, "I can breathe, and it feels good!"

I'm in flight as we speak...

weighty
This has resolve, determination, and a certain "anchoring" to deep conviction in its reasoning. Further, it speaks in statements which give it a clear definition and, I suspect, empower the speaker.
On first read, it felt fragmented. However, on return, the "fragments" managed to hang on to their proclamatory tone for me and gained, in doing so, a voice with the ability to etch itself deeply in memory. A dig-your-heels-in write, full of the detachment needed to make it irreversibly final.
I like this for its truth-telling.
Where's La'Shea? She needs to see this...

you got it wrong
Robin

No one is being foolish here, nor being attacked.
I was merely interpreting your poem in a positive light; I don’t see were you are coming from with comment.

Laura, KNOW,no,no....
Not you, as the fool...or the rest in peace...
that "thing-a-ma-jig" and, yes mam, he was attacked by himself and that pie hole of his...
take care, girl, see you soon...

Thriving
Robin;
We can learn from 'shakespeare' and other great poets to know what it is to be human; We either suffer, thrive or both... But in the end, we have the Victory!

Blessings,

THE DEATH OF LIT.ORG
Robin,

I must comment on one more thing...your poetry is too good for this site, you should move on my friend.

THIS SHOULD BE CALLED BAD LIT.ORG...IT IS DECAYING AND SUFFOCATING. CAN'T YOU SEE, I GUESS WE WILL HAVE TO ENTERTAIN OURSELVES WITH OTHER WRITERS THAT DON'T KEEP RECYCLING THEIR POEMS, AND WANNABE BORED LIT "TYPES"....LOOK HOW MANY HAVE PULLED OUT! THE DREAM IS DEAD.

macbeth on deathof lit.org
what do you mean? I only recently heard about this place and so far it seems nice with maybe only one or two exceptions the people here seem to polite and nice too.
Robin about your poem. Is is about soemthing only you can understand. Not sure what to say about it. It does sound empowering self motivation. It has a strength to it and a caution warning sign that is interesting and foreboding.

( Posted by: castanedalupe [Member] On: February 8, 2006 )

YOU don't LIKE lit.org? what??
seems strange because I have read your last comments and you seemed in tuned with people you always commented on

what happened here?

Sorry Robin,
I left a note for Laura here, not thinking and forgot to comment on this poem of yours.

You know I've enjoyed always reading your poetry. I understand lots of it because of the things my daughter has gone through. There are many good writers here and I have enjoyed my time here and will continue to do so. I have several poems published and others are rated low here, but that is ok........we all have our low times even in writing!! But I am here becuase I like to share my experiences and if it helps one person to smile or shed some tears......whichever then I am ok with it all too.

I hope you keep on staying, but it's a choice only you can make. Sorry to see your good friend Laura leave....she was a strong writer. One that I will miss reading.

Yes there are other sites as well and they each turn......so whatever you choose to do, know that you're thought of. Best wishes to you always Robin and I wish you the best of luck on the book you want to write.

And yes I agree with Lucie, La'Shea should see this, IMO I believe she'd really like it too.

Darlene ;)

Death of Lit?
I only stop by once or twice a week now, and I stopped posting things a while ago.

To be honest, the principal reason I eased away from this site is that I got fed up with all the Christian propagandists who argued in a manner remarkably similar to my eight-year-old's.

Not to say all Christians on the site are like this -- there are exceptions. But not many.

It became irritating, so I figured, let 'em have the site.

I see now we have a vicious antisemitic Christian posting now. How glorious.

Viper9 Church of Jesus Christ Christian
Did I miss something? Or did you? I should have explained and I apologize for giving you the wrong impression. You have grossly misinterpreted my intentions. The words I posted were not my own words nor words that I would ever support.

I posted a quoted text statement from the Aryan Nations forum discussion site that backed up the William Grim article regarding the current neo-Nazi/Al Qaeda connection. Those words you read were of actual neo-Nazis. One is an Alabama neo-Nazi minister who is an Islamic extremist and who is the liaison between the organizations of Aryan Nations and various Islamic groups world wide including Al Qaeda.

The Church of Jesus Christ Christian is one of the Aryan Nation's Identity Christian Churches. These are not real Christians. They hate all mainstream Christians as well as Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell for their support of Jews. These are Aryan racialist churches that go back a bit in US history.

You may verify this for yourself by going to the www.aryan-nations.org website and reading it for yourself. The internet is the primary recruiting and information sharing tool of the Aryan racialists groups, and the Aryan Nations is one of the largest among many in the US and world wide. This information is relevant and educationally benefiting to an American public that is generally ignorant of anything outside of their limited mainstream experience or of that which is not reported on the evening news.

I am sure you will agree that this kind of knowledge needs to be shared not censored.

I seem to have misunderstood what you were doing, BHansen. So I'm sorry for that. You're right -- the information should be shared.

( Posted by: Viper9 [Member] On: February 10, 2006 )

BHansen/ Robinbird
B- All you needed to do was post sites where info could be read, with brief intro. We didn't need to read diatribes from those sites at threads.

Robin- Sorry. Your piece is nicely done.

Lucie&weight...
Lucie, love your comment...I guess the deep use of worded conviction is evident and I meant every word...this write I played with...also, some poor souls will believe anything, persuasion, simple persuasion...I took "it" off of him, I "un-moted" "it"...words are powerful tools...still, loved your comment...I see something is up...I wanted to comment as I go...
I've not had this kind of following...been pc-less...It's aweful when a man tries to buy you with a computer and you fall for it...

thanks for your time and comment, always...

Robin
