Hello everyone  , 

It has been a long time since I last posted on my blog . I am still here and am doing as well as most , I hope . 

A few months ago I wrote a piece called ‘ The World Cried ‘ .  I have been pondering whether or not this piece should go public . I received my answer today . 

This verse , like most , is a representation of my feelings . On Feb. 22nd I was having a grayish kind of day , nothing truly earth shattering , but far from a ...

—‘ happy day ‘ — .

Trying to live from on day to the next is not always an easy task . When you add depression and anxiety on top of life , so often you { I } feel ‘closed in’ . It was like life had me shut aside somewhere in order to survive . Anxiety has a bad habit of listening to your depressive self and the end result is a head full of emotional pain needing to be free . 

Like all my public work I post this is  , or at least I intended it to be , without judgement of others . 

The words I write are my hurt and wounded inner-self just shouting to the world ‘ can somebody just please listen to me ‘ . 

I have never posted about my emotional illness , and for that , I am sorry .

I hope that by reading this you will come away with a better understanding my true emotions . In public life I may seem happy and carefree , however nothing could be further from the truth .

In the past I have stated on many other blogs and remarks here and there that the stigma of mental and emotional illness needs to change . 

Many who suffer do so in silence , mostly out of fear and shame .

With the pandemic of last year , more and more people are understanding that it is — OK , not to be OK . That if the bad emotions are not let out , they will eventually hurt even more . 

What I wrote is harsh , at times it may seem even mean , however I can assure you all it was never intended to be . These are my thoughts as they were — allowed — by me to be set free . 

Thank you , I hope you comment below and until next time , take care  , stay safe and God bless.

The World Cried

The world cried , but no one listened , and now we start anew . 

The largest looming question is can we ? Are we smart enough — yet — to learn from our past ?

Only time can answer such questions , however in recent days I have not seen any indicators that would reflect an uptick in intelligence .

The world , it would seem , had grown comfortable in there ignorant bliss . 

People playing about  , wearing masks to hide there true self , and pretending like it was nothing . 

SARS-2  , was poorly done , plain and simple , the pandemic of 2020 was not — bad enough — to invoke change . Yes indeed that sounds like a cruel thing to say , I do regret my thoughts , however we must face the facts as they are presented .

Too many people lived , the plain and ugly truth . 

Am I mad ? Have I completely lost all known sense of reality and civility ? 

I think not !!

We must look to history to find the answers so many have asked . It is there we will find pandemics of the past that have eradicated the stupidity of its times and allowed a — more intelligent — society to rise from the literal ashes of its time . 

All this information can be found in the Holy Bible and books of history , it is all there .

Learning from the past is the only way to live a better tomorrow.

This is now 2021 and the world seems hell bent on just existing — instead of — living .

I want to live , I want the world to live , however the sad truth is that the world is not ready to live . 

In 2020 we did not learn well enough to live in the future , so we are now just going about from one day to the next , always wondering and never really caring . 

I normally would say ,  ‘ all rebuttals are welcome ‘ , but I fear that modern ways and actions of  humanity are  just not ready for the responsibility of tomorrow .  

Should anyone find truth in my words , please — please comment . 

Thank you and may the strength of All Mighty God save us all , these are now desperate times.
