Live and Struggle Powerfully!

Missing image

Do you believe voices, advertisements,

Powerpoint agenda’s,  that deceive.

Misconception and Confusion, Power Tools designed,

to Influence, Inhibit and Control our thinking?

 

Stripping away self confident decisions.

Drilling you one small inch at a time.

Sawing away your single mind into,

"Double-minded thinking."

 

Consider our prisons, over capacity and FULL.

Weary souls who thought the “short-cuts” Worthy Goals.

 They too were April Fools believing in justified excuses.”

Jailing themselves into living double minded lives.

 

There are STOP signs in our life.

Yield signs too.

Cautioning, Warning,

Stomach Twisters, Heartburn, Migraines, Trouble sleeping.

The human bodies built in barometers.

We see auctions every night.. greeding prescription 60 second

commercials, cleverly disguised, advising us,

"they have all the answers we could ever need"

despite painful side affects.

Is diarherria or constipation really the answers we seek?

 

Remember when you smiled for no reason,

Purpose or design?  It just felt good to do!

 Have you ever heard yourself say,at question all you do.ou?risons

?

“Useless is this life”

 “Why dream?”

“Life is nothing more than bills of debt, nightmares and headaches.”

 

Your Barometer is pleading with you!

 Reach out Beyond Yourself!

Confront and face, consider counsel to ease,

unravel you.

Create new connections,

Take a walk, breathe in new fresh oxygen.

Force laughter out of your mouth,

write a little ditty about something totally silly! 

Wrestle boldly those confusion thoughts.

Make a list and actions you could do,

To Cross them OFF your list!

I can assure you this,

  it feels Damn good to do!

  It is a start,

to release Strength and Power burning inside you.

 Most importantly, kindly remember,

There are many, not just a few,

Who are tenderly struggling, connecting us all together

ever so delicately. 

Live and Struggle Powerfully.

 

 

 

Author notes

I was inspired by a poster that said, Live and Struggle
Powerfully!
We have a lot of problems in America that
are OVERDUE...and perhaps we as individuals need to start
with our own inventories before we can TACKLE the REALLY
BIG ISSUES that are screaming for long overdue attention.

It is pretty obvious that the federal government is just
not going to be able to handle all of it, we're going to
have to do it as a individuals... Americans, if we're just
not to weary to do the things that need our actions.

    Amen to this

    I see it every day and why others cant is beyond me . Watch the TV when something really bad is going on and checkk out the newest scandle they can come up with to get your mind away from whats really going on .So sad indeed and it truly freightens me that their is no freedom as we once knew in this country its being taken away more in the last 5 years than it has ever been taken before . When are all the races going to see what they are doing to our country and back up and see they are causing the conflicts between us not us

    Hm...this is a completely powerful write
    that just completely left me mesmerized
    by the powerful message within these lines.
    It absolutely hopes to me and message of hope,
    and to never give up--oh, and to utilize
    the golden rules more often...[and occasionally my own "silver rules"]
    .
    .
    .

    Keep penning!

    A good poem, but it kinda sends a mixed message at me. "Ignore the propaganda, but listen to this. This... this is how you should live life!" I know I'm kinda talking... a bit of a low hit, but take the medicine, get diarherria, take a walk, get leg cramps. The truest form of propaganda DOES in fact leave out the small, little things that may lower the power of the great idea.

    On that note, wish you well on the contest.

    This poem speaks more truth to me then most that I have read thus far. Your words they jump out and grabbed me 'round my neck and forced me to pay brave attention to each word in every single line. This is indeed a very powerful poem, and you did a wonderful job in putting this together. God bless you. This poem states so much honesty, and your muse on this is amazing. Keep up the excellent job and keep on creating new and I'll keep reading.

    Fantastic inspiring work, thank you so much for this. It just so happens that I was rather down today and needed to read this, it put a smile on my face and made me think. Well done on a really good poem. Good luck in the contests.

    This an interesting and thought provoking poem. I got lost along the way. The parts I understood, I agree with you. Life is struggle.
