What was that Newt?

Newt:  "I think the destructive, vicious, negative nature of much of the news media makes it harder to govern this country… Every person in here knows personal pain.  Every person in here has had someone close to them go through painful things.  To take an ex-wife and to make it two days before a primary and to make it a significant issue in a presidential campaign is as close to despicable as anything I can imaginee"

Imagine that Newt...now you have a slight idea of what our president has endured over the past 4 + years. Not to mention the outright racism, pure hatered, unfair judgement, attacks on his family, physical threats to his life ...an the list goes on.

Cowards

"There are at least two kinds of cowards. One kind always lives with himself, afraid to face the world. The other kind lives with the world, afraid to face himself." Roscoe Snowden

Funny the things people say
Funnier that they tell the world
And can't speak to your face
All you get are one word replies
Fake smiles
All the while they despise you
Naturally this would surprise you
But seeing it before has dulled that
You try to be genuine
But they fail to recognize
Then brush it off as lies
Blinded by the red of rage
And the need to reciprocate
What to do, what to do?
Too confused
No matter what you choose...
Actions and words will be read wrong
So...just leave it be
Go back to the way they want it to be
Never speak of what's on your mind
Much less on your heart ever again
Forget yourself
And make it all about them...

Things Are Changing

People change
When you expect them to be there for you
When you need them to be there for you
They run away like cowards
True colors exposed
Like unsightly wounds
Dug deep into a lifeless fless
The stench of death
Best describes the color of their souls
They move on quickly
Slithering through a life of lies untold
On a constant quest for silver and gold
I was warned about your kind
Devils ... I was told beware
Now I've seen first hand
The character of the beast
Under the mask of a man
We shall see how well you fare
