PunchingBag

I'm a little angry about some people who want to use my wife and I for a punching bag because of their jealousy and personal problems. This kind of makes me want to reach out and touch someone, but I gave up revenge and foolishness 20 some years back. Anyway, this at least kind of motivates me to write about it. Along with what I see some folks during to others. Here in Baltimore we had a police officer attacked and killed by the family members of a hoodlum he locked up for shooting him in the neck during a hold up. The officer survived and testified in court against the suspect. Here recently we just had a federal prosecuter bruitally murdered. He was a drug prosecuter. The news media keeps saying, "no evidence has showed that his murder was job related." Come on now, maybe not, but some things never change in this area. And some people never learn in life. They continue to play the blame game. I'm telling you right up square, being evil and refusing to take the blame for your own F'ups is a losing game. I've been a much happier person for the last twenty years just for simply giving up the foolishness. Then again I don't have an evil heart. If you do, you have that foolish right. Who am I to judge?

The blame game lives big time,
in regular life and hoodlum crime.
No one wants to face up,
look in the mirror at why they are corrupt.
Right and wrong exist only in minds,
not in common sense finds.
Quite a few look for punching bags,
forget that they have dirty rags.


Anytime you play the blame game,
the boomerang returns the same.
Life is a lot more graceful,
when it is lived peaceful.
Trying to hurt others in the process,
only increases living stress.
Going on the offense,
constantly requires a defense.
The struggle never ends,
life continues its bends.


Some people are just evil,
hooked right in with the devil.
I'm glad I'm not one of them,
so I won't suffer with them.
I only go on the offense,
when given no choice in refrence.
Even then I weigh my options,
fine tune my reactions.

Grady , my friend I'm glad you can put on your
armor of positivity and not let the evil doers of
the world get to you. You and your wife are NOT
punching bags for anyone! God bless you both!

Cheers n Love, *Linda*

when people cannot confront the truth about themselves they will often look for a scapegoat ... glad you are beyond being placed in this position ...

powerfully expressed ...
