Ego Fragilistic

If you noticed someone drowning in a pool, would you compliment them on their backstroke?

If you noticed someone putting milk in their car instead of gas, would you wish them good luck on their trip?

How little respect some people have... all for the sake of courtesy and an exchange of vain compliments?

Not even an extra strength a*****e could be so heartless.....

Human nature it is as simple as that. Yeah, some people fight and try to do "the right" thing, but is it really the right thing? Some idiot is drowning in a pool he deserves it since he probably knew he couldn't swim. If some fool thinks he can use milk as fuel for his car he needs to be shoot. Survival of the fittest is how the world should work, let the stupid and weak die off so the smart and strong can get on with life.

I feel so bad for you. Genuine self loathing must be a real b***h to deal with on a day to day basis. Good luck with that, "genius".

Cutting Edge

While I see the world as it is, I've learned to keep my blade sheathed
The words cut too deep
Even in the mirror they don't see themselves as they are
So lost they are
A blade of light allows them to see through the darkness they cast
They shy away
Why does it hurt so much to see themselves as the play pretend
Hiding from the light
I can't stand to watch them drowned in a self-imposed darkness
I cut out ribbons of light
So they run with all their might for fear of the sight
I sheath my sword
Sometimes I will unleash my words should they ask
Quickly they learn
The don't wish to see what they look like to me
Drowning in the pool
What a beautiful backstroke I have for you to see
Please compliment me

[Davidgeo]

Of course you did. You seem like that kind of lady.

If someone were drowning, I'd more than likely give my own life to save them... If someone were putting milk in a vehicle instead of gasoline, I'd more than likely be the one who assists in siphoning the tank... I understand what is being expressed here. As sometimes we all exchange those little white lies simply for the betterment of a situation from awkward to intimate. Yet I have always looked at courtesy and compliments as, "Do unto others as you would have done onto yourself"... People striving to become the best versions of themselves. As if someone said "You're beautiful" and had truly merely meant "You're okay" this doesn't make them a heartless a*****e in my book as it will always be easier to be a jerk compared to what it takes to be a good person. To me it would be a moment when they had rose above themselves for the sake of another. This little piece had obviously made me think...

Are you fan of TS Eliot? I recommend his very first great poem "the love song of J Alfred Prufock". I'll post it to your profile. (you are not wrong in your assessment)

[Papaya]

Hmmm. Yeah. Some ppl say dumb things sometimes.

[Davidgeo]

I own stock in that company.

[Papaya]

Me too. (But less than you)

I sort of remember two community policemen watching someone drown. The excuse being. It was against health and safety to put themselves at risk. Luckily a member of the public jumped in and saved the guy.

[Davidgeo]

Yeah, that's probably bullshit. Cool story though.

[Paul Bell]

Actually true, the media got hold of it, and gave the police dogs abuse. Turns out because they were community Police, they were told to wait for the proper rescue team. The media called it health and safety gone mad.

[Davidgeo]

Don't live in the media, its almost always a reasonable situation sensationalized and spun into whatever agenda is trending for that outlets audience. If your looking for an anti police narrative you will find one. "the media got a hold of it"....ugh... don't waste my time with bullshit Tony.

[Davidgeo]

You should stop creating fake profiles. These games you continue to try and play are childish and completely transparent. You are not so clever. I'm trying to be nice to you even though I know who you really are... but the more you talk to me the more I remember the kind of s**t pile you truly are. I hope you're not still stalking and creeping on women... take more pills if that's still the case.

[Paul Bell]

Nothing fake about my profile, or me. But you've made your point. Maybe you're not taking enough pills. Tony.

[Davidgeo]

Hush now son.... you can go now.
