Even When Exposed To It

Some folks don't want to be told the truth.
Even when exposed to it...
They insist it is an evilness,
Coming to destroy their deludeness.

And they will do anything to prevent its existence.
As they persist to solicit deception visits!
With preferences wished.

And a list of demands,
They hold tightly in sweating hands.
Hoping their insistence,
Will diminish the affects of what they will...
Or will not accept!

If With Truth It Bites

Experiences.
Come to sit within.
What one does with them,
Depends upon the stripping that begins.
To remove that which one knows is untrue.
Deceit for them is not accepted or quickly served.

Experiences can not be exchanged,
For refreshened outlooks to eliminate...
What has been gained.
And perhaps that is the reason,
Those with experience...
Maintain and sustain a growing wisdom.
Many fail to solicit if with truth it bites!

Motivated Immediately

I like it when it is perceived of me,
I am reluctant to compete.
Although I am not one to solicit competitions,
I had been secretly chosen as the one to beat.

Perhaps it is in my appearance?
Or the way I was born to speak.
Who knows what goes on,
In the minds of those who choose to compete.

But when I am the one selected,
Something comes over me!
I am fulfilled and motivated immediately,
With such incredible energy.

Underdogs

A presence that becomes too familiar,
With a stamina that is determined to stay strong...
Isn't always that presence that is championed.
Others can not accept faith like that expressed.
Since many perceive themselves to be underdogs.
To keep distanced what is perceived as strength,
From reminding them of their own weaknesses.
And underdogs professing insecurities to use,
Solicit those who are weak with deceit to reach heights.

Wish And Prefer Not Heard

If a solicited opinion is given,
And the one in the right...
Is often placed in the position,
To defend what has been mentioned...
There is a reason why the one that is right,
Prefers a quality of life...
Away from those who have chosen to oppose,
The observation of reality...
Appearing under all noses.
But somehow,
Choose to remain in defense against...
By those opinions they are quick to solicit.
But wish and prefer not heard.

Looking for Scraps

You accept all kinds of trash,
And wonder 'why' I don't participate?
I can find garbage anywhere...
And for me that is not a debate!
You would like to qualify,
Who you believe
Is of a social standing...
You can receive and highly rate!
But from my point of view...
It is all pure nonsense.
With none of it connected to my fate!
I have a mind that seeks to be challenged.
And yours is on the bottom of the barrel...
Looking for scraps to solicit a scrape!

No Special Treatment Here

If your demands to have your needs met,
Exceeds what I can supply or have on hand...
And yet you insist that I fulfill your wishes?
I am going to do the best I can.
With an expectation from you,
That you pay for my services to you rendered.

You get no special treatment here.
No matter who you solicit, convince or deceive.
Or with whom you advocate,
As to what you have the right to do.
You are going to pay me,
To keep your entitled delusions fed.

Invite, Solicit or Visit. Period

I have never found it alright,
To have others make decisions...
For the way I live my life.

My own parents weren't restrictive,
Or strict.
They made suggestions and that was it.

To have someone decide,
What is or is not for me to appease my appetite...
Is not going to happen.

Unless someone is seeking an argument or a fight.
And at my age I 'will' sleep peacefully at night.

So conflicts to undo my wishes I do not invite.
Nor do I solicit or visit.
Period.

Boxed In and Toxic

Boxed in and toxic.
Caged in derangements,
They seek as shelters.
Yet exploited and encourage,
To denounce themselves...
And what is left of their dignities.

Religiously addicted,
By tricks that have them fixed.
Some are even degreed.
But accept a fellowship...
That assist them quicker,
To solicit their own sickness.

And this they can't seem to 'get'.
Since they've been split from identities.
In worship they dream of an afterlife.
While hypnotically separated,
From the one they breathe.

I Didn't Sell To You What You Bought

Why are you so insensitive?

'Insensitive?

I didn't sell to you what you bought.
Nor was I there to promise you fulfillment.
You are the one experiencing buyer's remorse.
What do you expect from me?
Empathy?

Remember...
You were the one to argue with me,
About minding my own business.
Since you didn't solicit any recommendations.
And if you sought suggestions...
It would be from someone,
You believed had more experience and expertise.

I'm not being insensitive.
I'm keeping it real.'
