To a friend...

Remember the good times spent?
And yet, some that we regret?
Where do you're loyalties lie?
As confusion fills your life with lies.
Throw those cherished years of yesterday,
Away, with the clutter from today.

Take responsibility for your own actions.
For they have made you who you are...
as well as who you are not.

For you've no one left to blame.
As you attempt to defect your pain.
I have never served you wrong.
For I have always helped you to be strong.

Analyze this blame, you lay,
And you will find... you should be full of shame.
For I have offered my help in many ways...
Still, you seem to lack a sense of self blame.

I have been more than just a friend.
I have been your brethren until the end.
I have given all I can, yet,
you seem to take with such demand.

Now that you've spit and turned on me...
I have nothing more, for surely you can't see...
What's wrong from right, up from down or,
the truth and the light.

May peace, love and happiness
Find you someday my brother.

Recent personal events...

I wrote a blog several days ago, under the title "Recent personal events..."

After a bit more thought, I then decided to remove it for very personal reasons...

The previous blog which I had written, would have been better titled "Friendship"...

I am not posting the original here at this time... however, I may re-post in the
near future.

At this time, all I have to say is this:

"Astounded by the ignorance of some, baffled by the boldness of others,
disgusted by their psychotic beliefs, and bewildered by such intent to utterly dismantle the lone, surviving and once thought, strong friendship which had been built over time... friendship can not be measured by the amount of time you have invested in or spent on the other you call friend, nor, by the monetary amount they spend or have spent on you. A true friend is neither hostile or expectant, neither, envious or persecuting. A true friend gives unexpectedly & freely, a true friend never asks for, or requires anything more than just that... a true friend is worth more than any dollar amount in the world, you can not PURCHASE your friends... A true friend, stays the course despite their loss or vice versa. A true friend would NEVER hatefully accuse or blame the other for their own misfortune or ill choices which were made in life... A true friend would recognize and cherish the other as such. At this point in time it seems that the "true friendship" which I have spoke of, and once thought that I had, has now proven to have been no more than an ulterior motive with an underlying agenda. A friendship, which I have actually never truly had...
