It is the ranting that helps the depressions down that keep one fighting the demons that say surrender.




Free Speech Brand Of Scarlet Letters Rant

 

Part 3

 

What was the obscenity that led a business to ban poetry?

That as long as I was employed there that I was censored

From the thing that I used as an therapy tool in a depraved world.

That after a Vietnam honorable discharge - I could be banned

The Napkins I used to release what turmoil was building inside.

That 24/7 - I could not write anything with verse upon it.

That jotting down a lyric verse could be grounds for dismissal.

 

So let America - be my ultimate judge in being called Obscene.

Look at everything I have ever written and there are few curse words.

But hell, damn, and some others words like them will condemn me.

 

I did do a poem that was on the veins of Sylvia Platt nailing words.

I met a total stranger, who was distraught, so I wrote her a poem.

She came over and thanked me, then asked to see my poetry,

Then exclaimed, I was practically stalking her in how they related.

In listening, not talking, she told me about a longtime history of abuse.

All that pain, all that hurt, all that venom left her smiling at the end.

But where did it go? But into the nails of Platt’s word letting loose

By showing all those emotions that scar a lifetime onto pure hell.

Nobody seen the reasoning of the poem and assumed one guilty.

That if you write about it, then you must be part of the problem.

That is what a Catholic Church has done for centuries in pedophilia.

 

Had Coach Paterno pursued the issue, he would have been fired.

For bringing a stain to a Pennsylvania Penn State proud institution.

The easiest way was to put 100% blame on someone,

Not able to defend themselves.

Was he in the wrong, yes he was.

But the buck does not stop there.

 

Why did a Pope not speak out in WWII about the Holocaust fears?

German Catholics warned the Vatican in diplomatic vouchers.

Why has the Church for centuries allowed pedophilia by priests?

That as a Catholic growing up - there were things left unsaid.

My whole childhood is a lost memory for some unknown reason.

Why does the Pope play different politics on abortion?

 Condemning conditions here in Conservative America,

Staying silent in the planned parenthood of Made in China.

Can the Pope make a universal statement against Pedophilia

That it is an Abomination to God’s children,

A moral sin by robbing children of their innocence.

Leaving a inner wound

That will never heal.

Mikii in ranting and venting, we let those things inside us that are festering and churning negativity out that is why it is often seen by others as poetry or verse with fangs. But in fact it is a release to get it out in the open and let some of the frustration out before we are destroyed from within. Do the problems go away, normally no, but we can be more positive with life.

I equate it to a volcano that keeps building pressure. One of two things must happen that it vents periodically to exist less threatening, or keep building and building without any release. That at some point it will blows itself up.

That is why sometimes a person that has become desolate and reclusive will ferment hatred to then commit very violent acts. That one person with love could stop by listening and let them rant without judging them, but guiding them, most people cannot relate to this concept. That most people once they do not fit THEIR mold, they will put Scarlet Letters on them with some kind of label that demeans them.
