So much is said, depending on how it is said, so much trouble can be brought on...

Off Color…


 


In our scary world of today,


Some find it hard to accept what we say,


Especially if what we say is done so,


In an off color way…


 


Speaking to someone in an aggressive manner,


Can bring on from them a face of red, like a banner,


Speaking in a more assertive tone,


We may find it easier to understand, no bones…


 


Rather than reporting that person,


To their boss, their superior, their higher up,


Things can be worked out, with little or no lay up,


For working things out, is the way to bring on peace,


No need then to go out and call the police…

Off color poetry sometimes scares and shocks and wakes us up. I consider myself mature for all. And if I don't like being exposed to the 'whatever' I can stop reading it if I choose. The key
word is choose. I choose to read porno, or the bible or dirty words
or prayers. Whatever turns me on I can do. Freedom to do what I want to so long as it does not infringe on the rights of others.
.......... But if my freedom impinges on the young immature mind; then I should hold my tongue unless I can learn to express myself
to the young in terms that are governed by my sense of moral probity.
Here are my final words on this subject: x09ajd wj[ra wpewe[r
eifa or wwq3n see I said all the dirty words in code.

Excellent advice, Ed; and now about this little matter concerning you calling me and Andy a virus that's spreading like the plague...

Future: The Spiritual Story of Humanity by Glenn Martin

Histories of the world are generally written to either celebrate technology and science, or to herald doom. My book examines the path of the spirit in the onward rush.
