IF ANY OF YOU DO NOT KNOW ME BY NOW-I TRASK PULL NO PUNCHES...

.......................................

{{{{{{{{{ PHOTO TALK IS REAL CHEAP }}}}}}}}}

A POEM OF WHAT TRUE FRIEND IS:

WORD FRIEND IS MOST MISUSED WORD
IN ENTIRE WEBSTERS DICTIONARY,FOR IN ACCORD
FOR YOU (ONE) TO HAVE TRUE FRIEND
YOU MUST BE TRUE FRIEND AND THEN
SOME! FOR IF YOU HAVE ONE TRUE
FRIEND THROUGHOUT LIFETIME,THEN YOU MY
FRIEND ARE,TRUE
TO CONSIDER YOURSELF FORTUNATE,FOR IT BE,
ALL THOSE ACQUAINTANCES WHOM SAID THEY ARE YOUR FRIEND,SEE,
IT THIS WAY,WHERE WERE THEY WHEN YOU REALLY NEEDED HELP,OR
WHEN YOU WERE DOWN AN DOUBT,MORE
SO PROJECT YOURSELF BACK ONE WEEK,ONE MONTH,ONE,
YEAR,ARE YOU STILL SURE THEY ARE YOUR FRIEND? COME
NOW,YOU ARE UNSURE,YOU SAY!
ONE REALLY IS YOUR FRIEND,WITH DISMAY
MAYBE THIS(MY) LITTLE POEM WILL TEACH
YOU A LESSON IN LIFE,ON HOW TO REACH
ABOVE ALL THAT SHAM IS AROUND
AND,YOU MY FRIEND MAY FIND THAT YOU
MAY FIND THAT TRUE FRIEND,PROFOUND YOU
SAY ONE TRUE FRIEND WHO WANTS NOTHING BUT
YOUR FRIENDSHIP IN RETURN,NO THING MORE,CUT
OUT ALL THOSE ACQUAINTANCES IN YOUR LIFE
YOU'LL FIND YOU HAVE LITTLE OR NO STRIFE,
WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE MY FRIEND,THEN
YOU'VE GOT TO PROVE TO ME,
TRASK THAT YOU ALL CARE & SHARE BE
THAT YOU ARE ARE AWARE,SEE
OF WHAT LIFE IS ALL ABOUT
AND WITHOUT A DOUBT
YOU WILL BE MY TRUE FRIEND...

c 1979/2007 TRASK...

.......................................

ME,TRASK I CAN'T COUNT MY TRUE FRIENDS
ON MY ONE HAND-THEY DON'T EXIST,FRIEND(S)
IS WORD SO MISUSED IT IS ABUSED_

IF I CAN'T CRITICIZE YOU AND YOU CAN'T
TAKE IT THEN YOU ARE NOT MY OR (PLANT)
ANYBODIES FRIEND-YOU ARE JUST ABUSER_

YOU USE PEOPLE TO GET AHEAD OR PUSH
YOUR OWN AGENDA TO LIMIT -OR ITS- TOSH
BECAUSE IF YOU HAVE ME AS TRUE FRIEND_

I TRASK WILL GO TO HELL TO RESCUE YOUR
SORRY ASS...BUT YOU TURN YOUR BACK,SURE
ON ME--YOU ARE F--KEN DEAD...

.......................................

Never Commonplace Forever In Your Face!

ME,TRASK "POETIC PROPHET" c 2007 TRASK...

.......................................

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{ THEN AS NOW }}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE READNG THIS,YOU CAN
KISS MY JEWISH ASS- I AIN'T NO BLAND
TURNCOAT...I WRITE WHAT I SAY I MEAN_

WHAT I MEAN...YOU ARE DEAD...

I WILL NEVER STAB YOU IN YOUR BACK
I WILL ONLY BE IN YOUR FACE-ITS A FACT
YOUR LOSS IS MY GAIN...

{{{ I PULL NO PUNCHES ON NO ONE }}}}}}}

.......................................

A TRUE FRIEND IS A FRIEND INDEED,FOR IT
A TRUE FRIEND WHO IS FRIEND IN NEED,FIT
THEN YOU SEE A TRUE FRIEND IN-DEED...

TRASK, I just read a comment you made about Regis' poem Brief Encounters -- you have such a brilliant dry wit...it tickles my fancy like the best dry champagne...that said, your take on friendship and would-be friends -- delivered in your unique style -- holds truth. So it is.

You tell it like it is, TRASK and I appreciate honesty even if it is "in my face." I have written on the subject of friendship several times because it is hugely important to me. You make some good points here. Love and peace to you,

Regis

TRASK,

I'm sorry I haven't been around as much as I've wanted to be. I haven't been the type of friend I should have been......will you forgive me? I don't always get a chance to read you, not with the damn hour time limit on the local library's computer. One cannot just skim your words; there is a message within; one must slowly read and let it digest...anyway, I hear you. One is blessed if they even have ONE good friend. As you have been. Again, I'm sorry if I let you down. An excellent, in your face, needed reminder. Well done.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Great image Trask. Cracked me up good!
An incisive and transparant write too. True friends are as rare as platinum silk and crystal eggs. Life, and lifes pressures, can often destroy the innocence of true friendships. Those who are blessed enough to weather (together) the myriad forces, and storms, that come against friendship - and come out the other end intact - are blessed indeed.

In the words of the prophet: "A write right on!"
Blessings ...
Your friend ...

TRASK:

"True friends will always be there when you need them" - if they aren't there, then they can't even be called friends. -

How true this is! True friends will always be there to tell you what it is, take it or leave it.

In life, you only need one or two good friends, too many of them will cause gossips and imbalance of friendship. Some will call themselves friends to you, but they aren't really there when the time you need them most, hence you feel like you're being abandoned when circumstance arise.

Anyway...just my 2 cents worth of opinion about friends.

Hope I didn't offend anyone.

Lots of love,

Sandie May Angel :o)

Ah, so very true Trask. Many like to dish it out, but then turn their backs because they cannot take the criticism. Stay true, stay strong and always stand tall.....

Be safe,
