Shadow Of Doubt

Biased figures manipulate opportunities Power has reigned since the dawn of time Spitting rhetoric laced with dry ambiguities False sincerity acted out in full pantomime Dreams are aborted before even catching breath Harsh reality of being worked and taxed to death Programmed from a young...

  This post, at first blush, leaves me with what to disagree with. After a second read, and seeing the layers underneath, it is powerful and insists that one consider it on the deeper level. Many thanks and blessings. <3 Echo

  Fist in the air, I’m over here going “Yeah! And…yeah!” All the way through this one. I remember this one & I’m glad she followed you over. Some truths should never fade into darkness. Favorite line:

  Totally agree…
  We got a shitstorm of rhetoric and meaningless ambiguity to wade through. I remember the term “Double Speak” from Orwell’s 1984. So legitimate. The dude had the future pegged.
  
  What we need round here is another Nostradamus and some hymnals.
  
  Great write

  Thanks, Adira. It feels great to be free, at least for a while.

  You know, in my class we’d spin the bottle, and the teacher wasn’t invited. I’m so glad you’re in there doing the spinning. It’s obvious that you make learning fun. (I’m not saying we didn’t have fun learning, but it wasn’t on the curriculum.)
  
  Have fun in your new life! You’ve earned it.

    If it was Van Halen’s Hot for Teacher, the teacher might have been invited to Spin the Bottle (old video but still fun, I think anyway).
    
    Thanks for the good wishes on my new life. While web surfing I stumbled upon a school I might actually like. Going to apply. Can always turn it down.

  This is a great read.
  I wish I had teachers like you who gave a damn about her students. I’ve had ADD my whole life. I outgrew it for years but now as a geezer it’s returning…. which sucks.
  I skim everything but I read every word here…
  
  Best of luck going forward.
  I’m thinking of retiring but the thought of it makes me kinda want to puke. I’m old enough to retire but I’m not done yet.
  Need a new career not so much for the money but more for identity..
  
  BIG LIKE

    Thank you PS. I get the retirement struggle. Even if I could afford to retire at this point, I know I would feel lost. Like you, I feel I have more to give. And structure is necessary for ADDs like us. I’m just hoping to find a new gig that’s not as stressful. Hope you find what you’re looking for too.

  You are really really good, Reggie. I love the fact that you’re driven towards formal poetry. That’s a challenge to write which few of us venture to take. You make it seem natural and second nature with your wit and humor. I appreciate the pirate vernacular as well. Fun read! Fab subject matter.
  
  Those naughty pirates!

  Thank you so much! Indeed I love the challenge of old school meter and rhyme.

  My ride is the most unreliable vehicle on Consumer’s Digest multiple years running – A Jeep.
  I’ll get another one.
  I like your poem, though. I never thought about how much a guy’s car is a reflection of his penis. Thanks for that.
