Presenting Theater Meant

Presenting theater meant.
For the purpose to fill seats,
Full to capacity.
Leaving no standing room,
To allow fiction to start it...
Consumed to delude,
Minds prepared to escape a reality.
And any truth to refuse...
To accept over being...

Minor Whiners

Once minor whiners given time,
Climbing up a vine.
Slowly getting,
Attention doing this.
Few who listen to their nonsense,
Can not resist.

Those minor whiners,
Mentally unfit.
Are soon the ones endorsed,
As leaders people pick.
To sit...

Stung Stunned

I'm left to feel,
Stung stunned.
Stung stunned.
I'm left to be stung stunned.
And unaware it would come.

No idea I had,
You felt for me the way you did.
When first we met.
To say immediately,
From head to toe.
You knew I was catch.
And...

Seldom Is It Not Always

Seldom is it not always.
Found to find another way,
To say and do...
A few things to choose,
What one wishes to want.
Without being stubborn.
Or refuse to remove,
An attitude determined to use.
In the belief this keeps,
That which is...

Forgiving To Remember It

Forgiving to remember it,
When and where done to do?
Is easier than forgetting,
Who and why a forgiveness given...
Stays to remain unforgotten.
Trying to erase from one's mind,
A doing to forgive 'and' forget...
Everytime,
That same...

Hi, Edwin...your comments remind me of what I use to experience on another poetry website. Now, today? I make sure what I write is done. Then close out my submission to Poetry.com. I've also changed my password a few times as well.

I lived on Perrin Beital Road. Between 410 and 1604. The bigger loop surrounding San Antonio. Back in the 80s.

Hi Edwin. Don't allow your creative process prevent to stop what this 'force' chooses you to do. Through your poetic revelations. Edwin? You and I both have been blessed with a gift. Know this.

Hi, EdwinRayTanguma. I appreciate your comments on 'What Is Meant To Intend'. Since as a writer, I am not swayed by religious or political beliefs others may or may not have. I can only admit being aware and conscious of current events. Events that should to all us conscious, be serious about how humanity is affected by them. I am a writer. Powerless to offer remedies or solutions. I comment on what I observe and see from my perspective. Whether or not my point of view is accepted. Like those who may read my submissions to Poetry.com...living in an environment with problems existing.
This permits and provides me with incentive. And, I do the best I can to respect beliefs that are not my own to attempt to influence anyone. However, I do encourage thinking as a process that, hopefully, promotes understanding. Thanks again. Lawrence

Hi. So much I thank you for your comments. It seems that many refuse to see or accept to believe the severity of these times we live. Too much it is assumed. That these occurrences are isolated events. They are not. Especially when we live in a country in which 'children' can obtain and use weapons creating havoc and violence on the streets where we live. As if this increasing madness of sadness is a sign of how sick this craze has become to be normalized! Thank you, once again, alanswansea18. Your comments I appreciate very much. Lawrence

Hi Nebula. I like ur name. Thank you for ur comments. I have been writing in several forms & different formats, mostly to do to place more emphasis on my chosen topic. Some get 'it'. Some 'don't'. That you 'did' amazes me. These days, many take their faith and religious belief with the same feeling as if shopping at a mall to catch a bargain. And then to thank God! Thanks again. Have a great day. Peace/Blessings, Lawrence
