Harsh truths that indicate cultural decline.

If you paid 80,000 dollars

Just to make 45,000 dollars a year,

You shouldn’t have to pay more just to keep that job.

If your problems

Don’t mean a thing,

Then this is the problem.

Because empathy is the most important part

Of human relationships,

and

If this is a real thing,

People should be in business for themselves.

Especially when businesses hire

One person to do two people’s jobs.

Don’t know what to say here.

Body Positivity is just letting yourself

Get fat.

If you naturally are fat,

There’s nothing wrong with this.

Some people are just fat.

It’s actually more healthy for them.

Appearance shouldn’t matter.

And the cold hard fact that it does,

Is a reason there are problems in our society.

Some people are just poor.

They can’t afford nice clothes.

They can’t afford nice watches.

They are required to have these in order to eat?

Sounds pretty suspicious to me.

Yeah, friends shouldn’t flake.

But real friends

Will still be your friend

Even if you flake.

Some people are just flakes.

And you need to just treat them better.

Sounds like a nation of superficial relationships.

No one will

Appreciate your sacrifices?

Well…

nuff said.

It’s called decadence.

It’s called egocentricity.

It’s called corruption
At the individual level.

It’s not Governments’ fault this exists.

So,

Conspiracy theorists,

Here’s your sign.

You are defined by your own personal choices.

But if you’ve made amends for them,

There should be a way to overcome them.

“If your partner takes you for granted,

It’s because you left them.”

If a thief stole every last cent you earned,

It’s because you left them.

Morally defined,

Make sure you strap a good gun to your belt,

And have good aim

If you ever want this kind of thing to continue.

Just give up everything! for a good life somewhere else

Without the people you’ve grown up with.

It’s true that there is always someone better than you.

I don’t want to be the center of the Universe.

Maybe that’s my biggest problem.

And the rest of these so called “Harsh Truths”

Are the answer for the rest of this.

Quality ends up at your desk,

It takes you 3 months to reply…

You probably have too much of a work load.

Put that poor writer to work doing

The half of it you should have.

They used to call this

“Time and a Half”

Back when workers had rights.

LOL! And workers who show up

Every day

Need to be respected and honored.

It’s a fact…

A happy workforce,

Means a happy customer,

Which means a good product sale.

Actually, relationships

Are

The whole key to happiness.

You just have to define it.

Or, you can be like

The flakes flaking on flakes, who flaked because you flaked, but you never really

Had any friends but just

Snowflakes flaking to flake.

So, I was looking through this

And it seemed alright at first.

Then there were some things said.

First off… it’s just wrong.

Love is not a mechanism for pleasure.

It is a mechanism for survival.

Survival of the species.

Survival of your own children.

Survival of yourself, because it helps you become financially stable.

It says some things that are just wrong.

“Don’t be jealous.” We often forget just how important our spouse is.

Our very survival depends on them.

Our very life depends on them.

When you enter into a marriage contract

You are surrendering your autonomy

And your own self ownership.

You are now giving someone else

A piece of your own life.

To call it abusive to want to be with your partner

Shows a lack of understanding what abuse is.

This behavior occurs when the other partner is narcissistic

And abusive themselves.

The other fact is, of course, introversion.

Some people are comfortable around less people

And they cling to someone as a safety net.

They need this safety net

Because it is as cohesive a bond as a mother

Brother or sister or father.

To dissolve that bond

Or to inhibit it from being created

Is what the problem is in American culture.

Nobody can create solid

Cohesive family units

Because we surrender our communal nature

For independence.

This is why I scratch my head.

As the physicists say,

“It’s not even wrong.”

This is talking about addition

When the topic is not even about math.

This is talking about chemistry

When you’re trying to have a conversation about religion.

It’s so out of the norm for me

To understand that, yes, there are people who are abusive.

But, abuse, in my experience, is two ways.

There is no innocent party in a relationship

Most of the times.

Unless there is some kind of physical altrication

Emotional abuse

Is occurring from both parties,

Not just one.

And the reason for this is because

The fidelity of trust has been dissolved.

And when you are married,

That is locked into a lifetime contract with someone

It is imperative

For your kid’s sake

Your sake

Your other family member’s sake

That you fix it

Any way you can.

That might mean getting religion.

That might mean stop drinking alcohol.

That might mean quitting your job.

That might mean spending a lot of time with someone.

Families and relationships should occupy most of our time

As human beings. Not work. Not play. Not anything else.

Romantic relationships are far more important than even children.

And the reason why is because the romance

Is what creates the happy environment for the children.

When you sidestep this very real thing;—

When there is emotional neglect on the half of one party

Or smothering on the other—

They usually work in tandem—

This, if the parties are married

Must be overcome.

And usually, the one in the relationship who seems needy

They are the one who ought to be appeased.

Because they are usually the more emotionally mature person

In the relationship.

Because selfishness is a trait of emotional immaturity.

And pandering to it, when someone feels the need to smother

They recognize the availability of their partner

To others, and the risk of losing them

Because it exists.

Of course, there are examples where smothering is wrong.

And of course there are exceptions to every rule.

But my experience is that “Emotional Abuse” is two ways.

It’s a give and take, as much as the good is.

Which is why you can’t say one partner is bad

And the other is good.

It’s six to twelve, half a dozen the other.

Normally it means one partner is invested,

And the other isn’t.

And when this occurs, it’s evidence of that

One partner is less interested.

In dating relationships, it is probably best that

The relationship end.

In marriage, it’s important that the selfish partner

Comes closer to the one in need.

And that needy partner does not leave

Because they need…

Communication often will happen

When you’re at your wit’s end.

The time you are ready to give up

On a relationship

That might just be the day

That your relationship can be healed

If you’re married.

And relationships are work.

All things in life worth attaining are.

And if we don’t realize this

It’s going to continue this cycle we’ve seen

Of divorce and unhappy families.

How can you still have so much respect

After all the crap I pulled?

My own family thinks I’m some kind of retard

And you think I’m a hero?

I say, love doesn’t fade…

But as the poem I wrote about Jeroboam and Hannai

Shows, love that cannot be expressed

Wells up into the

Perfect form of hatred.

Please, though we must part

Love me from afar like I do you.

You will find all of that hate go away

And I cannot help it that Satan lies.

Dear,
Pro Choice

It’s not about when the Fetus has a heartbeat.
It’s not about cells or science.
It’s not about science at all.
It’s about humanity.

An assumption that a man or woman
Will have a bad life because XYZ
Is not a moral argument.
An assumption made about a man or woman
Wanting a life without another human being
That is the moral argument.

You don’t want someone in your life.
You had sex, you got pregnant.
Now you do not want that person
In your life.
You made them.
But you don’t want them in your life.
A baby. Future, past, present.
You don’t want them in your life.

You can say the same about birth control.
But there is a big difference.
Conception means there WILL be a child.
Unless nature says otherwise.

Sex means there MAY be a child.
Unless nature says otherwise.

Will and may are two different words.
Two different moralities.
You will die if you jump off of a bridge into jagged rocks.
You may die, if you drive a car.

You will die if you’re in a fatal accident.

In the end, you don’t like elephants being poached.
Because it is not nature.
But you suffer a child to be born
To die.

Mock me… you will. But your argument has been defeated.
Because morals exist
They are observed
And you
To rub it in,
Just call it what it is.

Modern Baal worship.

Red Clay, you are not Jerusalem.

You are Ephraim.

Jerusalem is a false prophet.

You are a true prophet.

The peoples hate you

Though you speak the truth in your heart.

Now, depart from sin,

Or shall I, like Israel

Teach you to abandon your idols?

Yet, Jerusalem, I hope you are saved

Oh false shepherd.

With the withered arm

And broken eye.

I saw you in your mischief.

LORD! Help your servant Israel!

He has fallen in vanity

And in his shame!

He cannot get up without Your help!

LORD abide by him, through all troubles

And help his soul find pasture by the still waters.

LORD, bring him no shame

But bring him the cup of salvation

And let the springs of mercy well up in his soul.

LORD, how long shall they kill the prophets?

How long shall they make a name for themselves

In vanity?

LORD, I had sinned, but not unto death.

I do not deserve this punishment

Yet they lay it upon my head

All of the sins of the Heathen

Which I had not saved

Nor given commandment to save.

LORD, how long shall they speak in vanity?

Had I not performed my vows unto the congregations of the good?

Had I not gone down into the grave

And rose, and yet what is this nation unto me?

It is a nation of chaff who drew close with its lips

But as for service, it had not given me even the slightest drink

Of sweetness.

It, as its greatest work, had sounded a trumpet

Before me, with pomp and splendor,

Only to not find me.

He had only searched, LORD

Because I had searched.

Yes, he had suggested it

But had I not gone with him

He would have been like a duck

Wandering around a lake

Not knowing to which its bread came.

No, LORD, for I came

And found You.

There You were, with Your little bag

Which the Prophet had provided you with

And your good foods.

Yet, with great splendor this nation

Haughtily presented You with delicacies.

You took a little, but only enough.

The prophet saw with your little bag

The provisions he had spent.

LORD! Where has this nation gone?

They do a work, but do so with pomp and splendor

To sound the trumpets and declare, “I have done this good!

“Look upon me, as I walk with my chalice in my hand

“And my splendid array of delicacies!”

Had he not just given the man a shekel?

Would it not be a greater sacrifice?

So if he buys a little wine for his stomach?

What is it to you, oh foolish nation?
