Hold The Presses

 Age Group: Adult

Hold The Presses
What say you to people who have passed To what extent do you speak The good, the bad, the ugly It is a wonder why we preach the way we do From these pedastals lacking self reflection Look at yourself for a moment Have you been so incredibly perfect your whole life Have you never done something wrong Have you never thrown yourself into the darkness And yet you've been forgiven somewhere along the line Forgiveness granted from those most trusted Forgiveness granted from yourself more importantly It is there that you go on to live, love, and learn Not before
So my thought then is this Why do so many people speak poorly of the dead They have crossed that final divine plane, for whatever reason Yet, it's not enough, it's never enough Why is that not bad enough Either we make people to be heroes they never were Or we have nothing good to ever say about them Where's the good, tell me Even worse yet are those with ambiguous natures sh*t happens, yes, yes it does (excuse my language) But it happens to all of us So should we be remembered only for that Should we not say that the person had a great heart That the person was so utterly emotionally charged Talented, caring, beautiful, there must be something Perhaps they faced circumstances they did not know how to handle Could not control to some extent No one is perfect, sometimes we cannot see until its too late So do we imprison them to that negativity for eternity Would you not think it was enough that they imprisoned their own life As loved ones, friends, family we hold a key that unlocks that prison Why would we not use it, honestly and truly It is so very sad I for one will always use it regardless of the consequence
And of the afterlife, do we not believe For arguments sake let us say it is unequivocally true Our loved ones do come back to us Life, whether it be on this plane or the next, is not a seance There is no WOOOOOO, come forward and speak spirit No it's not, they are there regardless Do you not think that in the moments you find yourself most thinking of that person, they are probably right there next to you Which would mean they have brought themselves closer to the earth And by doing so can see, hear, touch, smell, taste and feel So would we not then choose our words more carefully What do you think they would say if all they heard was bad I personally think they would say... OUT LOUD PEOPLE, RIGHT HERE, HELLOOOOOO
So I leave this rant with one last thought I almost died once some 12 years ago in an ugly ugly way I had drank so much, so stupidly A man stepped forward screaming at me, absolutely screaming "If you go to sleep you're gonna die, do you understand me", he said. Noel you are going to die...do you understand me...I don't care what you have to do to keep yourself awake, you had better do it...do you understand He just kept yelling it over and over again. Oddly enough it was the first time I could discern the energy around me as more than a mere feeling of knowing someone was there First I thought, hmmm crazy? I was not crazy, I wasn't I held my eyes open for 4, yes 4 hours because I did understand And he wasn't kidding I honestly believe I would have died that day, so many years ago if it were not for him If this man, who probably had a couch fused to his ass and died in the same manner had not stepped forward and said hold the presses girlie we'll not be taking this route today I would have been remembered for that sole event in my life What a horribly demeaning way to be memorialized
Well at least now I'll just be remember for being nutty In any event, there is always a point to my madness
Just a rant
