Incapable Of It As Is To Receive



When people can not accept,
Respect, sincerity with peace given to receive.
As if this to do,
They are incapable to believe...
Many have achieved this kept to keep,
Cherished to value.
And determined to protect and defend,
What for them has been accomplished.
To feel blessed with this to prioritize.
Folks with faith are wise to pray,
On a daily basis.

Acknowledging to realize,
Nothing else is more important to treasure!?

And...
It should not come to anyone's surprise,
That people who have found a quality of life...
Like this to live.
Are not quick to be disrespected.
Or thought weak to bully or...
Sitting with wishes to be picked,
As if to have won a door prize to be victimized
No!

With a doing to discover,
Misdeeds done to others not to know...
Is not advisable to those,
Beset and visited...
By illnesses felt from head to toe.
And mental instabilities,
Slowly showing to grow.
Incapable of it as is to receive.
With nowhere to go these days but crazed!

Recognizing this,
With opened eyes wide to witness.
Should be proof and evidence enough to stop,
Messing with people just to test...
A reaction one can never guess,
What kind of ammunition they've got.
From where it comes or how and when...
Without it to mention.
Or a response to expect it given.

These are not those times or the days,
To anticipate a return of stupidity.
Just for an attention to get!
These days of our lives to live,
Are mysteriously weaponized.
By 'Spirit Guides'.
And other means of surprising interventions!
These are not the times to pretend,
Insults intended are a result...
Of color blindness.
Then claim an unawareness of it.
Yet obviously directed,
To the ones of ethnic origin!

'I wouldn't be so quick to be so stupid!'

'Excuse me?
You don't know me!'

'Exactly!
However...
Your actions speak louder than words heard!
And your premeditated moves,
Are skilled as if rehearsed to perfection.'

'OH yeah?
And what is that suppose to mean?'

'Like you,
I have no clue.
But I'm willing to bet,
I'll have no regret for a lesson to learn it!'

'Where you coming from?'

'That...
I wish I knew.
But...
I can tell you where I'm going.
To leave you left behind.'

'Do it!'

'Done!
Good luck with your endeavors.'

'Fool.'

'Thank you for the compliment.'

    this is kind of hard to read but still interesting and good message (i think? it is in places difficult to comprehend altogether but i tried).

    "the fool has said in his heart there is no god" or said another way, people walk on and on thinking useless thoughts that do not help them or others. what helps? you will know (get wisdom, get understanding). wisdom does not go on and on, but stops too.
