I hear a gentle knocking
A tapping so slight
A rapping so light
A whisper in the silent night

I hear a sudden rocking
A creaking of distant doors
Out of the homes, Out of the stores
First it rains, and then it pours

I hear a feverish flocking
As the silence is broken
Bitter words are spoken
And old wounds are open

Now this city burns
Down, down to the ground
My gun makes a sound
And now I hear nothing

I hate that you're so hard on yourself
It hurts me to see you so down
Because I've got you placed so high
On a pedestal wearing a crown

I want so bad to keep you there
But i know you hate when I try
To build you back up after such a fall
You wish I wouldn't try at all

But know this, I'll keep doing it
Because I know you deserve
All of these things and everything
But these words you've never heard

I believe in you
And everything you're going to do
So listen up, and take a chance
Because you deserve to

Put yourself out there and take your stand
Stop walking on eggshells
Your approach has become bland
What happened to the greatness?

What happened to the greatness I saw in you?



- Carrot

I remember so clearly
The morning was early
The day that everything changed

Your eyes were swollen
Your heart was broken
You wished it could stay the same

You hated me and the things I said
To try and help you out of bed
But the simple reality remained

You knew that he loved you
And the feelings were true
But you couldn't keep living that way

It hurt so much when it all came down
And your broken marriage was all around
It hurt when you moved away

But what I remember most
Was to be loved by both
The best parents a girl could ever have

And the days were dark for him
His expression was grim
Until you moved home that day

Freedom's Calling (Prelude)

Just as the Chenney Texas Indictment, the Bush rape case, The S&L scandal, Contra, etc...., Not to mention Rove's dwindling witness list-(vote fraud)....Prescott's dealings with Nazi Germany (WWII). Connies "gifts" , No Bid Contracts all through the Administration, Bailouts, Missing Gold, Files, Ship-full of Palleted $100 Bills, Missing trillions from Pentagon, Preemptive War (over 500 Lies just up to the Iraq Invasion...

You would think it was Ford and Nixon, Lincoln & Johnson, Kennedy and the other Johnson, OPEC, Dubai, Torture Island, Military Tribunals, Bin Laden - (deceased but still a threat), the 3 steel structures that all fell the same day, the only three to ever fall period.

Her Majesty, Blair, Wire taps, Pocket Justices "Appointing" 43...Bush-Kerry, 322..., Gore and his Opus of Global Warming Nobel fame..(A.K.A. Consollation Prize), Reagan Assasination attempt...I can only say, good thing it failed...as did the Bush-Hinkley Dinner celebration...and on and on....

I am really only trying to say that, IMHO, They will never set foot in any court room, even if it defies Subpoenas.

Just another innovative way to transfer the Fear propaganda to the hope and change slight of hand to once again defuse any thought the sheeple may contemplate regarding civil revolt.

Next week, it will be more financial drama and Treasury empowerment to scrape the crumbs so that default swaps and derrivative instruments will seize what value is left in our corrosive Republic, until not one fiber of a FED reserve note be left for the soon to be nomadic or FEMA held populus.

BHO ruffling China's feathers, Destroyers in seas off of China and we'll see more bomb impact craters than the ever increasing chuck holes along the roads of our infrastructure.

A few innoculations and chemtrails with a parsely garnish, will complete the NWO's (or Dracs, Nephelim, Vatican, Rothchild-Rockefeller, Scherf(f), Bilderbergers, Jesuits, Blue Bloods, Gods, -what-have-you-) plan to complete the take over, prior to our enlightenment by attrition.

I salute all and depart with these words...
In the next spiritual acsention of our dimmensional place at the bottom of the compost pile of

red, blue, pink, as they take the second amendment, then our guns from our cold, dead hands, will we finally find freedom?


Freedom's Calling

Freedom, it's not just another word
It changes all over the world.
Good times are coming, not just another day
This is how we have to stay

Nobody takes it away
The world is full of emotion
This is the right of our birth
Spinning around in this
Little Ball we call earth.

People, We've got to take control
We have got to find the solution
Wake up. Put up a fight
There's so much political polution.

Nobody takes it away
The world is full of emotion
This is the right of our birth
Spinning around in this
Little Ball we call earth.

So hold on.
Freedom's calling.

The birds flocked together, leaving the trees
When the thunder threatened to tear the sky
And rolled like a bowling ball with a strike
Of Lightening, that would put dear god to shame

And then came the rain, to wash it all away
While the gorgeous sun went to hide
Tucked away in comfort behind the black clouds
That brought sadness, despair and blame

She shuddered as the sky turned to black
The delicate flower garden perished
While the winds destroyed their bed
But the sun would come again

The nights were long, lonely and cold
But then the sun came out one day
To reassure her that all would be fine
And be back to normal one day

Searching for faces
In all the wrong places
And answers to questions
I haven't yet asked

Looking for stability
Support and continuity
Fulfillment of self
That I thought I once had

Listening for voices
Helping me make my choices
With decisions to last
A lifetime I'm not ready for

Searching for something
Looking for anything
Listening for guidance
Alone in the Silence



- Carrot

Balanced on the edge of a knife
In the chest, bleeding profusely
Sweating up a storm not normal
Is an illusion not reality anyway
What's the deal with this planet

Walking in the edge of a canyon
Grand is a beautiful place to see
The world around you and weep
Like a little girl punched by bully
Someone else will make up for it

Running away from the life edge
My way past the liars and criers
Make me sick with their miseries
Love company so you well come
And join the party of foolishness

Those that handle investments
Should invest in some breath mints
Because everything out of their mouths is crap

I recently invested in a safe
A one hundred and fifty dollar safe
Makes me feel safer than a trillion dollar bail out

The best bail out I think
While still maintaining my citizenship
Is to move at all speed to a lovely Hawaiin Island

I remember 16, sitting in your white car
I would have done anything for you
But I was young, and you weren't, you were looking for fun
And so instead, this dance begun

You avoid the subject, of course, again
Just as you always have since I was young
I'll smile, I'll nod, you know that I'll play the part
Pretend I'm naiive, and that you haven't fractured my heart

If ever in our history, an opportunity for truth has come
The time is now, look at what you've become
This hasbeen, this jack #, this man made of steel?
I'm not buying what you're selling, to me you're not real

I thought that I knew you, and in reality 6 years is forever
This pursuit as of late, you're most recent endeavor
Is growing tiresome, and I'm starting to get bored
When I told Mother dearest, even she was floored

This behavior from you is getting so old
You think I'll still dance? Hit "play" if you're so bold
I'll challenge your motives, with proof of your lies
You're the little boy, this time Wolf, you have cried

Everyone told me you were full of class
That if I walked away from you, I'd be kicking my own #
But truth follows through the grape vine
So I'll pick the ripe grapes, and drink the fine wine

But the best part is, this finale of disclosure, will surely be fun
Because the song is now over, and this dance is done
I'm done dancing for you.


- Carrot

In a moment such as this
I don't know what to say
Instead I'll close my eyes
And hope you walk away

Because waiting for my reply
Will be like waiting for a December sun
To melt the snow and Ice
You'll be waiting for summer to come

And if I open my eyes
I'll surely hit the ground
This affect you have on me
Has got me completely tied down

Please spare me a moment of weakness
So I don't have to bare my soul
Let the moment pass me by
This is the me, I'm not ready to show

Don't finish the thought you're thinking
Don't even entertain the thoughts in your head
Close your eyes too, and wait for me
Let me say it first, instead



- Carrot

Carrot I do love your poetry. Always so heartfelt and well written. Thanks for sharing all of it.

Rush

"Always look people in the eye
But it's not polite to stare
Extend your hand in courtesy
Open doors, and always play fair

Question everything you hear
And most of what you see
Take nothing at face value daughter
Be all that you can be

Be sure to never settle
For less then what you're worth
Always top of the line sweet child
Maybe one, will be good enough

You're to young to fight for this
Too young to lose yourself
Go to school, learn all you can
Read the books that grace your shelf

Wherever you are, know that I'll be there
In an instant if you ever need me
Because you are my little girl
And you're everything to me

And if you can't sleep or need to cry
Pick up the phone, regardless of time
Because time is a captor, and we are not slaves
We were born free, and will be until the grave

And one day when I leave this place
Don't be sad, or cry for me
Instead remember the thing's I've said
And continue to remember me"

Do you ever wonder at what point you got me wrong?
Was it when i started speaking or was it when that fat lady sang that song.
I'm not sure you can even tell me, you probably dont even know,
It's not about ME really, It's more about the seeds YOU sow.

The world you painted for me, disolved before my eyes.
The pretty picture morphed into a veil for lies.
The point were you actually failed was when you underestimated me,
You didn't know just how far i'd go to fight for what i believe should be
.
Sadly for you that time began when i had just learned to spell
Converstions you didn't think i knew, twas more fun for me not to tell.
People say i act all scared, like in an over the top kind of way,
to be honest i thought it normal, but its you who got me that way.
I'll tell you something else you taught me, one thing that you never knew,
You see, whilst you were second guessing me, i was triple guessing you!

These two lines, I think are awesome and I loved the visual when I read it.

Thank you for your comments I really enjoyed your poem as well!

I'll remember
the little brown girl
with kind eyes.
when it comes time
I won't blame you.
I'll drive the desert road
and smell pinion, juniper
and sage.
I won't blame you,
instead I'll remember
our bodies raw
with love and
how you gave me
your song and
I'll remember you
who made me laugh
again.
The little brown girl
with kind eyes.

It seems I have lost a friend
Making my mind bend
As I don't understand what I did

My heart is empty and black
I have a tough time with loss
Prefer to be yelled at than ignored

I didn't realize I was so abhored
If I did something wrong, I'm sorry
That's the end of my story

I have no story
I don't know what I did or didn't do
So ignore me if it helps you

It hurts me and always will
That's how I'm put together
Tell me what I did and put this to rest

I'm not perfect but I do my best
This is the last place I thought I'd be judged
Whatever, tell me what it is

Just let me move on
