It is not yet popular, but entirely possible, to defend oneself from ones enemies while continuing in a state of inner forgiveness.

*****

biggest little question

there are a few things about which
there is no question

and there are many things
about which there are

there is no question
whatsoever that some will

burn stone hang you
on that cross for

less than nothing
the less so, in fact, the more so

if you know what i mean
an’ if you don’t yet

you will
don’t worry

what is indeed actually importantly
up to the last

wild moment
unknown

will be whether after
commenting, perfectly

permissible
hey

you guys pro’ly shouldn’t
be doin this stuff

to just
other people

you
remember

to
forgive them

whether you
know even then

that you yourself
have certainly been

at some point in your past
just this

blind
belligerent

self disconnected
stupid

and bless
them any

way

Until removal of the stalker/targeter/vandal/arsonist following her allows her to approach any landlord ~ even for a private parking space ~ and to begin once again to create professional connections and to rebuild her life, this poet presently lives homeless and at a fraction of her nation’s poverty level ~ still working to contribute to her society, however, seven days a week.

Arts patrons may visit http://www.UgiftABLE.com , using code #72D-31S. It does take several days for the poet to be notified of your patronage.

Thank you for supporting quality in the fine arts.
