"Ignored Is My Love" (a poem I wrote recently)

Ignored Is My Love

Opening up to you,
Placing my heart in your grasp,
Firmly implanted,
Confident of your care and love,

My feelings bottled up for so long,
A weight is finally released,
Slowly floating to the clouds,
Feeling light again,

Happiness comes upon me,
Anxious to hear your response,
With a bounce in my step,
A sparkle in my eyes,

Not having felt this way in so long,
Being fearful of love,
I long for your acceptance,
Long for your love,

Not a word is uttered,
Not a sound is made,
Unaware of my heart’s standing,
As you quickly walk away,

A sadness dawns upon me,
Confusion runs rampant,
Not knowing what to think,
At the sound of silence,

Ignored are my thoughts,
Ignored are my feelings,
Ignored is my heart,
Ignored is my being,

Ignored from your life,
Pushed far away,
Whether out of fear or being “nice,”
I’m ignored all the same.

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

Trump's Lie Tally at the CNN Debate

1) "We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. We had never done so well. Every – everybody was amazed by it. Other countries were copying us." 2) "But the thing we never got the credit for, and we should have, is getting us out of that COVID mess." 3) "The only jobs he created are for illegal immigrants and bounceback jobs; they’re bounced back from the COVID." 4) "Not going to drive them higher. It’s just going to cause countries that have been ripping us off for years, like China and many others, in all fairness to China – it’s going to just force them to pay us a lot of money, reduce our deficit tremendously, and give us a lot of power for other things." (tariffs) 5) "He also said he inherited 9 percent inflation." 6) "No, he inherited almost no inflation and it stayed that way for 14 months. And then it blew up under his leadership, because they spent money like a bunch of people that didn’t know what t...
