Since the dawn of humanity,
men and women have sought immortality.
A certain drive to prolong life. Some believe
in the immortality of the soul, of rebirths on
earth as well as heavens and hells.
People live their lives as if they have forever.
They put off certain things. They tell themselves
that they will do this and that later. They will
talk to this guy or this woman later. What they
don't seem to know is that things don't always
go the way we plan.
You can be a decent man and be married to a wonderful
lady and go to work trying to earn a living when one
day your world comes crashing down. Your wife tells
you she wants a divorce. She will take your family. She
will take your house. All that you built together. You
never saw it coming. But she has initiated it. She has
been planning for a long time. You have been oblivious
to it all. That is because men operate in mostly overt
ways, and women act covertly.
Everything they do is sneaky and nothing is what it seems.
They seldom know what they want. They may claim to
want a knight in shining armor, yet they will take the first
brigand over a gentleman any day of the week. Decent men
suffer. A lot of women hook up with bad guys because
of a certain attraction and find themselves in abusive relationships.
They cultivate bitterness and fear of men in their hearts without
recognizing that it is their fault that they are in this predicament.
Not all men are jerks. She picked the jerk. One can be sure there
were decent men around but she picked the wrong one. Let her
play the card she has chosen.
Nowadays, there is so much trouble in the world.
Men are hurting other men in wars. War is old men
talking and young men ( and sometimes women) dying.
There are so many issues out there. Like Feminism.
It started out as a movement of women wanting to
promote equal rights with men. It slowly became
a rallying of hatemongers. Gender-biased hatred.
Misandry. Yet so few women realize that the movement
started out good and became anti-male and anti-family.
Oh, well. The price for misguided or misplaced loyalties
is that one ends up hurting the ones one is loved by,
and one ends up alone in the end.
I know about being alone. It is worse than death. It eats
away at you. It doesn't matter if you are man or woman.
It doesn't matter about your orientation, skin color or ideologies.
It eats you up and by the time it is done with you, death will
seem sweet.
Loneliness is the punishment wicked men and wicked women deserve.
Imprisonment is not always unpleasant enough and death brings release.
Lifelong solitary confinement for any woman or any man who has done
something heinous is the right thing to do.
Some people waste their time in foolish pursuits. They worry about
their looks. Their wealth. How others view them. Such foolish things.
Who cares what others think ? Humanity is rather thoughtless at times.
That explains everything from wars to the cosmetic industry. First get
evidence that people actually DO think before you worry about WHAT
they think of you. I assure you that not a lot of thinking gets done on
planet Earth in the average day.
Humanity has always feared what it does not understand. It started out in the
old days. It was a survival tactic. If something was different from you, chances
are it was the enemy. Now, thousands of years later, men and women are equally confused. They don't know what they want. The men want sex and a little love.
The women want sex and love too and a whole lot of other unnecessary junk that
not even they can understand. The average male will realize at some point that all
women are a little bit crazy. That's ok. Men are a little bit crazy too. That is why I respect all men and women yet can't find it within myself to trust a single one of them.
In this world, enlightened self-interest governs all. People just want to be happy.
They also want to have it all. Men and women seek to embrace each other. Many are unwilling to compromise. So many are just fighting for control. Ladies, You can't control your man by withholding sex because that will result in him leaving because you are not the only other person on Earth. No matter how good you are. No matter what relationship you are in, there will always be disputes. Men have disputes with men. Men have disputes with women. Women have disputes with women, men and the universe itself.
We kill ourselves at work to get stuff we don't need. Televisions. Computers. Clothes. Shoes. Lots of shoes. Jewelry. All these are things we will leave behind when we die. Get it through your head. We are all mortal. From the tall to the short, from the black to the Asian to the white to the mulatto. From the straight to the gay to the bisexual passing through the lesbian and the transgendered. From the christian to the Pagan to the atheist. From the existentialist to the nihilistic. From the archaic to the modern. From men to women. From Conservatives to liberals to
moderates to capitalists to communists to feminists and traditionals. All of us are but mortal.
That is what I like.
Here I am, a tall, good-looking ( I've been told) fella and I would like to think I am a
reasonably smart Haitian man and I am preaching to you what to do and yet in certain areas of my life I don't do so well. When dealing with men and women, I make mistakes. I don't always seize the day. Sometimes I act foolishly. I am not perfect. No man, woman or child who has ever lived or will ever live is or can ever be perfect. I am sorry but it does not exist. It is all a matter of comparative badness. Abide with the ones who mean most to you. Try to make the most of your life because death can come for you at any time. In that regard, I am no different from any of my fellow humans. I am different from the people I meet because of looks or orientation (bisexual) or religion (Christian). There is also the race thing (black) and the gender thing ( absolutely male). Yet I am mortal and so are you. For those of you who hate me or like me or find me annoying or those who couldn't care less, I am no more than you are.
The End.
You need to learn about sentence structure, grammar, and writing in general. Please take a long break from Literotica and learn a bit before you come back and spam us with this trash again.
Great work i must say its very heart felt and i understand alot about what you said.
A strange rendering ~ not quite a poem but one man's view of life...I found this interesting. And yes, it's true - many of us think we have forever on our side... Poignant.
