The Five stages of Grief:
denial,
anger,
bargaining,
depression,
(and, finally,) acceptance.
“You are what you continue to do.”
Aristotle

It’s all over,
But I don’t want,… “it.”
She keeps looking over at me,
Yet the instance
Does not seem to
Truly taunt me.
Beauty-struck eyes,
Perfectly dropped-cut shirt
With lace.
I’m sitting here
With no intention;
Her whole life
Encumbered by gawking men’s stares,
And all I can really laugh
To say is,
“Congratulations
About your face.”

“Whoever wants music instead of noise, joy instead of pleasure, soul instead of gold, creative work instead of business, passion instead of foolery, finds no home in this trivial world of ours.”
Hermann Hesse
“Therefore faint not, nor be weary in well-doing! Be not discouraged at men’s apathy, nor disgusted with their follies, nor tired of their indifference! Care not for returns and results; but see only what there is to do, and do it, leaning the results to God! Soldier of the Cross! Good Knight and True ! be patient and work !”

I love how people call them, “Leaders”!
Chip Van Hassel
Grab your collar and leash, populous, and paw at the door to have a politician take you all for a walk!
More pitiful than a man tethered to a canine whilst it poops is the common man, paying the more fortunate to steal from him!
The World is at a Loss!
Debating words
Are as contrite as spite.
You bark
Smart as a dog.
Your toothless battle
Gums up the fight.
Your laws
Are the claws
That scratch and tear.
The flaws
Of your balls
Snatch the cradle bare.
Sometimes, when you look
Nobody is there.
You do not like people to stare.
Realize that everybody
Is running around
in their underwear!
“I have to take a Republican and then wipe my Democrat!“


The evil that propels people intrinsically bequeaths them to blame others, (or feel jealousy,) for short comings which they fluidly fabricate.
Chip Van Hassel
This, “evil,” (this lower level of existence,) is a common human paradigm which compels a man to feel inferior to another man, then, aggressively, physically act-out as a result of such fluid, self-creating assertion.
“Many, many men
have been just as troubled
morally and spiritually
as you are right now.”
“You’re not the first person
J.D. Salinger
who was ever confused
and frightened
and even sickened
by human behavior.
You’re by no means alone
on that score.
Many, many men
have been just as troubled
morally and spiritually
as you are right now.
Happily, some of them
kept records of their troubles.
You’ll learn from them—
if you want to.
Just as someday,
if you have something to offer,
someone will learn
something from you.
It’s a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn’t education.
It is history.
It is poetry.”
A “Transitional Person is:
“A person who breaks unhealthy, harmful, abusive or unfortunate learned behaviors and replaces them with proactive, helpful, effective behaviors. This person models positive behaviors and passes on effective habits that strengthen and build others in positive ways.”
