<p>What might have been</p>
<p>Or what better things could be?</p>

<p>A better car, a better house,</p>

<p>Is guilt a frequent friend of yours,</p>
<p>Or regret your better half?</p>
<p>Do you live in yesterday;</p>
<p>Married to the past?</p>

<p>Why ponder things unchangeable</p>
<p>Or mull on what is done?</p>
<p>When living in the present</p>
<p>Is where you find the fun!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>**Preface: Again, as with all my musings, this is fiction, but also has a hint of truth. I believe in writing as much as thinking so it helps to write &#8217;short diddies&#8217;.  Try it&#8211; it works sometimes. This is 1/2 musing 1/2 poem&#8230;couldn&#8217;t figure out which it is more of so it gets both categories.**</p>
<p>I&#8217;m in love with the most amazing person you could ever hope to meet&#8230; and I don&#8217;t know how to stop.  But I need to.</p>
<p>By nature, I am an insomniac. This habit is proliferated by battles of depression that I have from time to time.  I can&#8217;t help it.  But I want to.</p>
<p>I just want to be loved.  Just like anyone else, right?  And I don&#8217;t know how to stop my desires to <em>feel</em> loved.  But I need to.</p>
<p>By nature, I am an affectionate person.  To the ones I love and hold dear to my heart.  It&#8217;s always been my way.  I can&#8217;t help it.  But I want to.</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t get my feelings across without them being stomped on.  I just want to be heard without interruption.  And I can&#8217;t stop crying.  But I need to.</p>
<p>By nature, I am hyper-sensitive.  I can&#8217;t control the emotions switch of my brain so the tears flow even when I don&#8217;t want them to.  I can&#8217;t help it.  But I want to.</p>
<p>I am tired of being misunderstood.  That in todays values, old love and honor is lost is a pity.  I can&#8217;t fathom ignoring my spouse.  But I need to.</p>
<p>What I need and what I want are mere manifestations of my desire to make the ones I love happy&#8230; but when my heart actually truly physically aches&#8230;who is around to make me happy?</p>

They forget you, curse you, and use you
Their faith without works, carpenter-

They forget you, curse you, and use you<br />
Their faith without works, carpenter-<br />
When did they help you win?<br />
They listened to your words<br />
But they did not care for a Jew<br />
As you were crucified.</p>
<p>They listen to my words- light;<br />
They kill, steal, lie, and turn from you.<br />
What smooth talking ways do you have?<br />
With your do&#8217;s and don&#8217;ts and trying to do right?<br />
Come on down here, Nazarene<br />
Take your children home.<br />
Do you think they&#8217;ll remember you?<br />
Not with me here to cause a scene.</p>

What do you want Angel
What do you offer me
Freedom, fame, fantasy, fun
Whimsical worlds of wealth
I am alone- abandoned, Angel
Where is that god
You bring new life
What do you care about me
What will you give me
Immortality, power, and love
What do you know of love

How does a man, a sinner, lead a crowd?
Inhumanity rising from greed.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> So many died;<br />
That so many did is inconceivable.<br />
How does a man, a sinner, lead a crowd?<br />
Inhumanity rising from greed.<br />
So many women and children<br />
What kind of new world promotes killing?<br />
A new beginning from senseless brutality?<br />
Where was God?<br />
Where was he when his people suffered?<br />
So many died;<br />
That so many did is inconceivable.<br />
How could no one see?<br />
What did God do to help?<br />
Scenes of horror.<br />
Bringing tears to the eyes of the Father.<br />
How could His creations do this?<br />
Why is it brother against brother?<br />
I see no difference between you, says He.<br />
So many died;<br />
That so many did is inconceivable.</p>
