Humanity of Pretenders

(c) Stephanie Josiah 2014

When you think someone is better than they prove themselves to be
brush the dirt off - lick your busted lip when you get up
no shock value - humanity is filled with pretenders
and what do the pretenders do best... but pretend?

K.A.(Sighhhhhhh) LOL (c) Stephanie Josiah 2014

LOL you can tell when the word gets out
because then men don't act like men
no major loss... no catastrophe
just catching feelings in the wind


no midol needed
no excuse
just wasted brain matter
and two returned pennies for my thoughts

Truth Vs. Tolerance...

The most hated thing in the world right now... TRUTH.

The most admired... TOLERANCE.

Yet there remains... HATRED, BIGOTRY, RAPE, WAR, MOLESTATION, ABUSE, MURDER, ARSON, THEFT, CHEATING... the list goes on.

So when these evils happen to us, are we to remain TOLERANT?

What say you? And tell me the TRUTH...

... Maybe we only love the truth, and those who stand up for it, when we are the ones left bleeding?
And when those justice and truth warriors make themselves known... Standing apart in the crowd... And our wounds heal, we forget they bled for us - died to social acceptance and bit a martyr's bullet... Then we ostracize them for being "radical vigilantes"... Doesn't sound very TOLERANT to me...

What's in Your Name Quote

When someone tries to throw dirt on your name, speak falsely about you, and gather others up against you... Let them. What is in your name? Does your name tell people your heart? And are strangers worthy of explanations? And should what they think of you be of any concern when you know that you have done nothing wrong? These are questions I struggle with. But I want to personally thank every perso...n who has flicked dirt on my name. My flowers are being well fed so keep the verbal-manure and soiled-opinion-flinging coming. You only make me more wise and more beautiful.
Big shoutouts to those who have proven that they have no lives and have decided that my life is far more interesting. :). I'm flattered (c) Stephanie Josiah ♥

Exotic Flower Quote

Given the right environment and proper care... the rarest, most beautiful, and most fragile of flowers can flourish. Never dump your exotic flower seeds in the rubbish bin and expect a garden.

No Absolute Truth?

"Hold up, let me see if I understand this way of thinking: I've heard it argued that there is no absolute truth... But if the "truth" is that there is no absolute truth... How is it that you believe that... absolutely?" (c) Steph Josiah "Br()ken F()rtune C()()kie Jarg()n & Garbage Ju!ce

"One Without the Other"

One Without the Other

Rain is good / but the sun is better / but you can't have flowers / without a drop of wetter / I'm feeling heavy some days / some days light as feathers / so when the sun hides her face I say "go on and let her" / you can't have rain without a little cloud / you can't enjoy silence without a little loud / you can't enjoy heat / unless you feel the chill / and you can't serve God and still serve your will.
