Gaslighting
https://villaday.wordpress.com/2012/03/28/impact-when-forgiveness-is-exploited/
For the last three years, I have been observing attitudes, listening to opinions and reading blogs/comments about perpetrators and their victims.
When did some Christians (of all denominations) reduce themselves to being rape apologists and protectors of rapist/pedophile’s sentiments?
When did the private and personal healing balm of forgiveness come to be used as a weapon of inducing guilt in the victim, an instrument of silencing the victim?
“He that is without sin, cast the first stone” is being used indiscriminately, over the Internet, to silence the uproar against such crimes.
Random quotes from The Bible are being bandied about, which not being in context, have resulted in negative imagery of Jesus and have made Him the butt of ridicule.
The poem that follows, comes from deep within my being, (and while not being about you or me) speaks up for the voiceless victims the world over, past, present and future.

CREATIVE
A poem is the Poet's sole Intellectual Property and each poem is poet's means of communicating a thought. Avoid 'interpreting' a poem because, interpreting is the act of super-imposing your thoughts over the message being conveyed by the poet.
I don't agree with the first 2 lines of the 4th verse of the poem. I don't know why I even wrote them.

Unfortunately, this poem, written and posted in 2014, is relevant to the atmosphere in North American Universities today.

PLEASANT MEMORIES
You bring music,
You bring humour,
Make cheerful, a normal day,
So on your first birthday as 'Nani'
While reminiscing, I say ....
All those songs you ever sang,
The stories that you told,
Unforgettable treasures,
On each one I was sold.
The Carnival Is Over
Devoted To You
Puppet On A String
To the tune you sure were true.
And that 'Emmer' story,
Could have sworn that, that was true,
And 'The Rosary Will Turn Into A Snake If You Twirl It'
Boy! what memories I have of you!
May your birthday be the happiest!
And your joys grow through the year!
May your cherished dreams turn into reality!
Happy Birthday Tinta!

Free Will
FREE WILL
(There are over 250 poems on my blog. Do read them.
Below is a link to direct access to some interesting poems.
There was this post doing the rounds on Facebook, in which a man murders his wife in front of their daughter. The post goes on to claim that ‘Jesus’ was by the little girl’s side re-assuring her. To the query, ‘Why doesn’t ‘Jesus’ prevent the murder from taking place?’ the reply was, “God does not interfere in man’s Free Will.”
Free
Will!
Whose
does prevail?
When in
opposition
For
whom, tips the scale?
Does the ‘survival of the fittest’
To ‘Free
Will’ too apply?
And if
the ‘stronger’ desires the ‘weaker one’s’ death
Will the
‘weaker’, ‘have to’ die?
Then how can it be called ‘Free Will’
For here
there is no choice
Just
imposition of another’s ‘Will’
On one
with no or feeble voice!
Am I then to understand,
To
derive from this debate,
‘Free
Will’ is to enable the stronger
To seal
the weaker one’s fate?

Fence Sitters, Pseudo Fence Sitters
FENCE SITTERS
INSPIRED BY A CHAPTER FROM A BOOK BY SHIV KHERA - YOU CAN WIN.
Thank you Mr. Khera.
BE AWARE ... BE SAFE
Ethics of convenience,
Vacillating values,
No courage of conviction,
Conformist attitudes,
See the ‘hunting with the hound’,
And the ‘running with the hare’
Of being a fence-sitter,
A person to beware.
More dangerous, however
Than the fence-sitter could ever be
Are the pseudo fence-sitters
Who excel in duplicity
Who camouflage true agenda
With contrived disinterest
While pulling the rug underfoot
Of the one who’s in distress.
A pseudo fence-sitter
What are the recognizable traits?
Inconsistent in impartiality
Empathy towards winning stakes
Ferments misconception
Insincere in nurturing accord
With the ethics of convenience
And no courage to boast off.
JACQUI
