LIFE ON TOP

i received a mail ,the other day

hello good friends of the wide world ,always liked to share my little stories
i never wanted them to feel so brazen or shocking or sad in any way
but thats how it goes as always..
a few days ago i was thinking..for the past few years i never like really left home
only for work that is,for after all i have some bills to pay for..
so i never set foot outside home only for urgent matters..as you know its never
secure to wonder a lot around town,or showing yourself a lot..there is always
the chance that you get kidnapped or threatened for all sorts of reasons
anyway ..i thought it may have gotten a little better,and sad events
like random killings around town has lessened so i thought
i would change my life a little..go out side of home ,breathe some fresh air
enjoy the sun ,as spring loomed and it was great to enjoy the sun
maybe even go near the river and sitting on some green grass
then you may feel human again,my nerves has gotten so tight
from never really seeing the sun,or breathing some fresh air
i thought i would buy some new car and nay be travel a little around here and there
sounds like great idea .i arranged a few plans for a change
i got away from home for a few days ,few trips here and there
but it was not for long ,how in the back of my mind i always
knew we were not to enjoy such luxuries......
and i was right ,only few days of change ,i seen before i received,a letter
it was a nice and clear threat,that i get kidnapped or shot ...
i should comply to what they say ,whatever,money and else..
from that time they said i should do what ever they dictate..
tell you the truth,i even laughed,for all they wanted is to take my life
but what life ..i know pretty well the definition of normal life
and it never applies to me..we were never alive for years now..
still i put some cameras around the house,thought of filing a complaints
but where..they will just ask for more money ,and maybe its then authorities who were doing that or the neighbors or friends or some from outer space ..ha ha who knows
God what misery do we live,i never really fear for my life..but i was sorry i missed the serenity of easy life i used to live,even if confined to the walls of my room most of the day
now even peace of mind i lost..wish they are quick about it..i hate to wait for long..ha ha

to live life you must know its vaule. In all of the fear and pain you see around you, you above most can see the true value of life and for the hope of change. It must start somewhere, this new thing/ this old soul and I pray for you and your's it begins today.

You live in killing and terror for so long, the human spirit always hopes it will change, but it doesn't and who can you trust to help? No one, it could be anyone writing this to you. The stress on the soul, the spirit is unfathomable! My friend, you have to be a bit flippant to mentally survive, and you are so strong to even write this in rhyme! I wish you would get out of there.
