Misery Loves Company...

The downward spiral of misery...

Misery Loves Company...

Why people allow themselves to dwell in misery
is completely beyond me,

Misery is the farthest thing,
from living free,

To add more strife to an already tough life,
to me doesn't seem to be to bright, But who am I,
I'm just a guy who likes living free in the light,

We all know misery loves company, doesn't it frustrate you
or boggle your mind, watching people invite misery into there lives,
and waste there time,

It's watching a downward spiral and cling on's jump,
on for the ride, kicking everything good in there lives aside,

Misery Loves Company, 1 becomes 2 then 2 becomes 3,
then next thing you know, it's a toilet full of misery, being
flushed down life's toilet with all that negativity,

Instead of standing around bitching and moaning,
I always pray, that one would take charge,
and get these other turds going,

This life already has enough misery to go around, and
if we keep adding to it's company, we're all going to go down,

So please don't add fuel to the misery fire,
give love, which breads hope and help to inspire...

The story of Jesus created this world of misery...
People worship someone who was tortured to death out of a deep level of pity.
It allowed a world of sadness and violent hatred to be a normality.
Satan didn't make anyone sin, they only made themselves sin out of a lack of will power.
A prayers purpose is to only put a deeper imprint of a particular thought in your head, other than that it offers you nothing else.
Stop praying and start doing.

I think you're very lost. I'm a Muslim, so I don't believe that Christ, peace and blessing be upon him, was tortured or killed; but Satan isn't your friend. In fact, an offspring of his runs through your veins like blood does, and I assure you that whatever wrong you do, he and your own self are to be blamed. Hell, I'll relate it to the poem you wrote: the reason for all of this inequality is because of him and his offspring. People think that they are better than each other, just like he was too proud to prostrate before Adam. You need to think twice before you speak, and if you get arrogant and get into defense mode, then know that he's in the pilot's seat.

So Christians can tell me my whole life that if I don't believe in their God that I will be cast into a torturous pit for eternity and I'm meant to take that kindly? Their disgusting ideals led to this fucked up place. And now this world is a reflection of hell, which is why I am here. I'm attempting make it better, you guys can keep praying in silence if you chose to. If I win this world is healed, if I lose this world will continue to be raped until it finally dies. Blind faith has had its day, good luck guys.

Well, everyone seems to be in a positive and inspirational mood today; first, Sami, then you! I love the vibe of it James. It really moved me, and they're words I'll try remembering when I'm feeling down. Thank you for sharing the love dear friend.

[Jamestown]

Thanks for checking it out and your kind review, your piece was also
really good, really good!!!

[Jamestown]

Hey friend, you realize I have nothing to do with whoever this coward is right?
This whoever left a negative review on my page and I didn't feed into the nonsense
with a response, but I can't get his review deleted for some reason! Just wanted you to know, don't
want to lose a friend over whoever's ignorance!

[Shane Mohamed]

You won't James. You're fine :)

[Paper Forks]

There's a few grammatical errors here and there. The poem is very straight forward. Being miserable is not as bad as you make it. You just need to have a different outlook in life and you could be hopeful and miserable at the same time. I think. Maybe. I don't know.

[Jamestown]

Thanks for checking it out and b-blessed!

[AaronFreitas]

I sense a lot of frustration (obviously :))
I like this imagery, quite graphic:
"Misery Loves Company, 1 becomes 2 then 2 becomes 3,
then next thing you know, it's a toilet full of misery, being
flushed down life's toilet with all that negativity,"

The next bit is a bit harsh - but I sense you are really frustrated at this point in the poem.
and then you get to the root of why this is frustrating to you:
"This life already has enough misery to go around, and
if we keep adding to it's company, we're all going to go down,

So please don't add fuel to the misery fire,
give love, which breads hope and help to inspire... "

A valid concern! It is not an easy task caring... which, I suspect, is why many people suppress that part of themselves!

[Jamestown]

I agree fully with your review, and yeah I just pray we can motivate one another
rather than and more negative energy, I'm guilty as well, thanks for checking out and b-blessed!

[Mai L Nissen]

I think we are all guilty - even of the things we dislike and see as a problem in others, difference is whether we at least TRY to do something about it, when possible... :)

[Jamestown]

Totally agree:)

[Patrick John Boker]

I love it bro . thanks for sharing

[Jamestown]

Thanks for checking it out and b-blessed!

[Double T]

I love this poem of what have written. Don't add fuel to the fire, instead only water it down. Live life through the misery of pain and get through it. It's a good theme :)

[Jamestown]

Thanks for checking it out and your review, I appreciate it:)b-blessed!

[wordman]

well james I suppose every body does not know god
and does not believe that prayer can deliver you
and bring forth that light

[Jamestown]

Yeah, I agree! Thanks for checking it out and b-blessed

[success]

misery indeed live company....well done Jamestown. I always enjoy reading your poems

[Jamestown]

Thanks for checking it out and b-blessed!

[jonah]

um I like the message you put in this poem, James. we must always try our best to stay positive. but I don't know, the tone of this poem sounds a bit...angry? I personally think everyone has their own reason to be sad and miserable and it takes different amount of time for each of them to heal. well i'm not saying that we can pity ourselves all the time. but, I think God does let us grieve for a while. maybe that way we can understand that He cares for us even in our worst shape.

[Jamestown]

I absolutely agree, I was referring to the people who seek pity day in and day out
and also the cling on's people who instead of motivate, throw fire on the misery fire,
I'm not angry at all, but I am annoyed with these types of people, I pray for them, I
want them to be happy and rid of misery, but the must try! Thanks for checking it out and b-blessed!

[Miss Sharon]

And I agree with your comment to jonah. I once had a friend who seemed to enjoy being miserable...no matter how many times I prayed for and with her and sent her encouragement from the Word of God. So....I know that is what you meant in your great poem! ~Sharon

[jonah]

yeah i can see that you're annoyed, James. haha 'angry' wasn't really the right word xD well people like that can be annoying sometimes. yes i agree. we can pray for them, but they must try too with all their might to get up and rise again. and yes, miss Sharon. i must admit that i sometimes too enjoy being miserable hahaha. but God has helped me through. He always does.

[Jamestown]

Thanks for the response, by all means I will be the first to admit I am a sinner
and let my emotions get the best of me sometimes, I've since edited the piece because
God put it on my heart to do so, but still stand firm on people need to help themselves
and one another get out of negative energy, thanks again and b-blessed!
