i redistort their distorted opinion – dealing with the VA

sitting here with 4 other Veterans and myself being a fifth
Veterans Writing Workshop taking twists and turns as our minds burn
with memories of the past and new ones too
and the stimulation of the questions from our fearless leader
Leilani speaks it into existence
something to do with our downplaying of the Nobel Piece prize winner’s poetry
very awesome poetry… we ponder, and spill truths on the table
ooops, some of it fell to the floor
all of it was heard , and available to grab some more
from different experiences we come
and different processes we use to interpret that which was orated
that which was orated now in our minds of experiences
different for all
different for the crawl of thoughts to sprints of lots had and not in the relationship to the writing
the culture then and now, and how much of our person, if any experiences any of the culture from the written ideas as if we see the pen moving fluently across the paper, and the thoughts streaming from the mind of the poet to the pen to the paper, and here it is now being reiterated to this page with the prompts from Harvey and Rick
was this then a forgotten ability – that sometimes i have forgotten because my hands not practicing what my mind was thinking and processing to the very screen U look at now
my practice of re-distorting the distortion of the VA’s denial and their process of taking forever to give help to the Veterans who need help. which to me means that i bring the reality to what was supposed but was not reality as being the reasons without reasoning of their denial of them helping me in the first place. so distorted i know, when recondite minds come to unwind the depth of lack of thought and reasoning that it took to deny me in the first place, because the realities of my service experiences were easily too shoved under the rug – for lack of hugs and appreciation of the true integrity given to the principles of our nation – that is Democracy for all – and who up for the fall if need be was too me!
so to my appreciation i say in my fall apart for this and the many days before today, and i don’t know if it will be a part of all the days before me
but i am here, today, i planned to be here earlier, in hopes to do my “homework” that i again did not do – the instability , negativity, depressive disorder lending itself to the chaos of PTSD or maybe it is the opposite, while i recognized – i indeed have seen all of the list that Adam read from the million Veteran survey that they were looking to find information today so that they can hopefully address the difficulties we have
we Veterans today, from those just back, coming back, and been back. i thank personally My Vietnam Veterans who have made the impact needed to give us a different outcome, a different response for the help that we need. Sure, it may still be dismissed, and more and more, it is recognized for what it is rather than dismissed.
i forgot my abilities to be superman
i don’t know if i ever had them
i forgot my abilities to be god
i don’t know if i ever had them
i forgot my abilities to be loving
i know i had these, and apparently they are being used much much less than ever before
perhaps it is in the wisdom that should i do so, i might make myself vulnerable to again be used, abused, and the murdering of my soul
did i forget this, or is mr. cynical again on point
the front lines of this war waged against me
and for some part of it, perhaps it is that the enemy is me
when it is me stuck in all this negativity
yes, speak i do for U and others the positive light rays of today and always
need to re-distort the distortions not only of the VA, but the vile demons not in my soul
surrounding me though they do – so i have to come with true
the writing style that brings once again smiles for the time that i never had and want again
the time that still eludes me to the memories and ever present stimuli that wants to take out my eyes
and me for trying to find a therapy, or therapies that work
and this, the writing, is one that happens week after week
we do this until we speak into existence – something that works if only for the moments that we meet and do this ! Veterans Writing Workshop
peace and love from me to thee – all
