Ego massage-message
by Alienhippy
I am sitting on my bed
Listening to the argument
Of words within my head
A TV slot, not forgot
Where in less than 60 minutes
A TRIBE of educated scholars
With their banter
Oh….. what horrors
As they ripped the very fibre
From the general public
With their quick and harsh
Debate on Questions 3
What I could see
Was gratified egos
And hate for those of other mind
Who can find the answers by not knowing?
- How do we get our country out of debt?
- Are Fathers as important as Mothers?
- Does GOD really exist?
As I watch
A young and gentle man
Not much older than my son
Is verbally attacked
His mind is hacked by long words
He probably has never heard
The tears roll down his face
I’m longing to embrace his soul and gentle spirit
But they keep hacking at it
With their puffed up opinions,
Rehearse reason,
Highbrow howling
Without wisdom
They do not listen
They beat him down
And for that last camera shot
I watch the light leave his eyes
Their job is done, they won
Their words for 60 minutes
Have been going round my head
My tears for 60 minutes
Have been spilt upon my bed
I’m reminded of their argument
How they had to have their say
I sit upon my bed
……..and I pray
and their words
melt away!
The words that remain, keep me sane ….(1 CORINTHIANS 8:1a-3)
We know that we all possess knowledge.
Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up
The man who thinks he knows something does not yet know as he ought to know
But the man who loves God is known by God.

Listening through the Loops 
The amount of times I have witnessed this kind of behaviour is unbelievable. In R.M. The Power used to go to the heads of some of those in Managerial positions and it is these types that have no real intelligence. A person that thinks they know everything does not entertain the opinion of another and cannot be taught anything new, their minds are closed and they have tunnel vision.
I saw so many talented people never getting the opportunity to get on the so called “ladder of success” and it was these people that would have made very good and fair Managers.
Let’s hope that young man carries on backing what he believes in and is not afraid to speak up in future. It is young men and women like that who make a positive difference in this World.
Love you xxxx
P.S. You’ve started me off on a tangent

Did this really happen or is it just a poem?
It reads as if it’s real. Excellent.
Hello lovely Tilly,
This really happened, it’s what always happens within me when I try to watch those TV shows that are on in the day time. My Aspie processing can’t handle all the emotion and I go into shutdown.
The young man was only about 20 and he was sharing his faith.
They ripped him to pieces and it broke my heart seeing his comfort taken from him in that way. I wrote this poem from my shutdown and it was God that helped me understand.
I have to avoid negativity, I really can’t filter it.
Love and hugs. xx 🙂
