Advice

Advice for older people to help with their memory loss



Aww Shit I have forgotten!

Forms

They inform and reform and perform for you
They tell you who and how and what to be
For we who believed and for we who noticed
are left behind in a fug of confusion

They tell you who and how and what to be
demanding the shape and size and contours
are left behind in a fug of confusion
Now show ourselves at last to the nation

Demanding the shape and size and contours
delivers to others a sense of comfort as we
now show ourselves at last to the nation
kicking aside the twisted minds.

Delivers to others a sense of comfort
A sense of their self as they imagine in their eyes
kicking aside the twisted minds
That leaves them to cajole and rock in subjugation.

A sense of their self as they imagine in their eyes
is nothing but a child's view of itself
that leaves them to cajole and rock
as they take YOU, your fat, your ugliness to heart.

Bereft of control (over a tree root)

There is no reason
no purpose
no sense.
Only foolishness
a feeling of rage
of intensity
of loss.

There is no reason
to stamp
and to moan
to sweat
and toss
should leave it alone.

There is no reason
obsession takes over
thoughts mingle
with anxiety
and they make
no sense at all.

There is no reason
barring fear
and pain
to mull over the situation
and lose a days life
for it.

There is no reason
to behave like this
to leave your reasoning
to a useless object
that does not matter
in the least.

The reason is
loss
lack
bereft
control.
The reason is
self
gone
choice
missing.

At the mercy
at the warp
at the weft
of Life.
It has taken it out of me.
I am done.

Tell Me

,
Tell me, doctor sir, if you have the time
Tell me, doctor sir, why charge the price you do.
Oh I know, doctor sir, that you have study long and hard
But that was years ago
And I know, doctor sir, that you have many bills to pay.

Tell me, doctor sir, why is it that you are so greedy?
Is it, doctor sir, because you can be?
Oh I know, doctor sir, that there are overheads to consider
But you are one of a select few in this town
who can see a patient right now.

Our Government, doctor sir, pays you a good living
Through our taxes, doctor sir, you are sure of payment.
Tell me, doctor sir, how would it be
If every time you needed help you had to pay
half of your weekly income?

You don't brook any excuses, doctor sir, for not being able to pay
You even charge if the appointment must be broken
No excuses, doctor sir, you say.
Our health is our life, doctor sir, we have no choice in this
But you, doctor sir, have us by the balls.

So, doctor sir, I say to you, when next you need a friend,
Help in putting out the fire in your house
or the collecting, doctor sir, of your garbage.
We will, doctor sir, charge you half your weekly income
And see how you like the feeling.

WHAT?

Five thousand US dollars a SECOND.
This is suppose to make it easier to imagine.
But it doesn't.
Five thousand dollars a second is the cost of the war in Iraq...
All based on a lie...
And that is not even counting the cost of lives.

And now they want to make noises towards Iran.

What the F***!!!!

DATE

She rang to say how excited she was that someone had asked her out on a date, the first one in over a year...'a proper one'.

He had seen her face on facebook and liked what he saw and was a friend of a friend.

She talked about it for three days.
A frisson in her voice that made her parents hearts lighten.

He turns up....late.
WRONG!
He turns up in a Porsche.
WRONG!
He talks incessantly about himself and how to make money.
WRONG!
He takes her, in the second largest city in the country, to a RSL club.
WRONG!
He talks about how to save money and how much he has.
WRONG!
They walk together to the cashier and he turns and says matter of factly:
"Of course you will be paying for yourself" as he removes his wallet from his pants.
WRONG!
She doles out the last note she has and has none left to escape from this nightmare by taxi.

What the heck is wrong with twenty something males.
I have been watching re runs of "Friends" (refused to watch such garbage the first time around, and besides I was busy with my life) to try and get a handle on the attitudes of ...me meme, me meme, and myself and I.

They are selfish, lying, conceited, manipulating, sneaky, misleading, dishonest, cowards. Did they really inform a generation? Or did the generation inform the performances.

This beautiful, funny, socially aware, feisty, honest champion of others is being short changed.
All these twenty somethings who are living with mummy and daddy, or are being supported one way or another by mummy and daddy, or who want another mummy to take care of them, and who can only talk about themselves and their greed..are they real?

I guess my darling girl will have to wait till she is 30 and the pathetic males of her generation catch up and grow up.

She never dreamed big
She never dreamed large
She only ever dreamed a dream
of love and comfort and acceptance.

She never writ big
She never writ large
She only ever wrote passion
with love and comfort and acceptance

She never hoped big
She never hoped large
She only ever hoped for peace
in love and comfort and acceptance.

She never bore big
She never bore large
She only bore her children well
for love and comfort and acceptance.

So she grows old, big
She grows tired, large
She grows in understanding
of love and comfort and acceptance.
