Polite Society

The piece speaks for itself.

Cold, indifferent

heartless, apathetic

are conjectures hurled

behind my back.

 

but when 

they are in deep, deep s**t

they are more than willing

to kiss my feet.

(probably, a loan shark :)

haha, the little comment on the last part makes me smile wide... it made me think about those time na despite the name calling on your or the degrading feedback against you, they still come to you when they needed money or help, this happens mostly in family relatives... I think your denying the little truth there Gab on your author's note, I think you know the reason, perhaps some parts of it anyways... hehe, family matters ito, if i am not mistaken... again a great rant that speaks one of the negatives sides in our society....

Are you suggesting that I have selective amnesia, Pax? Hahaha. Now, I know the stealthy way how to get you here at WC :) :). Thanks PAx..I hope you are doing fine

We have a visitor from another site . Is he a defector ? We need to hold him hostage here and give Pax diplomatic immunity . We need to cancel his dual citizenship from HelloPoetry . Glad to see you back Pax .Gab will you facilitate the process ? :)

[gabrielle]

Pax is just returning to his domicile, neil. He is a mere resident in
HP with no intent, i suppose, to make it permanent. No need to hostage him. He can always come back from where he started from. :) nag explore lang sya ng other forums :)

I hope he will find it more greener on our side . And perhaps to blossom again where he was originally planted and sprouted . O poetic response pa yan . Sana tablan . We miss you Pax .Gusto mo sunduin ka pa namin . I will bring a pot . Gab handa mo yung mouth watering cup cakes . Sagot ni lola Dhaye iyung drinks . O wala niyan sa HP . Saka dito merong magpapautang sa yo doon wala . May paluwagan dito . SEEEEE !

[gabrielle]

Or baka nakukulitan lang sa atin kaya namangka sa kabilang ilog. Peace, Pax :) Bring a pot!? Bad influence ka, Neil, bawal yan! Lol!

[NeiL ArandA]

Pot or paso for transplant .Good influence ang tropa at barkada natin .

Is it a metaphor about demons that were expelled from down under
