Narrated Empathies



Heard and dramatically delivered.
Over radio airwaves these days meant.
Delivered from distant shores.
Narrated empathies.
Given to perceive drenching sincerity.
During the midst of ruin and destruction.
Unnecessarily administered.
For the purpose to achieve it to believe,
Evil misdeeds to defend the wickedness...
Of them around the World done.
Restores a quality of life that leaves,
People affected...
Both physically and mentally,
Will one day awaken,
From wars to wish won victoriously.
And...
Have their dreams to fiction them come true.
Without grief, pain or heartfelt sorrows to feel.
While living happily ever after.
Munching on snacks and sipping wine.
In an alternate Universe freed from reality!

'Stop the video!
Something is missing,
That gripping sense of suspense.
Play what was said again.
About the heroic greatness defended.
By our loyal patriots.
Standing in the shadows of devoted love.
Braving the thunder, lightening.
And the unrelenting skin blistering winds.
With little, if any, damage done,
To our entitlements immediately found to be...
Left unscathed.'

'I think it's perfect.
Especially the emotion in your voice.
I recommend you leave it as is.
You make tears drop from the driest of eyes.'

'Yes.
It's all in language usage.
How could I miss something that important.
I meant to say...
*And the unrelenting blistering,
Of skin ripping winds.
Tormenting yet tolerated.
By our brave women and men.
Like no other human before has ever done.*'

'Hey...
Not bad. Not bad at all.
We will add those additional comments,
As the closing credits slowly role.
To what, I think, is a riveting narrative.
This close to being...if I should say,
An award winning documentary.
Say what you had meant to say.
With your voice trembling.
Trust me...
No one can deny your compassion.
And watch the ratings go through the roof!'

'That's all the advertisers want anyway.
To assist the marketing to sell medications.
Generic drugs and liquor.
To minors.
Minors! Can you believe it?
And,
You are right.
Both suggestions you made are great.
Either way the final product turns out to be?
Both suggestions work for me.
Your producing skills,
Never disappoint their creativity to value.'

'So difficult it is,
In this business to stay humble.'

'Tell me about it.
No humility have I ever projected,
Filled my refrigerator,
With organic fruits and vegetables.
Or flavored spring water.'

    narrow is the road that leads to ... truth, and few there be that find it because reality happens windingly... it takes awareness to start to straighten it out. starts within, so i have been told. the without not always a fight for us to take up, the road to real life being perhaps narrow as well, not all is needed to involve ourselves with, nor need to be believed, for any who have sought truth over error in their own life, and begun to find it.
