Tears of a Mother

Tears of a Mother

What does it take?

What would it take?

What did it take?

My son, my boy, my child

My tears are rivers of endless loss

My heart broken, shattered, lost and bound in a darkness so deep recovery will evade me till my final breath

I can hardly breath my lungs are full of death, my heart is slowing stopping, pulsing to nothing

Are you my baby, my second son that was given me from the loins of your father?

Is it you, you my boy, my darling child, my new born boy?

Are you the child that would run and play and love and cuddle up close into my bosom before sleep,...

The Man Behind the Man
Posted on 2013-03-27 11:29:12 by Alan Forrest Smith

 

Once there was a gentle, happy-go-lucky man from a village somewhere in the heart of England. The village was typically English - small, green, personal and even had a pub called the Farmers Arms and a pond called the Millers Pond and a post office and a baker right in the center of the village. 

The man’s name was James Russell and he was a very devout Christian that rarely went to church (he hated the conformity) but loved God very much and loved to share the gospel very much. James was small not big would wear spectacles that looked cheap and would love to talk with anyone that was willing to listen about everything and anything in particular. Old Mrs. Jones whom lived next door would always say to James “don’t you ever stop talking?’ She meant nothing by it, she liked...

A Man Called Ridiculous
Posted on 2013-03-27 10:56:41 by Alan Forrest Smith

Short Story from Alan Forrest Smith

This is the story of a ridiculous man in a ridiculous life that wanted something preposterously ridiculous – freedom. Yes I did say freedom for I am the ridiculous man that keeps being told he is ridiculous to want to ask to think about freedom.

How can you gain freedom he asked me? This is my friend who may not stay my friend but is my friend all the same if we not only disagree but also really disagree on freedom itself.

So I told my friend it really depends on how you define freedom of course. I told him that while drinking free trade coffee from the now free and very small country in a continent I could barely pronounce. If this coffee and the state the coffee was born can gain freedom what is stopping me from my own freedom I asked him. I asked...

The Man and The Sought After Car
Posted on 2013-03-27 10:27:50 by Alan Forrest Smith

Short Story from Alan Forrest Smith

Once there was a man that wanted a car. Not just any car this was a different kind of car. A car desired sought after and admired in the entire world of admired and sought after cars.

When he first saw this car he was just a young man. A young man of just 23 years of age, like I said, not old, not young but a young man all of the same.

When he first met his girl who would eventually become his wife he would talk all the time about this car called the ‘God of the road’ and how one day he would own his very own much sought after and admired car. She seemed impressed and loved the idea of being driven around in car that would be very much admired and very much wanted by those that looked upon it. 

She liked to think of herself as a...

New Years Resolution or Revolution
Posted on 2012-12-31 20:16:59 by Alan Forrest Smith

Alan Forrest Smith 

Resolution or REVOLUTION

In the movie MONGOL the mongol called Temudjin gets into every kind of possible scrape. He is attacked, almost killed, locked up, held outside in freezing temperatures and more.

As the movie goes on Temudjin eventually becomes the leader of all Mongols. Before he does he asks the old wise man or shaman … "tell me old man, what is my future?"

The old man turns away without speaking, Temudjin walks out of his Yurt (tented home). Once out the old man says under his breath, "you already know your future Temudjin"

Temudjin becomes Genkhis Khan who eventually rules over half the populated Earth.

There is a lesson there that takes us into the term RESOLUTION.

Lets look at this right up to date

Sam is like most...

The Broken Man
Posted on 2012-12-06 14:31:44 by Alan Forrest Smith

A letter from a son to a mother.

The son is the broken man.

Dear mother

I hope you are well yet I am broken man.

Here I am today, right now, cold, and sore and sleep deprived walking along a wet empty street. It's filled with people out shopping, smiling, laughing and doing all the things all people do at Christmas but for me empty of soul for my life.

I'm broken, snapped in two, torn apart and so so sad for life. I know I shouldn't be but today I am stuck, trapped into a corner yet despite my endless pacing today I am truly broken.

My lover has gone, my father has gone, I have no home to boast, no friends to friend with, no compassion to receive, no love to embrace, no nothing for nothing.

Mother has life cheated me or did I cheat life? What took place was a...

The Age of the Drunken Bitch
Posted on 2012-10-22 15:47:14 by Alan Forrest Smith

Drunken Girls On The Streets

Is This The Age of the Drunken Bitch?

Sam and all her friends pile into the Sam’s apartment just to the west of the city where she studies.  Before the night out in the city, there’s always a drink before the drinks begin.

First comes the wine second comes the fake champagne and third finally the vodka, whisky and southern comfort.

Before the girls hit any of the bars all 5 of them can well and truly feel the over powering effects of all consuming trance of alcohol.

The first bar is cheap drink before 10pm. The girls laugh, scream, dance and hit the drinks hard and fast. 

Total inebriation is almost complete. Each girl almost takes in in turn to publically vomit whilst t another sits in the middle of a busy street with her knickers on show and her...

Bastardization of Humanity

Modern Philosophy Alan Forrest Smith

Bastardization of Humanity

On the TV show the Kardishians Bruce Jenner comes into view. He talks, walks and I'm sure he goes to the toilet like any other human being. Yet something isn't quite right to look at him.

Coming from an athletic world clearly the 62 year old is in good shape. He has his own hair, plenty of teeth that look great regardless if they were made in a laboratory or not. Yet looking at his face … no lines, no wrinkles, no sagging, ironed flat forehead, his eyes can barely close due the tightness of his skin and even his skin looks almost transparent from the point of view of a TV camera.

Then in the UK we have our own TV darlings that look and feel like they have been pumped, stripped, re-painted, recovered...

Dead Bread

Alan Forrest Smith Escape from Zoomanity

If you have 100 people does that mean you have to create 100 meals? Of course the answer is simple – of course you have to create 100 meals.

If only 50 meals are created that means 50 people go hungry. Yet if 200 meals are created that means you are going to get a lot of two things.

Fat unhealthy and obese humans that will eat more than they should because its there to eat. The second thing of course is waste, lots and lots and lots of waste.

Yet the waste is sickening when you know that people die from no food (or no distribution of food).

I was shocked when I recently watched a TED talk to see this brilliant expert reveal the food industry and its shocking waste.

The guy asked the audience the following question…’ who here like...

Londonageddon

 London Olympics London Quiet

Londonageddon 

Despite a brilliant London Olympics you’d think after reading a news report this morning that the end of London was about to take place.

The streets in the city are silent. West end tickets sales down 40%. Hotel rooms empty. Market traders have no one to sell to. The underground is empty. Restaurants are serving nothing but boredom to their staff.

Yet… Londonageddon was always coming, why?

What the media streams into the minds of the masses is very powerful. Take this one point. Daily on the run up to London we had endless messages about terrorist attacks, the army surrounding everything and even installing surface to air missiles on the roof tops of some homes! We also saw dry runs of the underground during this period. 

How it...
