Manor Grange

naaviie • 976 followers

I know how we all dream,
So much we want, to the extreme,
Will riches give joy?
I'm not just saying this to annoy,
I just want to know,
You want fame from that spot in the show?
Does that make everything change?
Now you have your own Manor Grange?
Fill it will rich, laced balconies,
Suits of armour and old tapestries,
Will happiness come from crystal?
Or will you just end up crying,
Your hand cradling a loaded pistol?

Is there really glory in riches and fame?
How about a Lord or Lady before your name?
Does it really matter!
It's just some bullshit patter?!

The questions you should ask,
Should be whether it's worth wearing a mask,
Or how pleasure can come from helping,
To allow hearts to start melting,
You just piss me off, your greed,
Always wanting, gone past need,
This society makes me despair!
The vain stupidity and selfishness makes me glare,
Don't you realise that you are not better,
Do not think little or judge that beggar,
You do not know him!
Who are you to condemn!

@naaviie no problem hun 💞

Not sure how I missed this one! Very powerful! In case you're wondering what I'm doing back here so far, I need some reassurance that I'm not the most callous heartless person alive. After the AleishaGayle incident and then the Kelly Seasons incident, I'm really finding it hard to believe in people on Opuss anymore. In particular I've just seen the post by Stablish in respect of melody, and I just don't believe it. I know that makes me sound so cruel and I feel awful for thinking it, but I'm really struggling to know what's truth and what's a lie on here. I'm sorry to waffle at you, I didn't want to accidentally splurge a comment I would regret somewhere else.

I feel like Opuss has made me more cynical? If it is true, it is the most tragic thing ever, and truly truly sad. But, I'm finding it hard to accept and I feel so awful. Thank you for being my agony aunt and please delete the comments once read :(

Jul 10, 2012 at 9:23 PM

@Nom - awe sweetie, I'm afraid that opuss is just a bulb

Jul 10, 2012 at 9:35 PM

@Nom - awe sweetie it makes me really sad to read that from you 😔 I hope you hear me when I say my writing is perhaps on of the most honest parts of me, and that I wouldn't ever do anything like those others! Unfortunately opuss is a micro community that represents the real world in a way, which I choose to mean that the majority of people are nice, genuine people that just want to express their work, or have an outlet etc. however, these people do not get as much credit even though they are the majority simply because the wanna-be dictators, attention seekers, and general scally-wags will always get higher profiles. Just like watching the news shows you all the murderers, terrorists and other criminals. Of course we need to be cautious, and not believe everything we see - that is just the way of things. Let the attention seekers have their moments, it will not last. We'll all move on for a bit. But just like reality there always has to be a bit of drama! Why on else are soaps so popular when they are so miserable! Perhaps, as one of the most secretive people here (perhaps?) will anonymous name, do you remember I didn't even know your gender! You can appreciate that people may want to hide, and likewise may act out of turn.... Ok serious ramble fest. I hope I don't sound patronising or, well, silly! And that I kinda helped a bit, but I am shattered and off to bed now (gotta be at the farm for 6am...) errr... What was I saying? Oh yeh, I'm tired so this might be a massive load of gobbledegook! How the hell do you spell that! I know you don't like kik, but I am on there if you ever need a rant. And kik can be anonymous too, so don't worry about your secret identity. - oh - and thanks for all the reading and liking 😜 my night owl one seems to have gone off by itself for some fun! Hahaha 😘 nanight froggie

@Nom btw, you're totally not heartless

Jul 10, 2012 at 9:49 PM

@naaviie your words mean so much. Thank you for reading and helping. Have a great day at the farm!

Jul 11, 2012 at 7:18 PM

@Nom - wow, congrats on getting through my rant! Are you feeling any better?

Jul 11, 2012 at 7:26 PM

@naaviie I feel a bit less evil. A bad day at work with my more evil boss probably helped!

Jul 11, 2012 at 7:41 PM

@Nom - you aren't evil! Though I can believe your boss is, what did he/she do?!

Jul 11, 2012 at 8:14 PM

@naaviie too longwinded to explain. Except that he seems to rotate who he picks on (my turn!) and he is NEVER wrong.

Jul 11, 2012 at 8:23 PM

@Nom - sounds like a bully 😣

Jul 11, 2012 at 8:31 PM

@naaviie yup. Trying to pity him helps make me a bit less angry...

Jul 11, 2012 at 8:42 PM

@Nom - he must be pretty insecure to treat people like that. Are you ok?

Jul 11, 2012 at 9:05 PM

@naaviie I'm fine. I'm used to it, and hopefully I'll switch jobs within the next year so that'll be a relief!

Jul 11, 2012 at 9:08 PM

@Nom oooo good plan! What do you want to do?

Jul 11, 2012 at 9:13 PM

@naaviie the same as I'm doing :)

Jul 11, 2012 at 9:27 PM

@Nom ah cool 😁

Jul 11, 2012 at 9:37 PM

@naaviie :) I'm not saying only because it's such a boring and uncreative job you'll be surprised I can even write poetry!

Jul 11, 2012 at 10:01 PM

@Nom dear lord, you're not a banker are you?!

Jul 11, 2012 at 10:01 PM

@Nom accountant?!

Jul 11, 2012 at 10:01 PM

@Nom something with paper work!

Jul 11, 2012 at 11:08 PM

You got it in 2 😏

Jul 12, 2012 at 5:56 AM

@Nom - you're an accountant! Hahaha that is cute - vicar of dibley style? well, at least you're doings what you want, right?

Jul 12, 2012 at 7:28 PM

@naaviie frankly I mostly hate it, but I'm nearly qualified so I can go anywhere with it (not necessarily in accounts!). Of course I can't become a vet...

Jul 12, 2012 at 7:39 PM

@Nom - so where is it, that you dream of?

Jul 13, 2012 at 7:48 PM

@naaviie not sure...

Jul 13, 2012 at 8:02 PM

@Nom I guess you can cross that bridge when it arises!
