WOUNDED HUNTER
For twenty years I was married to a wounded hunter,let me explain. I was married to a man that I found out was addicted to drugs th at led to him being in and out of jail thru out my marriage. Needless to say he never kept a job for long either. I was reaised in a house were my father went to work daily and provide for his family, so this was not the norm al for me to say the less. Well I was also raised seeing my mother whom I love and resepct dearly, accept any and every thing my father brought her w with the exception of not working. And believe me there was lots of drama and madness that came with my father. If you ever heard the saying, she loved his dirty draws, well my mother did that of my father. I was also raised in a house were I was taught very strong spiritual values about marrage and I had a lot of bible training. So because of the things I were taught, I endured a lot of pain a tribulation in my marrage because I felt this was norm al . I was aware that in marrage you would have up's and down's and I was more than willing to play my part and stick 'em out. I was willing to accept all the pain and tribulations because I though it was normal. Well I endured lots of mental abuse and even some physical abuse at times, but because I was a fighter it was more mental. The mental abuse was the worst because I started to second guess myself as a woman and a mother. I would think that for some reason I had not given enough even when I was the only hunter in the house a lot of time . Or I would think it was maybe because I had gained some weight after having for kids and I was not at t ractive to him anymore so maybe this was the problem. Even though when I went out I still got a lot of attention from men , I still felt they only wanted me for sex and that no one could really love me for me. But now I have come to understand that it was not me that was the problem, but I had let myself become intrapped with a wounded hunter. The reason I say this is, because a man is created and born with the natural desire to hunt. They hunt for thier women and they hunt for their own sucess. When a man hunts and finds a mate the natural deisire to protect and provide becomes evidence. Because he will work day and night to make sure she has whats need to be happy. So if your hunter dose not feel the need to get up and provide, he is nothing in God's eyes. Now if you have a hunter that maked excuses for why he dose not hunt, or if you like so many of us make excuses for him as to why he dose not hunt we should stand back and take a real close look at w hats really happening. Let's look at what led to his woun ds. Did he make the choice to sell drugs? Did he steal from a company he worked for? Did he not show up for work or was always late? Did he get caught selling or using drugs at work ect. Remember these are self inflicted wounds. These were choices' he made that caused these wounds. Also remember if someone inflects wounds on themselves there is some form of self destruction, and this person can not be good for you. And not to be judgmental because only God can judge us. Let's view this with a opened mind. We have some wounded hunters with self inflected wounds that patch themselves up, get up and get out still provide for their family's. They even sometimes take meaningless job with the hope and prayer something better comes along. They go back to school or even start their own businesses to get past their wounds. So if you have a wounded hunter and he is still striving to provide for you. Hold fast and stay strong keep praying and things will get better. But if your hunter dose not try to get up get out and get something, remember he is useless in God's eyes, so what good can he do you. Wounded hunters in the wild usually get devoured.WOUNDED HUNTER

- That is so true, I too stayed in a relationship for a very long time because I thought it would get better. I am truly a rider but there is such a thing as riding the bus to long, you feel me.

- I read this work then stared at the comment box for 15 minutes trying to think of something to say. As I said before, every artist has the final word on how they present their view but I'd be dishonest if I didn't say that this comes across more as a dissertation than a poem. I'm not trying to be unkind, S, and if it works for you, go with it. But I don't think you'd want me to be disingenuous with my assessment. As a compositon, it's quite literate and informative.

- I see that they have me down as having rated this poem a five. That is a typo or a computer glitch. I have never rated any poem on this web site a five and I knowI gave this a nine or 10 when I first read it. This is a well written piece no 5 for this.

- I read this again tonight. It's a very good poem I like the last sentence about wounded hunters being devoured. Excellent piece. Somtimes reading a poem over makes you see things you missed the first time.
