Feelin’ A Bit Like Dorothy Page 2
By Anthony Douglas Gere
I learned that most people that actually do get caught doing what ever they
did, were not good at it, it’s just that simple. I mean in doing most if not all
illegal things, your mind must be set in defending everything legal that is
about to come at and after you, so in not knowing what angle to defend in a
illegal sense, you go against everything legal. Now me, I was nor am I any
better than anyone, in or out of jail. I actually was guilty in what I did, and
knew it from the beginning. What helped me was the amount of money I
earned before my legal experience, my resources and my attorney, and his
experience in defending the predators that came after people like me. As I
would sit in this concert size court room, I not only felt out of place for obvious
reasons, I knew I was because I was now in the element of the so called
enemy, dealing with things on their terms, not mine. The very force that
wanted to convict me for doing wrong, wanted me to cooperate with them,
and I knew it. I knew I didn’t have a leg to stand on in my case, so as I sat
down and let my mouthpiece spit his venom at the prosecutor at five
hundred dollars an hour, I couldn’t help but to wonder, how in the hell did I
get here and if I could do it all over again, would I? The answer, yes, in a
heart beat, but that’s just me.
So as I opened my email today, I picked out this certain one that seemed to
be calling me out like it knew I needed a new topic to write about. I’ve often
wrote about situations that we all think we select, and how sometimes,
they select us without us knowing it. But this email was from someone
that had told me about them giving in to one of the world’s most deadliest
vices and enemies, alcohol. How they feel off of the wagon, and had been
convincing themselves that they could control this addiction that had taken
them to places they selfishly admit that to this day, can not remember.
How they had been closet drinking, and allowing their clothes along with
their soul, to fall to the ground as they were hung up to dry like hand
washed sheets on a clothes line in the backyard. How they had came to
the realization that they needed help, and that a structure program like the
world renowned Alcohol Anonymous was in the best interest to
themselves, their children and society as a whole. I commend them on
coming to this realization, but also said that something besides the
alcohol was their issue. You see in knowing you can’t do something and
then choosing to do it, something else beside the alcohol has taken control
of your reasoning for thinking what’s best for you. But we all are guilty of it,
justify our actions, give excuses for why and want to be accepted
unconditionally. I know I did when I was convicted, and like I said, still feel
that way to this day.
