A Resolution

Temptation resisted is the true measure of character. Flawed are the many that have founded on the theater of war and hate. Orating without thinking consuming the bait, bound to a fate no right out of the gate. Knowing and thinking a true heart beats infernal, with intuition all things are internal. Accepting only eternal some words speak cold and hollow, unheeded warnings no one wanted to swallow. Common ground has to be found resolving true feelings, contemplate and reason finding a meaning. Double edged is the sword with a voracious cut, all concession taken pulling the situation out of the rut. Absorbed into knowledge of the living and not the dead, still yearning of what needs to be fed. Love… James C Bryant Jr. April 10, 2003
