Roads We Chose

Roads We Chose


If you travel down the wrong Lane
where humanity is swept away
with hate and viral diatribes
well then you know
Tom Petty
has inseminated his seed
they knock on all doors
if a narrow mind will answer
ring ring
oh ,my hatred sings

do not be a little mind
unless genocide is your thing

Hatred is not always percivable..It can be by Some held very deep inside.' Yet it will erupt and Surprise.' Its the age old burden of humans and Small negative actions through life can 'gift it to You?' When it becomes twined with cold indifference evil is in the wings.' And will strike.' I feel you are quite apart from your subject matter..Questioning the fabric of our simulation? Which is a word in vouge that Will do for now Arthur.' I have experience to Impart should you sift my writes'

I must steel myself to put up The write that shows how Wrong we can get things.. I Get deflated thinking about My stupidity at that time..Still it bears fruit in that I have grester tolerance Of others.' As you must realise In your cimments on My writes 2021/22 i bear no Ill will..Yet do bear outrage Because of what was in motion against you..' I refer myself to my own failings in A terrible conversation with A w e f agent (when i was a foolish angry) man..Not knowing..Not realising how Words can engineer mayhem.. And how real God Is...Lord i eat every wrong Word.' I deny every hateful Thought help me to heal.'

I hear you. So does the world. Many are waking up to the reality of what is going on. Unfortunately, it's too late for those who were murdered, burned, and maimed. Those who stand on the wrong side of history will have to answer their children.
