What Is Right Is Right

I can feel my waters Stirred breath ready to shed my uncertainty serenity felt at my cerebral knowing the hurricane that is brewing along our tidal banks holding my calm precious aroused by complacent absurdity senseless ambiguity to keeping the candle lit or snuffed Society in peril sweeping winds of pretentious needs of our resistance greedy hands will cut swaths of verticil barren our hearts will be on the land our compass has come home for us to stand against the wailing cry my silence no more has ability though alone I may stand sometimes this hill is enough soon our gale could prevail I see layers built to last the weather seedlings blown against the shore’s beginning grown fearless against the tides push strong steadfast pathways taken through hard questions asked scattered across paroxysmal lands narrowed by corrupted lies still, what’s right by your lived creed what’s right is right, what’s Right with the wind 7-11-2020

Hi Harry, nice to see you. I'm glad it hit a note...sometimes I just can't pull these strong feelings together but just write pages...this one worked though. Thanks for commenting.

...yep...there is always that 'middle' path where-on each may attend to their 'what is right life' without creating opposition.... ....having been a teacher one learns to find it in a class room for eg.......stan sand

Thank you Panagiota. There are paths of change I hope I can stand to see happen here in America...and some absurd reasons people won't wear a mask to respect others also is a puzzlement to me.
