Emile Pinet Poet Rhyme

An Innate Compass

Our morals define our humanity:
not our intellect or our vanity.

An innate compass of morals guides us:
so we don't throw our friends under the bus.

Those with muted morals silence their souls,
citing justification and loopholes.

Morals distinguish animals from Man,
along with free will; it's part of God's plan.

Barbara Barry-Nishanian January 17, 2021 at 6:45 AM I'm always excited when you win, my friend. Congrats. I'm not aware of who used religion in unpleasant ways. I know people can disagree with others' viewpoints. I agree one can speak one's beliefs, but leave the door open for, disagreements. Stay well. Emile Pinet January 17, 2021 at 8:08 AM Thanks Barbra, you honor me my friend, Emile.

Jan Allison January 7, 2021 at 9:54 AM well said Emile, I think Mark will like this one i can relate to it from a recent unpleasant experience on soup shame people have to hide behind religion to do their dirty work:-( hugs Jan Alexis Y. January 12, 2021 at 3:27 PM In my opinion, no one should “hide” behind religion to treat others in a disrespectful manner.
