Bad Ideas

Many are led astray by bad ideas without giving a second thought Some deeply dark evading light, a true enemy of your spark They'll dive deep to light a fuse to avoid taking a loss They raise red flags beneath the surface, but ignore them they are false The game of life is won & lost inside the minds of its players We're in a labyrinth made of pieces that have us puzzled by its layers The putting on of airs is hot wind, so I'm afraid the cover is blown Truth takes the high road like air balloons & interest on their loans Hone your skills of perception for you'll need it to know which way to go If you know the direction in which you travel, you can gauge the ebb & flow Use discernment & discretion as its needed on your path Your internal compass is your truth which is all you really have Engage the part of you that knows the truth before falsehood comes to wed Bad ideas are sticky & have a way of getting stuck inside your head
