But Still I Have To See

I’ve seen a lot happen, that I couldn’t stop From a young age, I learned Good vs. Evil Corruption is not new to me Pain and suffering is not new to me Cover-ups are not new to me Carrying truth, has always been what is to be I’ve seen lies and I’ve seen denial I’ve seen scapegoating or blame take a smile I’ve seen wounds that last a lifetime And wrongful loss taking some, by crime My perspective now, I suppose is based on this Now, before me all the facts replay again I cannot stop the record or make the blind see I cannot rid the fear that rules so many I cannot fix the damage that is done But, still I have to see Heidi Sands 11/21/21

Empathy is great but we should remain equanimous too, not indifferent but detached. Deep poem here, Heidi, we cannot change others but we can change ourselves

Hi. Yes, it has never been easy for me to detach , all my life. I care about everyone, including those I do not know. Yet, I have learned other things that have changed some of me. True, we cannot change others. Thank you for your input. I hope you have a nice day :)

So much false information, corruption, and greed out there, the truth is somewhere in the mix

Some misguided folks will always try to steer the wrong way. Stay with your beliefs and be at peace my friend. Things always fall in place.
