Cliff of Virtues

Through the mountains, valleys, rivers and wooded trees, I see many things on my walks, sorting thoughts that don’t freeze I can see so much happening nearby and so far away Results from lack of law and order, we can’t sustain day to day Corruption eats away truth, like termites in the wood Leaving no strong structure for shelter, even with nails if you could So much has been dismantled, transformation many chose to ignore But eventually, it comes around, knocking loudly at your door It’s a time to re-evaluate virtues, beliefs and what’s worth fighting for Because, we are right on the edge of a cliff, falling with so much more Heidi Sands 10/31/21

“Corruption eats away truth, like termites in the wood”— great line Heidi! I think good people have assumed the best of others and have been awakened. I pray we can strengthen what remains.

It's a personal choice that we all must make for ourselves. Whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, if there be any virtue or praise ,think on these things.
