" WHISPERING AND ROARING " MY PHOTO, ©

1. WHAT? Are we going to enter the ill-fated whirlpool of Unintelligible madness, and let calamitous folly, Anchor its obscure ships of destruction in our Harmonious hearts? Or Are we going to follow the discerning star of Glowing reason and allow lustrous wisdom Institute its simmering dominion in our Tormented minds? 2. Are we going to constantly give fortified shelter to Detrimental fears and permit fatal pessimism Establish its depressing presence, In our serene lives? Or Are we going to evict, detrimental dread, from our Excruciating consciousness and relinquish vivifying Optimism to enact its invigorating message, All over our agonizing planet? 3. Are we going to stand, apathetically still in front of Virtue’s constant devastation and grant mean vice, Permission to grow its abominable fruit of injustice In our loving society? Or Are we going to become vigorously implicated in Rectitude’s resurrection by putting up a gallant fight for The condemnation of dreary crime, In our fearful world? 4. Are we going to let fading belief steadily degenerate our Blazing ethics and permit sinister infamy, build its Damnable empire of anarchy, in our Mystic souls? Or Are we going to work, with ever-expanding zeal to Revive glittering morality by sanctioning compassion and Regenerating empathy and bringing harmony in Our damned society? 5. Are we going to sacrifice illustrious truth on the Wicked altar of self-interest and endure venomous lie Undisturbed to flourish in the midst of our Community? Or Are we going to courageously strive against the Catastrophic falsehood by allowing rapturous Veracity thrive and blossom within Ourselves? 6. Are we going to remain helpless prey of Mischievous hatred and grand carnivorous war the Permit to destroy and devour life on Eternal earth? Or Are we going to transform ourselves to Charitable giants and give birth to everlasting peace and To ever-enduring love for every fellow Living being? 7. If your choice is not the former but the latter, my Loving friend, Then Do not just whisper but ROAR! © Demetrios Trifiatis 16 December 2020

Wow, I wish I could have penned this. It expresses all that I and I am sure many others feel about the events that brought about this dreadful state of affairs world wide. It sadly has made me look at the human race in a different light which makes me feel unhappy. I think as bad as it is, it may be a blessing in disguise to teach us all what is right or wrong and to get our priorities right... Thank you, Demetrious your words and opinion were greatly appreciated and I agreed with them wholeheartedly . God Bless you and your family and keep you in good health.....
