Epiphany

Life & abusive substance
Power too.. 'Misuse' in abundance.
Strength to choose is inside us
The keys to use beside us
Darkness pervades,
Conspiracy is it a truth?
Are lies more feel? 
Or 'good' really a factor?
Here’s to morals!
Remnants of character,
The stages of opportunity 
unplayed as yet..
And leaders aspiring unto
The integrity of actors.

Methinks the whole life process is one big act. Better study your facial movements in the mirror, eh, JOe. Happy New Year. Love, daver
