Food For Thought

Some Things to Think About

When is childish behavior no longer fun?
Can a self-righteous delusion actually be spun?
How much is enough? What’s the end game?
Are we seeking attention or some sort of fame?

What’s considered hate and what is not?
Why do some always chase that little red dot?
Can we think for ourselves? How bad are we flawed?
How can we not love our neighbors if we’re children of God?

When should a threat be met with fear?
Why are hidden messages never made clear?
Why do some people work while others just beg?
What came first, the chicken or the egg?

Can a poet create without any ink?
What makes a poem good and what makes it stink?
How can we know if we take things too far?
Are we good or bad? Can we choose who we are?

Hi Mark, You asked some great questions. At the end of the day if it quacks like a duck, it's most definitely a duck. I enjoyed the read-Alexis

We can starve or stuff our faces, but still some people will refuse to see or admit the truth. Just as soon eat! Good ideas, Mark.
