Forever the Twain Shall Meet

Forever, the twain shall meet. Like a prostitute and the street. Ever competing for shift eye, top seeding.(dead meat) Dogs and Cats, dark alleys, ever meeting. Con artists with snake oil.(fish oil?) Suckers in headdress of foil. A Halloween party, each playing a part.( Let me show you my wares) An excuse for an exhibitionist to dress like a tart. A fog rolling in.(such a sight to see) A house with blinds covering sin. Career Politicians, wearing Jesus sandals.(hear no evil..see no evil...) Career Politicians in scandal. A child learning to fly.(purity, here) A Mother with fridge art, teary eyed. A Family without God. Another needless heartbreak.

My thanks genuflects to you again. I appreciate that you do. ...when I mention the Lord, I am hoping in his co-write. I want it to be a purity offered. A devotion and something to offer as a work, a prayer, a witness, and an apology.
