- Give Me A Minute Or Two Pinocchio -

    Promises are shown as silhouettes to the world
    even if it's madness - the people have spoken
    No one feels guilty for how things turn out

    Respect withers
    the ears shrink
    Black and white perspective
    emotionally closed

    Remember that hatred is born from the veil of ignorance
    - human beings have only temporarily managed to forget it

John Read November 11, 2024 at 7:58 AM You speak the truth Anne hatred is born through ignorance. Have a lovely day. Xx

Sotto Poet November 10, 2024 at 4:24 PM Indeed emotional numbness in society, highlights how promises often remain unfulfilled and how ignorance breeds hatred.
