Hard Principales

The days of old have a certain manner
The hardness of issues that sometimes matter
With shadows and echo's they bring up the past
The worries of tomorrow that grab and hold fast

Histories once worried in their day
Set examples for us to learn and display
News and stories the media has a say 
To make us worry of how to go and which way

Gossip and rumors with whispers have a crave
Telling secrets and lies that send some to a grave
Speeches and announcements with mics engrave
Issues that move us to act with haste

Letters and notes in there own silent space
Tell their own story without the expression of a face
Whispers and signals tell secrets few know
Embarrassing answers from friends and foes

Thoughts and ideals may reach a dangerous goal
The evil of the heart when the damage unfolds
The wants and desires of ones secrets sold
The shame and mourning when the secrets are told

The judgement that follows eventually told
The way of ones thinking expresses their goals
The vile and the pure go their separate ways
The truth and the fiction will find the end of days
