-Mankinds BS

I tire of the all the B.S

Thats spews from the mouths of mankind

Spoken with false sincerity

Good intentions undermined


No decency , no conscience

Souls darkened by deceit

Void of compassion and kindness

Hearts of solid concrete


Good, kind ,caring humans

Are the saving grace

To still have belief in mankind

To keep and maintain faith

You penned this so well, it is a horrible reality, and yet, there are loving hearts like yours and others on this site, and our families. I turned off the news, and that has helped me somewhat to focus on light. Sadly, we live in tumultuous times, but then again...as I read history and think, hm! When weren't we? If not us, there was always some, as you so well expressed, BS going on. Cheer up, to see you upset is like a cloud over sunshine. Just know dear Deb, you are sunshine. Be blessed <3

Dear Deb, Wow, you captured the frustration of seeing the falsehoods and lack of sincerity around us, yet it also holds onto the hope for goodness in humanity. I liked the contrast between the deceitful and the truly compassionate really strikes a chord. Beautifully written and so meaningful! Spring Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

Fortunately, Deb, just one of the latter is worth fifty of the former. Enjoyed your observations; alas I must dash… I’ve got an interview with that nice Donald Trump.
