Moral Confection

Moral confection
is like facial complexion
that changes
with exposure to weather

like it or not
we are our elements

sweetly pimpled

when saturated
dried and cracked
and pealing
for deprived of
right feeling

and creams and lotions
are only physical motions

getting us spiritually nowhere

What I strive for is the health and longevity of spirit. Thank you, Sunshine. Hugs and blessings.

Speaks Volumes Date: 7/19/2023 11:08:00 AM This one like many of yours made me think Joe. Definitely over the years moral values have changed, but in some ways I think that cant be such a bad thing. We are more free to express ourselves now with out persecution, but agreed in some ways change is too fast and heading the wrong way. Your wonderful poem, really made me evaluate what's happening. So well done.

Bombs are bigger, brains are smaller. It is very difficult to dust ourselves entirely clean of our environment. Thank you for commenting my friend.

And we notice Outbreaks of licentiousness To often in the areas they cover The only conclusion is they are False promise's Joe Dimino Date: 7/19/2023 1:00:00 PM I am not certain of anything. Have no way of knowing. He said that he is proud of his son, Hunter...and that his son is the smartest person he knows. What do you think? I don't watch Fox after their firing of Tucker Carlson. Speaks Volumes Date: 7/19/2023 12:18:00 PM Do you REALLY believe THAT Joe ????????????????? I bet you heard it on Rupert Murdock's sky news LOL LOL LOL LOL Anything you hear off THAT media, don't bother to tell me about Joe. and Please never repeat it in print as if its the truth. Joe Dimino Date: 7/19/2023 11:43:00 AM Hi SV. Thank you for commenting. I agree, in many ways we are more free to express personal preferences. My hope is that enough of us keep mindful to let children be children. Too many predators taking advantage of innocence. I heard our president took showers with his twelve year old daughter. Could this be true? And, if so, for what reason was that necessary?
