Morality

M o r a l i t y is n o t in the eye of the beholder; it is sought by do unto others as you would have them do to you, caught with our C r e a t o r in mind, whose very words fell into humanity’s hands, being passed mouth to ear; tells what ails us, what we can do about it, where comes our salvation here on earth; morality is not numb. We are b l e s s e d with pleasure n o t to misuse it. Wicked imagination self-isolates to eternity’s fiery pit. 1/5/2021 Contest: Morality Sponsor: Mark Koplin

Ooh. Those last two lines certainly give one pause: 'Pleasure is not to misuse:' Could be 'sex;' could be money; could be food and eating... Everything in moderation, as my wise father used to say to me... Great contest entry, Kim. :) gw
