Morality Divided

MORALITY DIVIDED Morality, where art, thou? Good morals, down they go. Greed, abuse of power, selfishness, grandiosity, materialism, shamelessness, all abound and promoted by reality shows. Goodness is still around, as some show their virtues, like acts of kindness, empathy. Let us be united to bring back or show morality. 8/13/21 Submitted A Brian Strand Rhyme Me Poetry Brian Strand 1/2/21 Morality Poetry Mark Koplin

Congratulations on your HM Marilene! It seems to me that morality is a grass roots movement and has the power to change hearts one encounter at a time. You have expressed that so well. Really well done. Blessings to you and prayers for your family.

Thanks, Beata. I was in the Philippines in Jan - Feb, after my last visit of 1985. I'm so glad that I did that before everything shut down.

Thanks so much, Alexis. Thanks for the prayers. Actually, I've been texting everybody I know for prayers. I've been not really myself the last two weeks. Worst, I cannot even think of any word to write. Thanks, again.

Mark, thank you so much for my HM placement. It's like a glimpse of hope for me. I have not written, it's just there are no words I could think of. Just got a word that my brother is slowly deteriorating from covid and there are !9 more in my family circle cov positive. It's just unbelievable. Thank you.
