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.

Sam Kauffman January 13, 2021 at 10:48 AM 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. Marilene Evans January 15, 2021 at 8:30 PM Thanks so much, Sam. I appreciate your kindness and support. Sorry, for the lateness... just overwhelmed...

Beata Agustin January 12, 2021 at 10:54 PM Congrats! I say "Amen" to this, especially your last line: " Let us be united to bring back or show morality." God bless you. Marilene Evans January 13, 2021 at 9:39 AM 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.

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 Koplin January 12, 2021 at 1:01 PM Great poem Marilene! I thoroughly enjoyed it! Congratulations!! Marilene Evans January 12, 2021 at 2:57 PM Mark, thank you so much for my HM placement.
