Only Two Choices

When there are only two choices left, Chances are there will be no middle ground left, And no choice that feels good, left. As something evil may be all that is left, No matter if you lean right or left. Extremism cannot survive in the middle ground, If you stand your ground, In the middle ground, Before evil gains ground, And you find yourself underground.

Good you are still on line. All extremism is with evil aligned. The middle ground is for those who keep their faith. Have a great week David in NZ

Then again if we doublethink ... Even as in stillness we blink ... What is evil but temporary misalignment ... Corrected easily by love enablement

Which is true, but evil sets subtle traps for the unwary who leave their faith behind. God's grace is what we need. I tered wary of fr right or far left. Is there much difference between the two, perhaps the far left mellows over time but just as deadly at its worst. They say you can kill people but not ideas? Stay safe and free David in NZ
