Picture your world in coulourfull strokes
With Care and Abandon
Of a life worth living
Devoid of Wealth
and immune to Goverment Stealth

Chris, You are right!!! I really like this one. I've got the first 4 lines under my control. But where do you get vaccinated??? (LOL) I love the USA. And thankfully, we do still have many of the original freedoms that our forefathers fought to give to us. But I fear that excessive dependence on the government for economic survival makes humanity vulnerable to BEING CONTROLLED (losing a few more freedoms that we once enjoyed). God Bless America. PLEASE. Lovingly, Dane Ann

I am not sure exactly what you mean here. Wealth can do good for others or it can be totally selfish. Government totally abandoned would mean that it would have to be a whole different world with totally different people and that will not happen until God sets up his kingdom. Keep writing. Sara

Indeed, it would be a far more beautiful a world if quality of life were not determined by the amount of money one has or the government's ability to intrude. Yes, Christopher, I do believe this is the best one yet and it goes straight to my favorites! Love, Carolyn
