Slates of Innocence

The eagle is hurting – His wings snipped, his majesty vacated; replaced by the rats of pigeons: Just a gray common color – what is left of a flamboyant soul once the spectrum of individuality is gone – bleached out by Marxist designers and and pressers. They plan for the people the garments of slaves – hoarding Gucci's and Cassini's for themselves and profligate offspring – Equality seldom reaches beyond their walls... never approaching their Elite doorsteps, paved with slates of innocence....

True Harry; when the focus is on self, any good that may have been accomplished for the world, is generally gone when self is gone -- or, the imagined good, just propagates a lot of other selves. If everyone lived entirely for others, humanities physical well being and spiritual development, one would need not waste a second on self. Blessings my friend. Let us pray together for world unity and prosperity. A better year for all creation. Blessings!

Hi P.S.. Blessings my friend! We write our messages, and pray, Blinkers will come off, and some ears will get unclogged.
