Tasked To Do

There are two types of behavior, ones that hear whispers, coming from their hearts, are tasked to do, understood by few. First, portraying the behavior of a ship lost at sea, adrift with no anchor to help them stop and see. Stormy skies, no stars overhead, only adding to their dread. Tired, angry, run down, pitiful and sorry, Will the ones they meet, extend a hand, or take too much pleasure, in a reprimand. Second, is to give signs to those lost and adrift, not open to the unknown, since prejudice and fear, block their vision. These signs are intuition and guided sight, which become tools of might, When used right, wielded day or night. The fight is only won, when the conscious turns on. Tears flow inside and out, Reason not to be sad, but to shout. So I have to ask the talking heads in all the churches, and on the street, fighting what they believe is the good fight, What are your tools of might? How are you really keeping score, if you are constantly asking for more? What are your results, that keep people wanting to come again, through the door?
