The body politic '

In sleep..Deepest sleep, does the body not move.? For lying too long on just one
Side is bad? I believe that is true.? We turn right to left, all unaware, as ( the body )
Regulates by innate care.' So being on the
Left indefinatley will stress your skin crush blood in transit, cause pain within
The same for the right, do not stay forever
Maybe a while on the back, will suit you better.? A simple enough theisis, but practical truth..Could it be applied to politics.? Would it help somewhat.? In 
Valuing balance.? Does it allow a plot.?
As in seamanship? A course to follow for
The body of a country, maybe we all 
should on just not?  swallow..That the right side or the left, are the only choice.'
Available is discernment, treat it not as naught.' Maybe better for the body of a country, to have chance to move? And
Before retiring to the bed, 
in making; slip off real heavy shoes ?

Hi Joe; I am of the opinion that there is a right and wrong, some sides closer to truth than others. A perfect example, the Right, Republican Wing, is often the one to cave to the Left. The Left always insisting, my way or the highway. It has made a moral mess of our nation. The Right, under Trump's leadership, is finally willing to stand up for Christian Truth and Values (don't believe the nonsense of the press, or even Liberal Clones here on Soup) -- One cannot, should not, ever compromise with wrong. Whatever way, sleep well.

Haha. Love the ending!! I got more wrinkles on left side of my face for sleeping mostly that way. Now I aim for the back. Big sometimes I just gotta have that fetal curl!
