The Straight Road

Remember those that cut corners will go around in circles
And those with one’s mind attached to a string pulled which way what ever
Be of one’s self honest and the truth will find the right road.

hey harry, I found your word "are" playing out in the parking lot. maybe you want to put it back in your poem. it seems to go some where in the second line.
