Moses where have you been son? Thank you for comment, your poem is great as usual and I'm here to tell you that my second book has been released and I'm going to be on a radio program on Sunday in the Northeast, So good things are happening and I will plug poetrysoup and it's members on the program so Moses keep in touch and I'll be catching up to your other poems as soon as I find the time. God bless

Excellent way of describing the way people deny reality, John. Faith and Love's wisdom are indeed the answers to seeing the truth. Outstanding entry for Brian's contest, my friend, and you know I'll be looking for your poem in the winner's circle. It's nice to see you posting again. Hope things are going well now. Love, Carolyn
