Hopelessly tangled in lies and deceptions He knocked on the door of the House of Corrections

Hmm. I'm sitting here wondering what profession that could possibly be Linda... Actually, I myself was a prison guard in the Illinois Dept. of Corrections in a 'previous life.' (No kidding. It was 45 years ago). ~ Earned his stripes

I think we are all feeling "hopelessly tangled in lies and deceptions." The House of Corrections might be a good place for some to get three solid meals a day. Had you thought of that? And they will not need to reinstate their lost health insurance.

Hi Gershon , So many feel trapped with no way out, succumbing to the same old routine. That’s my take on this well written write:-) Alexis
