Unless We Are In Blackpool Full of Hope

Depending on our power, we may be blessed
Hallucinations entertained and self confessed
Fill our world with wonder and delight
Unless our mind is filled with hateful spite

Seeing  the  Golden Light  may give us hope
Unless we are in Blackpool full of dope
Feeling warmth may comfort us at night
Unless a cigarette set us alight

Hearing soft sweet voices is  a change
When one is alone but not deranged
Love your spirits and you will be safe
Hatred cultivated   ruins hope

If we are kind and wish no-one ill
We live  well within the sacred will

Hello Katherine … we like to think that when we hope for something we can achieve it, and a good start is to treat people the way we like to be treated - thanks Katherine - Lindsay

I agree it is always good to follow the golden rule and if we fail we can apologise and begin again.We feel better too if we treat others well
