Walk Away


It once dawned on me
I can't make many see
A variety of things,
so vitally important
Often feeling pressure,
to carry truths alone
For others not to condone,
wrongful actions playing out
Lady of justice, empty handed
Smiles from thee casting lies
False accusations rampid
Oh, where are those spies?
Truth telling investigators,
in positions of authority?
To resolve matters swiftly
Let's not fight like alligators
Save lives, this is needed
Walk away from evil now seeded

A verse of wisdom Heidi, sad to see but greed, evil and corruption are rife in this world. Hope you're doing ok. Tom

The Ten Commandments clearly states "Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness Against Thy Neighbor". It is also said that the tongue is a two edged sword that swings both ways and if you aren't careful you can cut yourself to death on it. A fine write Heidi. God Bless, JB
