Notes About The Poem

We Are Responsible

What happened to the idea of believing in honor and integrity?

There was a time we believed that the end did not justify the means,
and the influences we had in our lives were for a purpose.

Let us remember to separate conflicting influences for what they are.

Life matters and our journey in life matters before we forget.

We are all responsible for who we are and our choices in the end.

Bravo Edward! Your poignant poem rings so true~our world has been turned upside down and sideways...we need to get back to "honor and integrity". Blessings, Paulette

Hi Ed...These lines make a lot of sense; you make us realize that values - the foundations of life - are slowly crumbling. Regards // paul
