wind and silence

the wind whispers,
speak not against corruption-
you'll have no friends.

This is not how it should be, I won't bend to it. I may silence myself, but I won't jump in that game. Powerful Haiku that I'm not childish or ignorant enough to believe false, I know it's so for way too many in way too many countries. I was sad to read in your comments to me that you were depressed, I hope your spirits have lifted. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

Oh, my - it seems that in June I found this witty and sarcastic instead of gray and bleak. That gives me pause.

Yes. I am learning this on Facebook. Nobody cares to like or comment to posts I make against world corruption in government and health care

It is most relevant in our underdeveloped (or developing) corrupt society. Thank you.

LOL! We must use good judgment and also not expect that everyone understands or is on board. Even amidst kin, one must hve wisdom. Hugs

A good poem. Yet I continue to speak out to my detriment.

To speak or not to speak. That's a question I've been asking myself almost every day lately.

I want to applaud your words of aversion to corruption. Many of us take a chance when we speak.

This delivers! Love the wit, the humor. I needed the smile this gave me, thank you ... CayCay (I regret if I haven't visited you yet, I know I intended to but can't recall if I followed thru. DO the Best I can as I'm sure you do, too. Let's go with that?)
