Perfume of tremendous worth,
Emptied from an airtight jar,
Left a sweet fragrance in the air,
As roses on a spring morn.

Promptly brought a harsh rebuke,
Labeled as a wasteful sin.

...Implosion of democracy 
Explosion by hypocrisy 
Not what God meant to be
Twisted by man’s hands of deceit 

Whitewashing history
Distorting views
Blatant blasphemy 
Stringing together fools

Always the vigilant hunter at twilight's time of day

This swift and silent predator never mak...

Who sometimes lets you in on his woes,
The wrought by nearness of abodes;

Premium MemberWhen In Rome: Improving Foreign Relations

It would be impolite to refrain from joining her for a brew.
I may not always stop to think,
While teetering on ...
