With no decency.

My magnificent  seraph, 
Behind a smile she shields her suffering 
Self-forgetting, so self inflicting  
Woe to the one who delights in decency...

Vicious rumours,

Idle gossip,

Talk, that is void of logic,

The horrific drama that

unfolds behind peoples' backs,

shows distaste and lack of

class and decency....

The sun has finished its shift, fun is a must
making hay begs as it reduces its cost
time not to be shy
loved by any guy
most seriousness and decency gone and lost....

Decency is not a priority as we know
Preferred the old rules
Call me an old fool
Twas a different era things were slower...

But instead all I ever gave you was Nettles

And I had the decency
To let you be...

Sword of the valiant
A promise of decency and honor
Man of justice and morality
Upright in decision-making
Remembrance of heroism
Aged for equality and pride
Investment of life and dignity...

Remember that time
you bought a gallon
of cherry juice--

And didn't
have the decency
to pour it into
a cup

Of course-- it fell

From the hand less bodies
reaching

-- amiss

I couldn't help but notice..
all the cracks it filled....

Mr. Racist, Mr. Racist, 
fills with hate the empty spaces. 
Mr. Racist, Mr. Racist, 
of decency he'll leave no traces. 

Mr. Fugly, Tubby Racist, 
don't know how to tie his laces. 
Buggy Nubby, stupid racist, 
don't know how to be courageous....

The Deep fake era is upon us 
?Every thing is fake these days?Everything is a fraud ?Prepare for the deep fake world 
Fakery, fraud, and falsehoods abound
All artfully done 
Killing the last shred of human decency left
Everything is a deep fake 
these days...

Words drift through lips so easily,
disbelief to broken promises made recently.
Void of decency,
although shrouded in secrecy.
Absent is life’s leniency,
awakened to unforgiving reality.
Heart yearning to rest peacefully,
so it seems souls never love evenly....

Modesty antedates clothes and will be resumed when clothes are no more. (Mark Twain)

When Adam donned his fig leaf
Was a sense of decency assumed.
When sons of Adam
Again find it cute
To be comfortable
In their birthday suit
Will simple modesty be resumed.

Undress me with your eyes and our connection will not last,
give me the decency to listen to your heart, as your words caress my soul. 
Let our minds collide by laughter and a hint of smiles. Open up my affection
with all of your truth. Care for me now and I'll always love for you....

In truth hypocrisy lies
Fermented in the divine

A psychotropic shed of moral skin
Manifest entropy our destiny sink or swim

Unto others we do lest it be done to us
Lost in translation is decency and trust

As vanity informs our social dialect
When studying a mirror is there anything but regret...

That's what you are
A Blessing
Formulated in Love
Descended
from the Heavens
You bring such Joy
that is hard
to put in words.
In a sense
you're a miracle
with grace and decency.
There were times
when you
saved my life
just by 
being in it,
something I can never
repay you for.
Believe it
For It's True!...

Labor Day

A day recalling

Past doing and achieving..

And demanding of decency..

Working and supporting

Abundance speaking..

Ideal colorings bringing

Nostalgic happiness..

Enter the pandemic

With stirrings and fear..

Yet..perhaps pointing to

Our unknown Livelihood:

Abundance unbounded......

Comment On Decency And Morality

This ole earth sets its unholy record
as sin is so often celebrated
The bad walk with chins and chest puffed out
streets danger from the inebriated.

Robert J. Lindley, Feb 2nd 1971
Quatrain

Note; My friend Jimmy, died this last weekend due to his driving drunk.
A completely needless act....

In a wild, frantic fairytale
Could you name a character 
Whose heart had failed her
In ways that mine has?

With a bitter flame inside my chest,
I pledge I'll never try again.
I plea with grace and decency
With every attempt to flee the scene.
With every attempt to leap into flight.
To let down my white flag,
Stay in and fight....

got a basic sense of decency
willing to lend a helping hand
a kindness in his heart
for principles he'll make a stand

rich he'll never be
money doesn't mean that much
tries to keep his faith
with the lord he stays in touch

he's not in any history book
was never in the plan
but leaves his mark none the less
just the average man...
