The light they see, the shadows do LIE
The TRUTH they think revealed.
In this land of darkness the One does cry
For all those the TRUTH'S concealed.

In righteous indignation they yell
Yet never to understand.
From the darkness in which they dwell
They never reach their hand.

They cannot see the illusion
Hiding in plain sight.
They cannot see the darkness
Believing the illusion to be the light.

Mesmerized they sit and stare
not knowing what they see.
Thinking in JUSTICE they care
In blindness it will never be.

To point the finger, to lay the blame
Holding the head so high.
Shouldn't we lay our heads in shame
At some point before we die?

Will they cheer when they win?
A further obfuscation of TRUTH.
To never fully understand the sin
The TRUTH to remain aloof.

They continue to hack away at the branches
The ROOT to remain hidden from sight.
As time ticks by increases the chances
They disappear into eternal night.

Well put crimson, and a viewpoint that needs to be expressed. We have only so many years allotted to us to use for the general good or our personal greed. If at the end of it one can say that they leaned to the general good and did something to make this world better for each other and those of the next generations to come, fighting for the light to overcome this darkness we live in, the darkness of ignorance and greed- our state of aloofness- then we can accept that we did our best and tried to be the type of human the creator would expect of us. We would show that respect for this creation that is only natural for something as beautiful as this earth that we walk upon.

This is a top grade work and should be an inspiration to us all to get up and do what ever it takes to make this world a fair and balanced one for all to enjoy- not just those who decide what is and what was never meant to be. Possibilities are endless if we only can overcome our personal blindness to the real conditions in the world today and what we as humans can do to change them.

It's obvious now that we can't depend on others, including elected officials, to be sincere about solutions- IT'S UP TO US!!!. What will you say to your children and their children, on your deathbed, about how you acted during these crucial times for our planet and its inhabitants during this crisis of survival?

Thank you for your words and welcome back.

Thank you my friend.

In honesty, other than the short amount of time I needed to take care of someone I love, who in fact showed me what LOVE is, I never really left.

No matter how much I post, please understand I have not left the battle. I have taken it to a higher level.

Peace.
