lnl Hearts Way

bending currents releasing old,,,

lost wrong way feel hearts choice,,,

love walking practice,,,

finding art in one,,,

l earth water growth cocreate healing...

Sometimes the world contradicts itself-
what is a person to do?
Understanding there are some flaws in life,
only follow that which truly believes in you.

People say that rules are to be followed;
others say they’re to be broken.
When others ask if they could be bent,
it’s usually the violators that have spoken.

While others are punished for their wrong-doing,
as it’s the same as the others that did wrong:
The judge may pull a few strings,
if the right amount of money comes along.

High officials talk of feeding the poor-
yet they never drop money into a transient’s hat.
While they think politically to ‘con’ the economy,
their wallets continue to grow more fat.

Environmentalists say to “save the earth” -
when our oceans... the oil spills will defeat.
And, some take care and feed the oil-covered birds,
while hungry people have nothing to eat.

Some people in the world are still very ignorant,
as they say to stop racism... they only try.
For example, they put a ‘Help Wanted’ ad in the news,
stating, “People of color are encouraged to apply.”

Sometimes when the world contradicts itself,
it shows its true self with its shame.
Should you live a life of total honesty,
you’ll not be the one to blame.
