True Words Tuesday: Options







Apparently I had to learn this the HARD way.

Have you been guilty of this?

If so, what finally made you wise up?

Or are you trapped by the illusion
that if you only love him (or her) enough,

 If so, you'll learn all too soon
that the one who loves the least
holds all the cards.

Haiku My Heart i invite you to imagine living in peace one day at a time I have to admit that I'm finding it hard to celebrate the birthday of my country having declared its independence from Mother England, when the country was founded on institutionalized slavery, the idea that white men were created equal but but black men were less than and women weren't even considered. We tend to glorify the "all men are created equal" phrase without looking at the reality. We can do better. We must.
