Human condition

Does our genetic code leave us predisposed to believe in a God or Higher Power?

Is Fear of Consequence enough to keep us from making the "right" choice?

Is fear of losing a lover or best friend or both, more of a driving force in making a decision that will allow you the best chance of keeping that person with you?

What causes defiance in an individual? Is it fear of the outcome if they "follow along"?

Is it a fear of the idea that if you've been roped in once it makes it easier next time ?

Can individuals have an actual physical/mental inability to being forced or coersed into conformity?

How To Create a Diversion

How to create a diversion

I lost and was amazed
Of how you tricked my foolish heart.
Deceit and then betrayal
You kissed and left me, in the dark.

But did you know, precocious thief,
That truth may alter you
For the wisdom of choice
Goes far too deep
Than clever words untrue.
The quest you took, my dear defeat,
Will question in the end
How vain a soul must
Pain repeat
And on its bliss depend.

I laughed and walked among
Your precious lanes with fiery sparks,
But I felt it all along-
You’d kiss and leave me, in the dark.

Cool reflection wails
Blowing jazz on riverbank
A tugboat plays bass

Mmmm

Mmmm - I feel good….

With a ‘Breath of fresh Ayr’
To start your day,
And 'Honest Men'
Along the way,
'Bonnie Lasses'
To help you stay,
Aye, Ayr’s the place,
To be today…
