Red & Lavender

So, Joe McCarthy died of hepatitis.
The ringing irony gives me tinnitus.

The hypocrisies done by men, self-righteous;
Prescribing that all but themselves be pious.

Born of privilege, or just stolen from others…
Tout values as aegis for their own druthers.

Impoverished of moral compasses, these.
Bound & beheld by a crucifixion’s geas.

No more let the powerful litigate right.
Time’s fullness has proved what they did in the night.

Follow faithful your sense of good & of bad.
We’re born with knowledge; most forget for some fad.

I see the world through a Painter’s eyes and process it with a Poet's Heart....it's quite a harsh place for the soul. It scratches and wears your true self down, at times, but the Beauty is Addictive. I feel for everyone I encounter. Everyone I encounter is a teacher if I'll let them be. I Empathize with everyone I talk to & I Think about Everything-LEVi
