Due

So much invested; energy & time.
Ignored my gut; which, predicted this crime.

Looking back on decades & money spent…
Dismissing instinct & its honest hint.

The shallowest thinker I ever met…
Eschews depth & creates character debt.

Owing all involved to smooth over rough.
Yet, the bill’s still due & collecting’s tough.

Awful persons oft want lies all around.
Not inclined to facts that level the ground.

They want love & praise that does not apply.
Too, fibs of flattery…rather than try.

I have zero tools to defend their choice: 
Deceit’s preferred over truth given voice.

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
