csn soneone please tell me how to stop being so paranoid
It's hard
There seems to be a lot of bad in the world
Real bad
But how do you combat that
If not with love
Right?
It's so hard to do
I try and fail absolutely miserably sometimes.
But I am trying my best
And I'm so sorry. To those of you I failed
As I tell my children
All the world has a right to ask of you
Is your individual best
After all
Only you can bring you to the table
I am compelled to write. It helps me digest and interpret my ruminations. Here I present them in complete truth.

More poems
(I'll correct spelling later, having an off day)
There are too many rules in life
There are too many rules in life
That's where we all get into trouble.
It's hard to follow all the rules
No one can do them all.
Not a single person
Not even a priest
Or haven't you heard
If we could just all listen to our hearts more
And obviously be logical to
The problem is that
Logical is different things
To different people
Based on our own heritage
Genetics
Upbringing
It all plays a role
Environment vs nurture?
Who knows.
My point is
There are too many rules
And no one following them
So really
What's the point?
I'm not advocating anarchy.
I'm advocating a little
Common sense
In the policies and procedures maybe
How can you not fire a teacher that humiliates and chastises children?
How can you not fire a police officer that says we should kill all "black lives matter" people?
Does that make any sense
To anyone
I'm not advocating against labor unions
The been great too
They got us our short (8) hour days
They got children out of factories
What I'm saying is we need
More love
Right
We need more compassion
In this world.
No one is perfect
But we need people to BE ABLE to stand up for the right thing
To do the right thing
No matter what
For example
And I know it's a really bad one because there are far too many sides to it. And I'll try to think of a much better one.
The government now is handing down one of the harshest sentences ever for treason
To someone who provided proof that the government is spying on its own people.
It seems to me she did he right thing
Maybe along the way she de it wrong
I don't know
But how can we chastise her for having the right intentions
But we need people to BE ABLE to stand up for the right thing
To do the right thing

Listen to that lovely Crosby, Stills & Nash song "teach your children".
