Misguided

Twisted leaves fall silently to the ground

The circle of life continues around

Innocence will not stay for long

Ignorance with love is much too strong

Suffering from within is not meant or taught

Compassion for one is not sold or bought

With thought in narrow through a funnel you fall

The mind starts out big, but ends up too small

Hatred and Fairness, can they both be the same?

If you don’t know the difference, they can in this game

You do what you see without fault as you grow

Embedded in mind you reap what you sow

Sorrow is not what beginnings are for

Tomorrow and yesterday will equal much more

Too many with knowledge is what I concern

For the teacher to teach, must be willing to learn
