What’s The Good of VALUES...
If They Can Just Be ABUSED...
And Be Changed Like A Tune...
Where The Bass Line Moves... ?!?

Because Values Today...
Really Leave Me Confused...
When They're Prone To Sway...
Like A Drunken Old Dude... !!!

It’s A Strange Thing To See...
How Human Values Can Be...
Subject To Change...
Like A Weather Vain... !!!

Changing With The Wind...
Before An Eye Can Blink... !!!

An INCREDIBLE Thing... !!!

When Values Switch...
Like A Batter Who Hits... !!!

Switch Hitting The Visions...
of... Values Forbidden...
In Old Scriptures Written...
That Are Linked To Religion...

Are Their Values Now GONE...
And Suddenly MISSING... ?!?

Now That Gender Belongs...
In Some Different Positions... ?!?

Where Young Men And Women...
Change From Their Beginnings...

Are Their Values Restrictive...
When It Comes To Young Children... ?!?

Are Family Values Now Under THREAT... ?!?

Because It’s Clear Some Reject...
The Idea of Parents...
Being of The SAME ***...

Can We So Quickly Forget...
The Values Once Set...
As Being Those Best...
For Our Development... ?!?

Who Constructed Them...
And Got To Select...
What Values We Hold...
And Choose To Keep Close... ?!?

Because Whoever It Was...
Seems To Have Gotten Lost...
And Lost The Plot of Right And Wrong...
And Keeping Them Strong...

That’s Right... VALUES...
Cos’ They Now Confuse... ?!?

And Seem To Be Weak...
Just Like All These Vaccines...
Or Do They Have Values...
That STAND STRONG Like Statues... ?!?

Do They Value Life...
And Give Us Protection...
From Viral Infections... ?!?

Are The Values PRECISE...
of These Big Pharma Guys...
When It Comes To Our Lives... ?!?

Or Is It The PRICE...
of What They Provide...
That They Value MORE...
Than Finding A Cure... ?!?

Do They Value PROFIT...
More Than Curing The Sick... ?!?

A Question That Deserves...
An Answer That Serves...
To Calm People’s Nerves...
In This Corona World...

Do We Value The TRUTH...
When It’s Found To Have Proof... ?!?

Or Still Value The News...
From Mainstream Groups... ???

In These Days And Times...
Do People Value Lies...
More Than Where The TRUTH Lies... ?!?

That’s A Line That I Like...
So I'll Drop It TWICE  ... !!!

In These Days And Times...
Do People Value LIES...
MORE Than Where The TRUTH Lies... ?!?

Do People Value Lines...
That DEEP THINKERS Write... ?!?

Or Prefer To Believe...
In LIARS... Fallacies...
And Thoughts of Fantasy...
That AREN’T REALITY... !!!

Do People Value Each Other...
Regardless of Colour... ?!?

Or Just Say Polite Things...
That Just Value LYING... ?!?

Which Is A Value That STINGS...
And Clearly STILL Lives...

The Value That ALLOWS...
People To Be Racist... !!!

Can Someone Explain How...
This Value ISN’T... EXTINCT... ?!?
When Folks Can Now Change...
MUCH MORE Than Their Name... !!!

Values Now Seem Strange...
And Have Now Rearranged...
Much of What They Once CLAIMED... !!!

To Be Things of WORTH...
That We Should Observe...
And Not Just Twist...
Like Tornado Winds... !!!

Because They’re...
DANGEROUS Things...
To Be... Messing With... !!!

When It Comes To Young Kids...
And What They’re Bred To Think....

Values COMPROMISED...
Can DESTROY Young Minds... !!!

From Their Family Life...
Right To Their Nine To Fives...

So Elders Need To Be Wise...
And To Recognise...

That To Value Money...
Over Our Lives...

Is A DANGEROUS Path... !!!

And That We Shouldn’t Embark...
On A Value System...
Where Nature Is Driven...
... Into The DARK... !!!

Because It CREATES...
Our... Human Race...
And Can’t Be Displaced...
Or Removed Like Waste... !!!

We Cannot Continue...
To Devalue The TRUTH... !!!

Because Only A FOOL...
Would Choose That Route...
And Forsake The Old Rule...

What’s Good For The Goose...
And For... HUMANS TOO...

Is To Stick To The TRUTH...!!!

Because In My View...
It Should TOP The List...

of What We Choose To.....

....... “ Value “.......
They do seem to be changing in some rather different ways.....
