I had it yelled at me once, "you don't even know what love is!" At first the accusation put me on the defensive But the examples to me of laugh, love, live Has always been top tier corrosive, a wildly destructive narrative ©2024

The pre-dawn rang as cat choirs sang in waring gangs sharp and rank before they sprang with claw and fang. Isn’t it an overweening piety to think that diverse cat societies would address conflicts more politely observe more cultural propriety and politic more peacefully and quietly than our own species, which behaves so violently Are we not, in part, their masters? Don’t we war for goals we’re after? Aren’t some of our leaders practically gangsters? Humans are - frankly - alpha-predator ******** Does any species author more disasters? If the language of cats, we could unscramble, and into their feral dialogs we could wrangle, perhaps we’d see that they’re just following our example.

Everyday I swear is a hassle to just get up, but it never stopped you from getting the mountains. I cry and whine but really I'm just walking my mile for the first time. Though my shoes are already, seems like my gear is always falling off. Trying so hard to keep it steady I look at your directions on what you did but can't seem to see how you did it. I see you napping on the bench Right where he used to let watch cars go by. His bus finally picked him up So you decided to take his place and take a break. So while you rest and replan your task's I'll be on the side calling out your name. Cause you set an example and set a route for me. I'll run my course and set it out right Pass the torch and send the map Rest, Can, Man, I will make this right so they can run their course with a guide.

You told me lying was a sin; You lied. You told me cheating was a sin; You cheated. You told me adultery was a sin; You cheated. You told me stealing was a sin; You stole. You told me cursing was a sin; You cursed. You told me dishonoring my country was a sin; You dishonored my country. You told me to keep my promises; You didn’t. You told me to live by the Golden Rule; You didn’t. You told me to be careful of the company I keep; You aren’t. You told me to help those poorer than I; You don’t. You told me to be an example to youth; You aren’t. A question arises, by and by; Is everything you said a big lie?

WHAT YOU TOLD ME

You told me lying was a sin; You lied. You told me cheating was a sin; You cheated. You told me adultery was a sin; You cheated. You told me stealing was a sin; You stole. You told me cursing was a sin; You cursed. You told me dishonoring my country was a sin; You dishonored my country. You told me to keep my promises; You didn’t. You told me to live by the Golden Rule; You didn’t. You told me to be careful of the company I keep; You aren’t. You told me to help those poorer than I; You don’t. You told me to be an example to youth; You aren’t. A question arises, by and by; Is everything you said a big lie?
