STANDING FOR THE TRUTH

I feel so sorry for those
Who tend to lean the wrong way
And depend on morsels of news
To give affirmation to their views
 
Somehow, along the way,
They have been dragged into
That web of society which
Tends to disrupt the natural flow
Of sane and working people, who
Have found success by following
The precepts of natural being
 
Which means being prepared and
Involving themselves in action
Rather than observing it from a distance
And then criticizing the efforts and
Creating obstacles which attempt,
Although foolishly, to stop progress
 
They are the Pied Pipers for the Devil
They will distract many and because
Their false promises of utopia
Which cannot be sustained, but are
Convincing attract followers and
By narrative, blind them from the truth
 
How unwise these followers are
They have left their safe harbor,
Their shelter, for what they call life
But this is not life
It is spineless existence
A scheme of evil which whittles the heart
Where false hope and doubt exist
 
Who of those who have lived life
Would cherish and long for this
Only the sad who feel that fulfillment
Comes by languishing in the den of evil
