Do not give
the laurels to friends
nor to yourself
if they do not merit
their worth,
for lies
will come back
to haunt the solace
of night.

laurels scarce
in a hurried world laurels are sometimes just fleeting
moments needed for the flavor of the time..
a haunting they will go

Always such wisdom projects of the humanistic colors in life. And it is true,what you've so eloquently proposed here. Most can see through heavy doses of faux flowers too. It's that hungry ego that tends to buy the bull more times than not.

Wonderful. Should be plastered on posters throughout the world. Would you send your muse over to work for me for awhile... mine is kind of silly.
Write On!
