Is It Wisdom, Or Just My Wisdom? 7.1
(i) Violence
Violence is never
The right conclusion
But it is expedient
Solving problems
At speed in the
short term
(ii) Revenge
Revenge is applicable
Where the crime is
An unspeakable one
And we can live with
The consequences
(iii) Religion
Religion is a disease
That infects and
Affects everyone
Even those who
Don’t believe
Or follow
(iv) Giving Up
Giving up on life
Is not to be ridiculed
Sometimes the choice
To stand and fight
Is not afforded
Or accessible
To all
(v) The Male Ego
The egotistical man
Can preen and beautify
But knows nothing of
Love, apart from the
Delusional Love
He has for himself
(vi) Addictions
Our addictions
Are not always illnesses
Some are just choices for
Things we love to do
A man who claims to
Be a sex addict is
Simply lying
All men are
Addicted
To sex
(vii) Dance
You don’t need legs
In order to dance
Dancing in the mind
Is always better
Last night I danced
Like Fred Astaire

If you’d of been around the time The Ten Commandments had been written, the world may have turned out to be a better place.

More pause for thought. So often your words leave me in a place of contemplation. The gears are definitely turning after this one, which is a good thing.
Thank you for the write.

These little tidbits of wisdom pack one helluva punch. Addictions...yup, those can be choices. And that last stanza was beautiful. Next time you cut the rug in your dreams, put me down on your dance card, will ya? Big squeezing hugs :)
