Note to self (10)
So when you are young
All is clearcut
Black or white
No fifty shades of greyish stuff.
It is when you grow older
And after Life slapped you
In the face time and time again
That you learn, perforce,
That Truths and Values and Morals
Do not have the same meaning
For everyone and that angels fall
And that the most siff in their beliefs
Fall the hardest.
Best to follow the middle of the road
And as the Brits have it
Keep calm and carry on.

Love these coins of wisdom and truth.
"And after Life slapped you
In the face time and time again" I think those slaps are a necessity to some as a wake up call.
Excellent verse sir.
