Dishonesty & Euphemism

If we use a euphemism
Instead of calling a crook, A CROOK
We would encourage unethical behavior;
An honest person should have no tolerance
For dishonesty.

Friend & Time

Spending time with a friend
Especially when you don’t have time
Is time well sacrificed.

Promotion & Reality

Promotion and propaganda
Are far more effective
In affecting change
Than is evidence;
The human response to appeal
Wreaks havoc on what’s real.

Friendship & Time

Friendship circumvents time;
Friends resume where they had left
Regardless of how much time has passed.

Love & Peace

If we can go to bed
With love in our hearts
Then none of the thoughts
Which bothered us all day long
Will be able to diminish our peace
Because love always washes away
All worry, anger, hate, and pain.

Power & Riders

Those who ride power
Have no idea that power
Is the real rider that is riding them.

Truth & Lies

Those who tell the truth
Know how costly it can be;
But those who lie
Are always surprised to find out
That telling lies ends up being costlier
Than simply telling the truth.
