and the wolf that decides the flight.

Our nestled security
may be someone else’s inadequate perception
or worse yet
our accepted deception.

Excursive criticism
divulged from a heart fostered amid inequity
and uttered from lips born for deceit
will be our assailant’s nail chosen for distortion
forced through virgin flesh
and bent over to ensure the hurt.

to flank a valley than a fortress
it takes more voices to guard an opinion
than a truth!

THE HALFS AND THE HAVE NOTS
A wink is half a look
A grin is half a smile
A grip is half a handshake
A hug is half a commitment
A reply is half a conversation
A story is half a journey
