Are you devil or disciple armed with forgiveness
or a rifle do you target revenge or salvation death
instead of creation can you see your self in others
eyes or are you the reason for their painful tears
Could you stand alone and hold your head high without
knowledge of wrong doing and greet those that trespass
against your good will and name with just repose
and not seek repentance within their wrong doing
Travel the rugged path less known without thanks
or gratitude to help those who will never know of
your deeds or gesture just to have helped your
fellow man and be happy within that knowing
Can you stand aside from popularity and greed
to be the one the lonely destitute need or are
you so focused on your own need of plenty failing
to see those who's plates are empty
We are all spirits clothed in flesh
born with free will to hate or help
our yesterdays are cast in deed and
decision tomorrow is free which will it be

Zigs,
An excellent introspective and inspiring write!
There’s much to think about!
“...can you see yourself in others’ eyes or are you the reason for their painful tears...”
“We are all spirits clothed in flesh born with free will to have or help”
Powerful words! We are free to choose the path we want to follow!

Zigs,
No worries my friend!
So, so sorry about your uncle!
Spend as much time as you can with him! It’ll mean so much to him!
We’ll catch up at another time!

A fine write Z. I myself leave out some punctuation, but not altogether. Some helps, I feel, so that it does-not-get-confusing-and-all-run-into-one!
Hi there so sorry for late reply having some family issues at the moment, yes you are right with your comment if I ever get serious I might start using punctuation ,,,,,,,,,,,zigs
