Even The Higher Up & The Sorriest Of Us Are Not Infallible...

A Striking (Prose) Poem...

You don't have to Tell how You live each day...
You don't have to say if You work or play...
A Tired True Barometer Serves in Its Place...
How Ever you Live It Shows in Your Face..
The Fake,the Deceit, that You have in your Heart...
Will not Stay Inside where It 1st got Its Start...
For Sinew & Blood are Thin Veils of Lace...
What You Wear In Your Heart,You Show On Your Face...
If Your Life Is Unselfish, If for Others You Live...
For not What You Can Get, But, How Much You Can Give...
If You are Close to (God) in His Infinite Grace...
You Don't Have To Tell, It Shows In Your Face...

IN YOUR FACE........TRASK....

Etal: Your Moneys (Greed),Material Thing's ,Real Estate, Valuables That
You Own May Make You Believe (Think) You Are A Success ____
I, TRASK Have Lived With Those Wealthy,And Those In Between,
I Have Been Down,Broke, But, I Am Not Poor____
I Would Rather Be Around Those Who are Really In True Need;
As Their Acts Of Kindness Mean More To Me, Are (God) Given;
To Me What Little They Have, They Try To Care,And, Share ---
Seeking No Thing In Return, But, Your Friendship...

If You Live To Be 195, And You Have One True Friend Who's
Still There In The End,i.e. All The Rest Be But Acquaintances,
Consider Yourself Fortunate...
