Written for a challenge on another site requiring the use of 10 specific words. The words were fallacious - fertile - fickle - fiend - flexible - force - frankly - front - fury - fuse. I did take some liberty with one word but I don't think I'll be sent to my room for it..lol
Leaves of Ignorance Seeds of hate and judgment Sown in fertile soil of ignorance Will thrive and the sap of flexible Truth will rise from fickle roots. Leaves of fallacious righteousness Adorn far-reaching branches and The force of contempt feeds in Fiendish fury upon those who dare Walk a different path, up front, Unashamed. Is this what fuels Anger and lights the fuse Of indignation... this acceptance And confidence? Will this ever change? Frankly, not likely.... Because the leaves of ignorance Never fall far from the tree. July 2007

Good job on the challenge, Myrna! The last two lines reveal a sad but eternal truth:
"Because the leaves of ignorance
Never fall far from the tree."
Well done!
