YOU
CAN'T

BE
TOO
CAREFUL ! David
CLURE

A TRAIN IS NEVER FREE

WHEN IT 'S DE-RAILED ;

A VICTOR WHO HAS

CHEATED,

STILL HAS FAILED.

AN IMITATION LOVE

IS NEVER

R E A L,

A LETTER NEVER

WRITTEN ---

NEVER MAILED.

AND NEWS THAT

NEVER HAPPENED,

M A Y BE TOLD.

LIKE STOLEN HOUSES

STILL MAY BE

SOLD.

these days, MOST

ANYTHING

CAN BE CONTRIVED,

AND POLISHED EXPERTS

MESMERIZE so MANY with

THEIR PRE-FAB LIES.

BE CAREFUL

WHAT YOU BELIEVE.

BE CAREFUL

WHAT YOU VIEW and LISTEN TO.

for WOLVES are WEARIN'

MUTTON STEW.

BE CAREFUL.

Simple imagery to shine a light on inerrant spiritual truths. I agree with your encouragement to be careful about what you feed yourself with. We all become what we eat - physically, mentally, and spiritually. Thank you for sharing David. Merry (Christ)mas... rlc

I believe those wolves would smell like a mighty fine meal. But understanding what is right more than how one feels.

Whichever way this world is going, it is not likely one that I would prefer to live in, but then again... For those who are born into the advancement of technology they will not know the world that we had come from. To them, everything may be progressing as it should be. It's the difference in time and era that causes the difference in our points of view.

But I agree with you, it is quite confusing now to know who is lying and who is honest. For our future generations, the world will belong to them, not us. They have to make that decision as who to trust.

Question everything.
Interesting treatment of how we should approach the increasingly fake world we find ourselves living in.
