Scruples Walls of convention painted in white, etched for the soul, rules of day and night . Squandered feelings, banished and chained, shells of hope, ruins remain. Damned if we do, damned if we don�t, make's one wonder, what�s the point! We are free, are we not? Or Are we yoked, by scrupled thoughts? Copyright 2001 Tracey L. Hardie

Outstanding write!
Trapped in the fears and pains taught to us by others before us!
I love the art work too, a perfect match!
Most Excellent!

Well said Tracey...good perceptions...what we really are is screwed up by too many old traditions and taboos that were never meant to be...taught by frightened parents/grandparents, and the worst offenders religious institutions...
