It’s not easy when it’s easy

Wolf in black sheep’s clothing

A fly on the wall

Better to hide under a rock

It’s literal

Such a shame

The sweet song lost in the wind

I hear it all

Even still

Silence is gold

Futile happiness

At $12 a pound

I bought 13

Just to make sure

It’s empty but it pacified me

Night owls suffer in silence

Life eludes them

As they lurk in the shadows

between the scenes

Of existence

Clairvoyance in the spirit

To edify the body

The battle is with in

To defeat one’s enemies...

Keeping closer to ones enemy is a start;

Converting foe to friend

Is a win...

Then feed them with a long spoon

Better to keep the piece

Than stir the pot

They can’t help it

Their a snake ....

Against the grain

Isn’t about beating them

Nor is it about joining them

Persistence with a plan

It’s harder than you thought

Especially with the unreasonable

They’re every where .....

Eventually .

It’ll be clear.

The hard way......

Scratch that

When persistence prevails

Your work ethic

Speaks

For itself
