SIMPLE MINDS

Sometimes it's the simple truths

that are hard to look in the eye

so used we are to fabrication

and the obligations of disguise,

 

Just for today try to be honest,

let the raw dogs out of your house

to scramble to their heart's content

while you let them go and search for offal

not your concern.

 

They might have their place

but yours should be seasoned

with sprinkles of simple stardust

come down to earth

to meet your willing mind.

Thanks all your likers: Graham David Jennifer Jon Heart of Lead and Devon - nice to know people are reading my stuff.

And thanks Don for expressing that and Josie I guess it is an entreaty of sorts. We all need to look on the bright side.
