I guess we could detach ourselves and say, to each, their own Then isn’t it the folks furthest removed that cast the first stone To obsess on anything is not the answer, even for one who rants To me, it’s unhealthy and obvious that one has lost their balance Then there’s life altering events as in the one’s we cannot control Still others exist when we decide again to make Continue Reading...

My Street
