Being On The Left Or On The Right

Life is not about being on the left Or being unintelligibly on the right Bad people exist. A theft is a theft That's a crime. Good people are right All the time. Integrity and sincerity Matter. Respect and love matter Common sense is the mother Of our democratic values and decency A lie has no wings; it won't fly A plane has no wings either, yet A butterfly flies in the air like a jet Many lies are for sale, but I won't buy None of them. Because I know better I respect a man or a woman of honor And I abhor liars, thieves and con artists The world must denounce the racists And the narcissists who are destroying The beauty and the health of Mother Nature The lives of our people matter. Their future Depends on all of us who breathe, think and sing. Copyright © December 2020, Hébert Logerie, All rights reserved Hébert Logerie is the author of several books of poetry.
