# thirty.four

so much of what is considered truth or factual
is what we want to hear
it is within our own agendas
not to stray from anything,
on the contrary

the evil of the world is never not within us,
and will remain,
if we stay only with the like minded
frightening as it may seem,
we are really as dark as those that remain,
the villains and insane,
when our deepest desire is to do the same

the hero can be defined
as one that sees all humans as equal
fearing not the home they share,
au contraire
but in love with the tranquil garden
that needs care

In this time we must draw in love and protection for it is the remedy of the cruel temperament that is at hand. Maintaining stability even when others are not, reminds us and others of the strength needed to remain tall and confident, to face the emotional turmoil that has become our norm. Deceit is not truth and truth can not be held in a lie. A heart that contains love can protect, not just self but humanity able to feel it.
