A pair of workman’s brogans encased my feet, and for trousers I was furnished with a pair of pale blue, washed-out overalls, one leg of which was fully ten inches shorter than the other. The abbreviated leg looked as though the devil had there clutched for the Cockney’s soul and missed the shadow for the substance.

for mankind in polished speeches
that are no more than vaporous winds
rustling the fallen leaves in autumn.

they gladly obey, for they like to betray you,
pretending to be sent from Heaven,
and lisping like angels, while they lie.

he always looks mocking and half-way angry.
You can see he has sympathy for nothing.

that he can love no one.

Love – Acceptance – Unity – Peace –Integrity – Respect… a strong, pure creed is short on words and long on nourishing ideas. For me, the longer the creed the more it has been diluted, manipulated, and spoiled. The results of this creed poisoning can be seen in the behavior of its followers. We have all heard the expression, “The devil is in the details”; my observations have led me to suspect this is true.
