Inducing Feeling
To comprehend but never really know.
How I feel is often based upon What I see, hear, and think about.
Confounded as either cat that does not care, Or a dog roaming in multiple environments.
Both pets survive through good fortune, Or celestial probability.
Dwelling on Decency
Decency is on my mind.
Negativity never prevails And that everyone has opportunities for positivity – And that seems to continue with or without you or me –
Decency is on my mind.
With greatness or weakness And continual beauty triumphs – And in seconds that becomes decades –
Decency is on my mind.
