there are laws of the Almighty
laws of mankind
using the Almighty's as a blueprint
these laws are supposed
to keep us faithful to the One
and law-abiding
to the government
mankind sometimes steers off course
for neither God or Government
are always justified
I, for one
shy away from certain laws
there are so many laws on the books
there isn't a day goes by
ordinary citizens do break them unaware
they are doing so
we are made to walk the walk
I feel like an alien
dropped down on a world
confusing
to say the least

I continue to admire your signature, Jerry. You say so much truth here, truth that does confuse the wise and the unwise.  Tenses get mangled a bit as well as verb/subject agreement, but your meaning comes through just fine.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

I know I am rude, crude and with not much class, I do what I can . . .

On the contrary, Jerry, you say so much in your works. Again, I love your approach to lined paper in your signature. It is so freeing...going agains the "establishment" without creating an uproar, hehehe, love it!

Thank you, Virginia for your kind words.
