You take the moral high-ground Preaching words of conviction Like a howling wind High above me Perched Unruffled.. On your limb of ignorance Gabbling.. Cluttering my sky With unruly sounds You take the moral high-ground With your sanctimonious conceit Interwoven with.. Emotionless expressions Your mask of gloom Your moral high-ground Is.. The edge of doom < !signature--> The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose...--Hada Bejar [This message has been edited by Deborah1 (edited 07-30-2000).] |

I like this one, Deborah. This is a great summary of what good moral high ground is. I especially liked: Perched, Unruffled.. On your limb of ignorance Great analogy! Reminds me of a squawking parrot. "And one day...the whole stinking world would be theirs..." -- Velvet Goldmine (Todd Haynes, Oscar Wilde and, unofficially, David Bowie) |

Deb, this one is really fantastic! "Your moral high-ground Is.. The edge of doom" What an image. And what truth. Blind fanaticism ... Lotharingia "Dreams are life, reality, creation" Miguel de Unanumo |

Deb, I enjoyed this one. I could almost feel the disapproval radiating out. Lovely Kethry Kethry. When dark of night steals your soul. Think of me and be made whole. |
