In depth ideas, visions, belief may gently nudge your esteem to the knowledge you possessed before conscious thought

Maybe we escape dancing on those ideas that form belief and tell ourselves that is our root and branch drinking from nurture that must be there

In these fields of fancy we believe we know better but what is better.   Some idea that you dominate, know better, indoctrinated in background and thought you have belief

What is your belief and why do not understand to keep it like a treasure for bad times for strength in misfortune to use sparingly as some precious

Do you destroy more by your belief that you can conquer and decide?

Is this belief that which takes someone on a road with a knife?
For someone weaker
To rob
Or to find a career as a politician
Which makes it honest robbery

In a politician’s mind
We have surgical evidence of life although it is being worked upon
If they can just hold them still for long enough
To obtain their publicist’s name
And the torrent of denials

As if we cared

When someone is an honest politician we need to check that left and right are written on their two boots and illustrated of course

With hypocrisy
