Tell me your thoughts
on the world today…
Why each minute in civilization
forces you further astray?


“Speak of glass houses-
that no longer exist?
How men cast stones-
led by iron fist?”

It can’t be so bad, friend-
(just push and shove)
What about this freedom-
we brag so freely of?


“A money populated society-
deems no one free…
Corruption runs it’s course,
not sensitivity…”

Retention of progress-
belated concert?
Higher communication-
exactly what can this hurt?


“Blatant bitterness,
(you must think of me)
Retention brings hatred,
drown about by degree…

Where’s the retention-
of song and innocence?
The love of simplicity-
not the building of fence…”

Suppress the foundation-
terror in defiance,
Won’t there always remain-
cacophony in silence?


“Be that as it may
I shall not overstay”

“This world becomes less-
than my ideal design,
I believe it’s just safer-
to reside in my mind…”

A vacation
I’d say
is long overdue…


Open arms can be the most fragile in the world...

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Tanya, this is so very sad, sweet friend, I feel that much of the corruption is the world is to blame on money, though there are also other problems and I too wish I could take a vacation, though the sorrows are everywhere and it can be so hard! (sad sigh) Always follow your heart and try to always find solace in what's good in life, sweet friend, my thoughts are with you, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Tanya, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
