^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ********************************* what choice do I have when there's no other smile but my own looking in the mirror I see how sometimes its been borrowed a cup of sugar to make a better show for whom do I show my teeth I've seen no dentist for years the last one a clown whose smile was painted on only a fool would call himself "Warmflash" as if his reputation could be found within the lie of his name leasing his ersatz reputation from a Public Relations firm using the magic eraser to rid himself of any negative opinion coming from without so he doesn't have to look within no truth to set him free unless he himself is erased the entitled and rich can buy lies there is no price too great that prevents them we those who don't need fixing and do not cultivate tricks must listen to discern what's real reading between their lines deciding what's bread (truth) and who's the heel. this came to me after a very painful lesson those are the sort of lessons one must pay attention too without hearing them you are doomed to stay stuck Remember: The plant cut down to the root doesn't hate --it uses all of its strength to grow again.
