Spin

Posted on June 15, 2011 | 32 Comments

Letting it sit there, on the road I go

I dare not go back, I must not go slow

No matter what the person, has to say

Knowing in my heart, that God has just paid

 

Going straight forward I have but to push

Because the next stop, could be an ambush

Not being paranoid, I just know my limits

If a tale could be told, I could spin it

    Very true words. We are all in a war, so must watch for ambush at all times. Highly thought provoking.

    Not to go back is the right choice. We are all tempted to spin. Good words.

    We can choose to move forward or turn back, be affected or not, gaurd our beliefs with vigilance or allow others to tread and wear us down. I really enjoyed the use of the word ambush. The brevity of the verses give a since of surprise. BUT… The duality of spin was the BIG winner with me.

    I adore your honesty… if a tale could be told I could spin in… and the connection of reality, mortality, spirituality.

    The wars we wage against ourselves are the worst, we really are own worst enemy. Very nicely done Booguloo
