anarchy of self
warning signs are everywhere, but
nowhere do we seem to care about
what or who they were originally
meant to protect.
the beginning of the end, perhaps,
is too much reading between lines,
too little respect for original intent.

There seems to be no balance. Good post and disturbing, but that's the point.
ReplyDeleteCheryl, sometimes I wonder if there is balance. I tend to think there is, but we should always be observant of our surroundings. Much can be lost with so little attention!
Deleteoh my this is terrible...the defacing of public safety signs
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they vote and how
Suz, I doubt they vote, and probably a good thing. However, for the rest of us who do vote, are we giving proper attention to what's important, and are we doing enough to maintain our society so that anarchy and chaos isn't the norm?
Delete... and some would laugh ~ call it art! I'm with you on paying attention to what is really important!!
