but I won’t
punch the computer keys
to let the world
see the words
because
the dear souls
which inspired
my verse
would feel pain
seeing
how their lives
turned out
so different from
the internal image
they imagine
Perhaps I’m
dead wrong
but if a glimmer
of truth plunges
a heart into sorrow
I’m not living
the Greatest Vow:
Do no evil
do much good.
