No need to run
The future will catch you
Don’t woo the cheap message
Peddled by the fear-mongers
The odds are not against you
They are idle stacks of numbers
The odds are not for you
Numerals don’t break a sweat
You are enthroned endlessly
In the center
Of the season of change
The climate of fear is looming
But the weather is still your villein
The boom showers they promised
Are forever impending
The mold for tomorrow
Lies between your palms
A man’s heart may lie to him
But his hands are never deceptive

Very appropriate for the times. The times that are talked about as impending doom; but really there comes such a time for every culture.

The times are an illusion, the mind is a trickster, the heart doesn’t lie but what does lie is the fearful tongue, and body language especially hands speak clearly of what the intent is. I just threw the added thoughts to your thoughts and yes I disagreed with you about the heart. The Inner Workings of the Heart do not go by the rule of man but by Higher Ways, based on Love and Truth. It is the imperfect man (who we all are) who interprets the Heart Whisperings wrong. You really got my thinking juices going on this one. Thank you! ❤
