Hoping To Reach West

It is the right thing to do
Often people say
And indeed they do
What they think is right

But more often than not
What they think is right
Is not the right thing

Ironically

In fact
Much of what people think is right
Cannot be further from the truth

Because the truth
Is not something that can be realized
Without direction

A ship heading south
Cannot reach west
Unless it changes direction

And south
Is where most people are headed
Hoping to reach west

Almost Hopeless

It just goes to show you
That age really does not matter
Or determine
How someone acts or behaves

Maturity has nothing
To do with age
Mentality does
And knowledge may increase
But maturity? No

Adults are actually more unreasonable
More stubborn
And definitely more intentionally evil
If they are not unintentional

Just because you can smile
While cussing at someone
Speak in a gentle voice
While plotting evil
Does not make you mature

The hypocrisy
Of putting up a nice face
Not even aware of the hypocrisy
Feeling good for acting all so nice
Actually believing in the act

Fake smile
Fake humility
Fake show of nobility
Everything all manufactured
Is nothing short of abhorrent

It is no wonder why
Jesus said the kingdom of heaven
Is for those such as the children

It is almost hopeless
