Who am I? …..by Indira
PROMPT#244
WHO AM I?
Why waste your time
Why worry day and night
In search of

Makehay while the Sun shines
Goddoesn’t help one

Projection is a far more common phenomenon than I ever thought of. Arrogance never admits folly. Their acts are just a faux pas, always meant to disappear in flames, labeled as a foul mood. But the core evil of intent is passed on to someone else as final judgment, transposed on another to provide relief … Continue reading Projection
