If the world is half bad
and half good
do the bad know they’re bad,
lie awake with it,
carry it like a stone
And do the good know they’re good,
wear it quietly,
without needing to say?
Or is it the other way
the bad sleeping soundly,
certain of their righteousness,
while the good doubt everything and lie awake at night.

Powerfully penned, Peter. Another clever write my friend. Nicely done. Appreciate you.

Good question. I know what I believe. I think all too often, the bad have buried their conscience so deeply they no longer hear it. So it’s the good who lie awake. Just my 2 pence worth
