Perpetual----Shadow?...Hmm!

 Shadow!

The brighter the light, the more defined the shadow.

It's always there, especially in any limelight.

A sacred-chance! An unexpected-opportunity.

A once-in-a-lifetime opening to "Hit-it-BIG"!

And, All you got to do is---Cheat (lie)...just a "little".

Seems simple enough on the face of it!? Hmm!

But---the elephant in the room?...That "shadow"- conscience!

Always there!---Bothering your choices!...Straight & Narrow! Ouch!

In the last-decade '70's there was a "public-service" commercial on 

TV showing a set of car-keys that "safely" hanging on a rack with the 

verbal text saying, "Don't help a good boy go bad. Lock-it! Pocket!"

Today? I see numerous "problems" with that non-"woke" offering."

Bad-"Boy"!? Sexist! Racist! Homophobe! Prejudicial! Unfair! ???

But---obviously...I digress!? Really!? Hmm!? Let's just see!

"Good"-boys and girls don't steal cars whether you "help" them or not.

That "shadow"?---Conscience!...Ever-present "Straight & Narrow"!

Amen!
