Upside Down 25/04/2014 by adeeyoyo 14 Comments . When the world is turned upside down And values stand on their head, When corruption is condoned And whistle-blowers victimised, What hope is there for upright men Who stand alone against this world’s insanity? . ©Denise G Allen, 25 April 2014 05:35 Advertisements Rate this:Share this:TwitterFacebookEmailPrintLinkedInGooglePocketLike this:Like Loading...

We must stand with the upright man or all hope is lost … and without hope all is lost.

Those who are not a part of the solution are a part of the problem. And then again from a certain perspective there is no separation.
“Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s.”
