Many ways to go

Proverbs 10:17 

17 The one who heeds instruction is on the way to life,
but the one who rejects rebuke goes astray.

 

 Ways

 

There are only two ways to go ... or is it four I count?

Forward, side-ways, to the left ... or backwards at slow pace

and if I turn and start to run ... will I then go backwards

a practice that is often done ... in the fallen human race?

 

Some move far to the right ... but only in opinions

for they live on the left ... at the expense of another class.

Let us go up they call out ... going down the stairs

and what goes down can’t go up ... it’s just another mess.

 

Movement always ongoing without rest even when asleep

going to where we’ve been ... thinking we’re progressing.

Maybe in the realm of things ... we’ll move at faster speed

when our body is dead and gone ... where the way is tested.
