Influence ...

Jeremiah 13:23 

23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard its spots?
Then may you also do good who are accustomed to doing evil?

 

Influence

 

Lovely day is starting now. Will I make a choice?

Early in the morning ... do I form my attitude?

A few hours into it ... as disaster raises its voice

will joy turn into mourning ... halting my fortitude.

 

Are we prone to give in to ... what happens all around us?

Are we destined to be formed ... by events that do confront?

Is the environment so influential ... that we’re only to be found

by self in particular ... through the schemes of changing fonts?
