Moderation Is - A Poem by M.N. Hopkins

Moderation is

Not too little, not too much

Freedom from evil

© 2026  M.N. Hopkins

Note:  I wrote this poem a few days ago in the haiku style of poetry and published it for the first time today, the 30th of March, 2026.  Moderation in all things was an ancient principle and practice and has been nearly totally forgotten in these chaotic times.  It will keep many dark things away.
