The more you have, the more you're occupied; The less you have, the more freedom you own...Mother Teresa


Poem Artwork


We live material
love uncomitted
breed without feeling
look the other way
vote unlikely
with dedicated ignorance
die all the same
without material
dust to dust.

Yet we are successful, in all our ignorance, to survive by destroying all other life and trashing our nest.

Most will ignore your words of wisdom riding their ego trips.

Humanity and it's priorities certainly seem skewed.
Me Me Me Me Me Me Me Me! It's a miracle, these days,
that altruism is actually a pursuit anymore for some.

Strong message said in the simplest of terms but no mistake of it's meaning. You grab the reader's attention and keep it till the soul awakes to listen.

our biggest flaw is that we are human but we we forget that we become monsters your thought is deep and understanable.. sad but yet complete with it its ending..

Susan,

Much to ponder in these lines - WOW. And that image - a StormSpinner type of piccy if ever there was one! 'Course, I wouldn't get that CLOSE ... LOL! Well done.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Jeez! Susan. Mother Teresa had her image and life's work to do. She considered herself rich I am sure. I am a poor man, but I do not begrudge people who have money. Never will, except in certain cases, there is a line drawn. I am certain she would have liked to strip all the fat cats of the world and give the money to the poor. If that had happened in five years the nouveau riche would be back living in their tar paper shacks. Sorry for the rant. Naw, I'm not . . .

Simply put, a race to the finish line and when it's all said and done, death could care less what we've acquired in material wealth, but rewards in the afterlife for all of our unselfish good deeds of spiritual significance...karma is attaching its particles to the toxic souls as we speak...dust to dust, and the specs on society's stain...

Love,
Sage
