-- Blessed By Beauty Beauty --

John Herlihy

 

We admire beauty

We fulfill our duty

We pray in solemnity

We praise majesty

We unveil mystery

We abhor poverty

We seek prosperity

We thrive in honesty

We stand on integrity

We rely on sincerity

We pursue plenty

We uphold dignity

We get lost in mystery

We get found in certainty

 

-- Blessed in Beatitude --

John Herlihy

 

We shun servitude

We live in rectitude

We rest in quietude

We thrive in plenitude

We strive for certitude

We blessed in beatitude

We strengthen in fortitude

We feel serene in solitude

We stand by promptitude

We calculate in exactitude

We keep clear of turpitude

We never speak platitude

We can get lost in attitude

We get found in gratitude

Were the "we" only of the greater population. Slowly, we are becoming just the opposite as a global society. The upside, as you so eloquently point out for those of us retaining sanity and consciousness, is what truly makes the species potentially miraculous. Thank you for seeking readers who understand, and those readers who don't yet have a clue.

I didn't know there were so many "tudes" out there to contemplate. Your mirrored poems give a lot to contemplate.
