The Gift Of The Solution

by Michael Charles Messineo — Read all 96 poems by Michael Charles Messineo

Sometimes the solutions to your problems are right in front of you. You need to look inside for answers and just trust what you find.

Thursday, May 17, 2007

 

The wall of separation,

 dividing right from wrong,

sometimes hides the moral path, 

whose list of things is long.

 

The goals of desperation,

 that push us to extremes,

sometimes runs from friendship, 

confused, not what it seems.

 

The list of admiration, 

the ones that we compare,

pushes the false values, 

away from truth or dare.

 

The gift of the solution, 

the one we seek to win,

starts with our own thinking,

 the answer deep within.

A very deep and thought provoking poem,
very well written, the rhymne and meter, as Eileen Waldron has already said was excellent.
Thank you for sharing.

Very deep insights my friend and you are quite right, we can question all we want but usually the answers are already known by us we just don't want to accept them or their consequences
