What Purpose?
Monday, February 12, 2007
Sons and daughters
you needn't be strong to withstand
the coming hardships.
Instead,
remain vulnerable,
willing and helpful.
Truthfully observe
your every move,
thought, and
whisper.
and ask
What purpose does this serve?
Take a long look at the things
that disgust you.
What purpose does this serve?
Why do you flinch,
revolt, spew anger,
and strike out at the innocent.
You are a mere human
yes
but deeper and deeper
there is more.
What purpose does this serve?
And when you finally
know yourself
you will know others
because we are one.
Be kind.
