A Little Less of Me

Sometimes being right isn’t the right thing to be Sometimes one must fight to resolve things peacefully Sometimes through our silence we speak volumes easily Sometimes with closed eyes is the best way we can see Sometimes evil takes the lead in a good society Sometimes those who have no need receive the charity Sometimes we are intoxicated with our own sobriety Sometimes people learn their hatred through religious piety Sometimes there is a single truth in life’s duality Sometimes everything’s the same in the world’s diversity Sometimes lines do not rhyme in the best rhyming poetry Sometimes I could be much more if there was a little less of me

Magnificent well written poem. Strong in structure and outstanding in content. It puts a covetous gleam in this old poet's eye...... Jake
