A Pinch of Civil Seasoning

back at the Arab Spring and now a Wall Street Fall citizens of foundering faith just wanna change it all believing in a higher purpose is passing the way of the horse power to too few, or many, versus the prospect of anarchy, of course can an untouchable or a herder share with a CEO or Senator can a cashier and a shop helper turn from a debtor to a creditor can people be allowed a chance to live small lives in big places without losing the race in advance beaten and broken, hopes displaced i mean, we all need to eat to live the emaciated and the obese, both there's enough Mother Earth to give every human some economic growth but economic growth must be balanced with growth of spirits' understanding lest our hearts' remorse need be penanced for greed blinded with misunderstanding if i want to break that monied broker, one of the few to own the power am i any better a worthy life-maker than him within his baubled bower civility begins with our forgiveness of others, and harder, of ourselves for the deep greed and covetiveness that all carry within their cells summer was hot and so too our passions lest we suffer the winter of our discontent let's follow our better desires with actions to say what we mean, then live our intent with some sage wisdom and a bit of thyme we might be able to curry some favor twixt one 'n' other's condiments sublime 'n' cook up a society we can equally savor © Goode Guy 2011-10-03
