Can We Get To That

CAN WE GET TO THAT… Unspoken thoughts of truism Pretending as we practise altruism Why do we do what we do Why say what we say Is it for ourselves or Another’s bouquet In our fallen little paradigms Do we feel consuming obliges To make others worlds completed When ours is sadly depleted Can we get to that…??? Point of self recognition Complete in our own cognition? The battle of obligation Vs. our self preservation This is our earthly demise We live in constant Compromise © Kim van Breda—11 December 2014
