Joe Maverick Poet Rhyme

Good people?

Good people.. I wish to say you are not perfect..Nor am I 'by the way..' so what makes us
Better.? Or worse for all that may.? To catch a mackerel I hear say,  you must offer a spratt.. 
So give to fortune? To gain by plan? always wanting is normal to almost all  human's
What do you want? I hear so often, like a second reality, like the yeast in some leven
How do we find equanimity? surceace' a more honourable role? I have watched many turn 
Some fall from a place' from bad to worse, while others climb unto grace' I take nothing
As granted, yet cherish each chance to learn, as we travel in this most human race'
Wondering are there some? Whose want is pure? Placed by God..Whom wish just to
Be secure.' And just will the same, for others while here, drawn by the spirit built to adhere!

Marugu Mo March 22, 2024 at 10:33 AM Well yeah, good people do exist(as we oft judge according to our perceptions). I think the key to being good is being self aware and being comfortable in that light. Like your poem says, imperfections are part of the human condition, but we are here anyway. Words of wisdom Joe Marugu Mo March 23, 2024 at 5:29 AM That's the big question. When do we know we are good. I guess we can never know. We are all flawed, and in that case I guess it's the effort that counts Joe Maverick March 22, 2024 at 12:19 PM Thank you for; sifting through Marugu Mo..' Thank you.! I was Thinkng a few days ago, many Say life is a learning curve..I hope in this situation I will try To view both ends of said curve Better to know how far I have to go.?

Kim Rodrigues March 17, 2024 at 5:20 AM I often wonder why some find their way, stay on the good way, maybe some occasionally slip on the border but continue along the path of life & why others cling to the bruised and forward path, again perhaps sometimes stepping into good works but slipping into the way that leads to death… a mystery… Joe Maverick March 17, 2024 at 12:25 PM Thank you Kim' for your thoughtfull imput good to See your thouhts.'

Joseph P. DiMino March 16, 2024 at 6:45 PM It is never enough: always grow the business, more jewelry, get a bigger house~ second and a third and a forth...just to serve in the City Council, then the congress, and then a mess of a president. No guilt about anything -- one can justify anything in his or her own mind and heart. Never enough. Never enough. Never enough. I wonder if God will someday shout a thunderous~ Enough!!! Joe Maverick March 17, 2024 at 1:38 AM Yes Joe Dimino, such is the case May God bless you!!
