Ought To Be

If I don’t know How to raise my voice Then I should not shout If I don’t know How to accept the reality Then I should not rebel If I don’t know How to address a situation Then I should not trivialize it If I don’t know How to be an alternative Then I should not castigate the existing If I don’t know How to know something Then I should not conclude it doesn’t exist If I don’t know How much is known to me Then I should not mouth anything in entirety

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
