Laura Hew Poet I do not know?

Prisoner In Our Own Minds

I
have
been living
in this North American
Culture
for
much too long

Too often
do we WHINE
about
such
MINISCULE PROBLEMS
that
we miss
the big picture

Let us
be able
to
pull
away
from 
our such extreme CENTRIC views
and
extend our viewpoints
and
we will
SEE
what
really
is the true definition of Difficulty


I am
Appalled
by
Life
IN
third world Countries
where
but a simple sip
of water
COULD
be the determinant
of
life and death


and here I sit
worrying
about
NOTHING

How did we
let
this get
so FAR
How did
we get
into this rut
this saftey zone
Prisoners in our own minds
but we
hold 
the KEY

Never rest
to save
the restless
Move along
or they
will be
breathless
