Unraveling It All
I think of those legions who would suffer,
those people who have had lots less than me.
You think your life couldn't be tougher
until through their eyes, you finally see.
Squeeze out one tiny drop of compassion
to then see surely how far it could spread.
Actually not knowing in what fashion
it will brighten the dim lit road ahead.
We all sit so high, judging on our stools
prideful we know all about life, the game -
till thunderstruck wide awake by blind fools
to the truth that we all are made the same.
Unravel your ego, wipe your mind clear;
put to inner rest all your selfish fear.
