Your Worthlessness and Emptiness Irk
Widen your perspective and glide beyond and above the pride
Welling up in your chest, embarking on the sparkling quest
To eliminate and waste opportunities to progress as you ride
A high horse, assuming you taste victory in every vital test
You undergo to vindicate humility
As a far greater asset in reaching the apex
Meant for you as versatility, adaptability and agility
Raise the bar, demanding higher specs from your vertex
In education, association and emancipation
Where business as usual counts for nothing
Until pride withdraws its hand from your participation
In elevating altruism, heroism, and dynamism in every station
Your feet tweet and touch as you search for meaning in caring more
For everyone around you, great or small, poor or rich, ugly or pretty
Male or female, cursed or blessed, joyful or sore
Mild mannered or ill mannered, extravagant or thrifty
To contribute a great deal to developing your caring nature
Your self effacing repertoire of skills and insights to raise the bar of your usefulness
To neighbor and hermit, friend and foe, fad and culture
Because in the end no one benefits from your worthlessness and emptiness.
