A PROBLEMATIC SOCIETY

Folder: 
JOURNAL #6

other peoples' problems are not as well mine

but if I let myself think about them very long

my concern becomes quite genuine

I never offer nor apologize for some empty or

expected line

concern is common curtesy but judgment is not

considered to be quite so fine

yet everyone must choose which place to cross or not

when they walk along that imaginary line

and be properly prepared for what it is they are not

yet expected to find

unconditional love is truly the hardest of all forms

of love to define

but on the whole people can't seem to get passed the

idea of what is yours is yours and what is mine is mine

but until we do there will be no sharp enough knife

to cut through such collective vine

bold intensity is the necessary course needed to be

taken

for progress to be made perfect

for such a plan's initial design............
