we gather respect in grandiose fervor
silencing self esteem given at any cost
failing to love one another
is man's dereliction of spiritual duty
yet many do not see such fall shorting
for what it is
that prevailing emptiness
that keeps the greater feelings of love
for thy fellow man from taking root
and becoming the very essence
that always was the self
we are in an unnumbered many bound
to each other one by one
the beauty lies in our abilities or there the lack of
to stumble upon this primary understanding
before our limited time on this time plane
is done
blessedly for all
God grades us on a curve
of his undying mercy and compassion
yes
and best of all
ah yes
love.....................................
