THE TOOL CALLED COMPASSION...

Compassion is a word which many do not understand,
Though it is needed greatly, throughout every land...

Compassion is a derivative of love, to reach out,
To alleviate all suffering, pain, and doubt...

Compassion is brotherly respect, honor, and care,
As we realize that the world is a place to share...

Compassion can make the difference in the life of anyone,
Actions which should naturally be done...

Compassion is the way to end world hunger, and poverty,
Ah, if only we took the time to comprehend it, we would surely see...

Compassion is inbred, though few implement it in a day,
Instead, they are more concerned with their own way...

Compassion is a tool, which if used, would change so many things,
Far more effectively, than what lack of it brings...

SOCIETY REACTS TO ECONOMICAL DISASTER...

With the current state of affairs,
There lives the mentality of,
An uncertain fate,
As the world despairs...

Suicide is rising, depression is all around,
People fear the worst,
From economical strain,
It is a time, when desperation does abound...

Criminals are being made out of good women and men,
For they know not what else to do,
The cost of living keeps escalating,
While incomes are the same as way back when...

There are many factors to blame,
Politics, mismanagement,
Overpopulation, these are just a few,
Indeed, it is a whole new game...

Panic strikes some deep inside,
Anxiety has become a way of life,
There is much negative emotion,
Which, in these days, is difficult to override...

It is time for people everywhere, to learn a lesson or two,
To reinvent the 'norm',
Move forward in differently unique ways,
Like it or not, complacency, allowed the worst to come true...

ONE WITH A SUMMER DAY...

The sky, a mass of the most beautiful, peaceful blue,
With soft tufts of snow white clouds passing through,
Breezes lightly touching me,
As I enjoy a day, pleasant and sunny.
Surrounded by the city, yet, seemingly removed by far,
Basking in the wondrous magnificence of how things are,
Sounds of nature, frequent my senses, birds and bees,
Every now and again, a butterfly appears, amongst the grass and the trees,
I am filled with gratitude for this time to spend, engrossed in nature's complex simplicity...

PROCRASTINATION VS. ACTION...

Procrastination,
Equates devastation.
Refusing, or declining to adhere to,
What I need to do;
Leaves me with feelings gone astray,
As if I have done wrong this day...

Action,
Equates satisfaction.
As the more I accomplish for me,
The faster I realize any given fantasy;
If gain be the motivation,
I choose that over procrastinations devastation....

It is simply mentality,
Which hinders or guides me,
I am free to decide which way to go,
It is totally my own show,
Of which I am producer, writer, actor, and audience,
Yes, it is all up to me, the end result void of blame or pretense...
