Don’t lose focus of
where you want to be
what you have to do
and who you really are
j.g.l.
think about
how you treat one another
and another and another
truly
think about it
peace will not happen on its own
limited time and too many lives
will not prove otherwise
we still have not learned
nothing has been earned
crisis after crisis
world-wide localized
realize
we are not blind to
injustice and ignorance
or political will
world peace starts with you
and you and you
and you
think it through
let’s make today more than a why
decide right now
it is worth a try
we are not damned if we do
but damnation continues
if we don’t

We do what we do until we are comfortable doing it.
Uncomfortable, at first, it is a desire to realize our intention that pulls us through the process.
We try; we keep trying. Seeking satisfaction, we keep doing what we do. We may feel we are up to the task, but often wonder why.
Oh, the wonder of it all.
It takes a while to see results, but they are of less concern than the why and while it takes. It is doing more than seeing and being more than believing.
When it comes to anything, you need not ask yourself what you are doing or even why you need to do it. Instead, ask yourself what need it satisfies.

Moments when you ponder,
allow the psyche to wander,
another thought
will cross the time.
A question or fear,
however sublime, may
takes its place
among your earthly concerns.
Scant stanza of a poem you
might have heard in the confusion
of another day, sound enough
to consider anyway.
Decisions are formed with
subconscious intent.
What it means may not be
what was meant.
