WeA Poem by Drew Rose
"How can I pleasure myself?"
The most selfish of creatures With selflessness just an arm's reach away But we are so smart The peak of a mountain I slaughter, I kill, I destroy I eat, I laugh, I pray Colors the spectrum so wide Beauty so apparent Yet we are blinded by self We are quick to abandon when the waters are white Nature, a gift Only to be used irresponsibly Greed is deathly, always ready to consume We are given every tool But where is the instruction? A pebble in the pond Darkness external Light internal Benevolence the key, happiness the lock Selfishness is the vandal in our world History repeats, when will we learn? "How can I feel good?" "How can I be bettered?" Pain is not meant to be masked but endured The picture is large, We are but a morsel We are so complex Yet act feeble-minded "How can I pleasure myself?"
