Something GoodA Poem by Maryam MottahedehSomething Good We have come this far Our species has survived Our goodness has survived Our madness though along A hiccup in the continuum of our goodness This basic goodness has carried us Is the glue of our of survival
A pivotal point in perspective Yes it is a fact Goodness has already prevailed The fact remains That we have not self destruct There is something good Something inherent And it is all around us Our will to survive There may be mold on the tree, a cut off branch But the promise of tomorrow The promise of light Is carried in the seed And there it lay in the truth of our hearts Something good Perhaps more readily transparent Through the ignorance of ego And its expression of greed Still something good already there Still as a stream on an autumn night reflecting the moon Reflecting the backdrop of our mind This feedback itself is good And our will to survive To navigate through and turn on the light It is up to us And our inheritance right there with us© 2014 Maryam Mottahedeh |
