I Want

Human/kindness

I want so many things, 

where do I begin?

I want the sun to shine in smiles

and people to be kind

no poverty, war a thing of the past

appreciation for simple tasks

Seems people run around in a daze

forgetting what really counts

it's all about love, empathy and charity

if our hearts were full 

and our minds accepting 

life would be otherwise exceptional

Yes, I wrote this as a reminder 

for myself too, 

I'm not unlike you,

sometimes I forget the beauty

that exists in the simplicity, 

 miracle of miracles

 that we call humankind

[Ken Simm.]

Its good to give ourselves the odd aide memoire to be as complete a human being as we can.
"From my point of view, he can be called a remarkable man who stands out from those around him by the resourcefulness of his mind, and who knows how to be restrained in the manifestations which proceed from his nature, at the same time conducting himself justly and tolerantly towards the weaknesses of others."
George Gurdjieff.

we live in world full of wants and in our race to obtain all these wants we tend to overlook some of the most simple yet the most important aspect in life. This is a wonderful reminder to all of us.
