Me

 

 

Is it really all about me or you,

or

Is it all about us, the world.

 

Is winning the name of the game,

or

Is participation the name.

 

is it really domination,

or

Is it creating a space for the other to thrive,

 

Is it waiting for a space to be created,

or

Is it taking this space by virtue of my humanity

 

Is it ambition

or

doing my best while not trampling on others

 

is it the problems of this world,

or

Is it how can I alleviate this one person's pain,

 

Is it jealousy

or

giving thanks and praises for who I am,

 

In all these ors

I would choose the second,

For here is the contrary to the race,

It is not about being no.1

 

 

 

 

Author's Note

Reality is not about being number one....rather it is participation
