Being A Decent Human Being
Poetry from the heart
Being decent isn’t that hard
We just need to be kind and have positive regard
For not just others but firstly ourselves
Without the fear of non-acceptance as we delve
Deeper into our consciousness and overcome
The hidden emotions frozen and numb
That somehow we might not be good enough
This taps into our core self stuff
It hurts to hate the self like this
Like nobody ever messes up, but that all goes amiss
As we focus on our own flaws and faults
Do we then attack ourselves or others in assault?
We forget that in some way we are all struggling
With life and its demands, we are all juggling
The good and the bad, in public and private
Internally fighting against our own disquiet
So come one and all, let’s stop this haranguing
Let’s calm our thoughts that are so loud and clanging.
Allow the silence of peace to emerge
To bring us all back from the awful verge
Of insanity that taunts us and makes us small
Let’s stick together and have an overhaul
Instead of criticizing ourselves and others
We shall uplift and motivate like sisters and brothers
Bring harmony home to hearts and minds
By being decent warm loving and kind.
