Next time when you’re feeling important,
And your ego is in full bloom,
When you take too much for granted,
and believe you’re the best qualified in the room.
When you feel that you’re absence,
Would leave an unfilled hole.
Just follow these simple instructions,
And see how they humble your soul.
…
The red, the white, the stars and stripes—
They speak to something deep in you.
Not just to lands or lofty fights,
but to the kindness that you do.
When I was feeling down recently,
And I seriously wondered
Whether all over the planet,
People feel the same.
…
What does the world look like to you?
Is it big, is it small and do you feel big or little?
Are you sometimes afraid?
Does it sometimes hurt you, this small or big world?
…
If you don’t know the kind of person I am
and I don’t know the kind of person you are
a pattern that others made may prevail in the world
and following the wrong god home we may miss our star.
Sighed Mayzie, a lazy bird hatching an egg:
“I’m tired and I’m bored
And I’ve kinks in my leg
From sitting, just sitting here day after day.
It’s work! How I hate it!
I’d much rather play!
I’d take a vacation, fly off for a rest
If I could find someone to stay on my nest!!
…
A Coffin — is a small Domain,
Yet able to contain
A Citizen of Paradise
In it diminished Plane.
…
Is it the world’s goal to overwhelm me?
If so, world, then you have succeeded.
I am officially drained, overpowered by life.
