Poverty & Causes

Poverty is mostly
Environmental
Or mental
Or both.

Attitude & Situation

It's far easier
To change one’s attitude
Than one’s situation.

Beliefs & Powers

Show me a power that did not succumb
A force that did not become disempowered
An ideology that survived history’s bloody blade
Or a belief that did not fragment and become abused.

Powers & Conscience

There is no power with a conscience;
Powers aim to grow, self protect
And they suffer from hubris-
Whereas a conscience aims at justice
Protects others at self expense
And grows with humility.

Life & Danger

Life is dangerous
Only death is safe;
Everyone alive
Lives dangerously.

Injustice & Coping

One copes
With injustice
In four stages -
First comes anger
Then retribution ideas
Then realization of futility
Then the magnanimity of spirit
Summons forgiveness with a smile;
And that’s how the meek inherit the earth.

Life & Daath

All that one desires
After a long, beautiful life
Is a short, wonderful death.
