Difference & Between

The difference between reading and learning
Between judgement and understanding
Between thinking and realizing
Between hearing and listening
Between feeling and sensing
Between space and distance
Between looking and seeing
And between hope and faith
Is the difference between
Information and knowledge
And between opinions and wisdom.

Trust & Heart

To continue to trust
In spite of those few
Who are not trust worthy
Is to live with a big heart
Instead of a frightened one.

Anger & Power

Only those who feel angry and powerless
Can justify discharging their powers
Regardless of the human cost.

Society & Censorship

If we withhold
What we should say
Or what we aught to do
Because of what ‘they might say’
We are submitting to social censorship.

Excellence & Criticism

Excellence
Can not be achieved
With passion and effort alone;
It requires both, severe self-criticism
And open mindedness to criticism by others.

Together & Apart

When two find one another
And it’s a perfect fit
So not to stray or smother
They still must work at it
For should they choose to wander
Each might land in a pit.

Theories & Truths

It takes a long time
For theories to be proven true;
And while only few theories
Are ever proven true
Most of them continue
To delude the many people
Who continue to believe in them
Long after they have been disproved.
