On Being a Better Human
the art of being
a better human rests in
accepting kinship
and knowing that you
are not all there is, neither
insignificant.
there is a point to
it all – to being. you’re not
some arbitrary
bit of matter flung
from a misty void or thought
up from the mind of
a madman. you’re a
member of a grand body
intended to grow,
shape, praise – honor life.
you’re not meant to shrink away,
wallow in smallness
or worse – crush others
in your quest for distinction.
you must simply “be.”
