Questions of Moral Proportions

Who are we to ask such things

Of pain, misery and heartache

That we wish upon others

Not thinking of what’s at stake?

Why must we prove ourselves

To those who do not matter

Causing all that we hold on to

And our dreams to shatter?

What is our malfunction

And how can we rid

Ourselves of this sour taste

That we are forced to bid

How can we achieve so much

And have such little respect

For who we are, what we want

It‘s due to ignorance, I suspect

When will we confront ourselves

Face to face with our reflections

Having to deal with our actions

And answering our own questions

The time has arrived for us all

To take a good look inside

Change what we don’t like

And to swallow our pride

We only get one shot at this

So we need to make it count

Respect yourself and others

Before the time runs out….
