Love Wins



Greatness aspires to humility
In the eyes of the wise,
Yet foolishly we seek not to love, but to be loved.
Our yearning, power hungry minds cannot capture that the meek will inherit the earth.
So we stride ahead, rather than hobbling with the broken,
Ever demanding, ever wanting, never satisfied.
Confusion follows as we look behind, and see those at the back of the line,
Laughing, dirty but smiling.
Envious we frown our disapproval. Happiness is not allowed without power, without possessions, without promotion!
Understanding how the weak could ever be made strong, pah! Ridiculous.
The cycle goes on, always seeking riches, never realising we have them in our hearts.
Perhaps one day we’ll realise, perhaps one day we’ll see, perhaps one day we’ll get it.
Love wins.

Folly 3ww

It cannot be helped; this folly. Folly is sometimes called wisdom; the wisdom of the idiots! Now, there's a thought. I wonder what constitutes an 'idiot' nowadays. Once upon a time it had clearly defined boundaries. But to be an imbecile was worse. I used to pronounce that 'im - beck - ile' - just shows what I know! I digress.

No, when I consider myself wise, then I know I will be a fool. That is how I shall approach tis life. Then perhaps I will blunder a bit less! Now, as I squeeze the last word in, please do not cringe at the obviousness of its placement. Much obliged.
