Go. Go. Go.
Work. Work. Work.
More. More. More.
One might ask,
"So what's the point?"
And I reply,
"I don't know."
But I see folks in need
Being run over
Left behind to bleed
While everybody
Scrambles over each other
Spittin' and clawin'
Their way to the top
I just shake my head
Then I bend down
Do my best to help others up
That's the only point I can see
Easing the suffering
Caused by greed
We broke the world
We CAN repair it

"We CAN repair it"
Thanks for sharing this your heartfelt poem with us.
From your lips....
I see no other point to life than helping people.
This poem was on my mind all day yesterday and I had to come revisit it. I thought about it, and the first half is so detailed and SOOOO TRUE. Thinking about the world around me and I actually feel the accuracy from it as I read this. Unfortunately there are not enough that do "bend down" and "Do my best to help others up."
I like to think I have begun to change from that GO WORK and MORE state of mind. And another I WAS guilty of is ME ME ME. I don't pretend to be free from this sad mentality, but I do find when I make a conscious effort to focus on helping others, my life is less chaotic and a little bit more peaceful
AOM, this poem is extremely thought provoking and inspirational. Thank you for writing it and sharing it.
