This and that

 

Some search as others are content only to see

There are those who thirst for knowledge

and beside them those who already know

Then we meet those who are right

whilst opposite to them are the wrong

The judges glower at the judged

The thinker lives with the thoughtless

Plotters lay in wait for their victim

as the unsuspecting approach oblivious to danger

Some grow with expectation

others sit bereft of ambition

The explorer is intrepid and curious

those explored see little point

Wealth drives its adherents to want more

the poor lose heart in the face of despair

Pressed close to a spinning globe

we resemble those on some sinking ship

Courage demands stoicism in the face of adversity

the faithless don´t know what is happening

All cry aloud with different voices

are these voices consumed in the night

do they disappear out of sight

do they go unheard

Is all for nought. So why be here

Go to some place quiet and listen to the inner self

Answers come which restore

as waves lap against a shore

The ship will not sink nor

the globe cease to spin
