Poem: Simple Truth

Culture, Featured

The truth is usually simple – Why is it difficult to live? If love is infinite to give, Then why is unity unreal? Why can’t we move beyond the words And sharing on Facebook pages? Why does this finite round world Get packed in shopping square cages? Hate, finger-pointing and spite Rule over every good intention Instead of change and self-correction, We look for being “good” and right. Is there sapience in us, Or are we fear-driven primates? We sing of peace, dream happy days, While driving somebody bananas… We’ve come a very lengthy way, We’ve walked the round world TOGETHER, We’ve played and learned from every game, We outgrew our furs and feathers. Now we are due to calculate And draw some sapient conclusions: To be recycled as primates Or drop the “you ain’t me” illusion… by Irene...

I know not their personalities and everyday lives, but I know their core being. I also learned my core being; I saw myself in a way I have never seen before; full of love, laughter and beautiful qualities that I can appreciate in myself. Now I see myself as a person, someone to be loved and cared for, who deserves the respect I give everyone else. … Life … is an ebb and flow. [This program] taught me how to grow from the ebbs, remember the flows and to always continue to love myself, others and life.” – A young woman, “who had just completed a 4-day program for teens from diverse social, cultural, and economic backgrounds.” How Can You Know If You Are Placing Value In Connecting With Others? To test out whether there is value for you in connecting with others… here’s a simple suggestion. Try it and see if you notice a difference. Once a day, when you’re getting ready to text or email...
