A Lesson – A New Poem

With a full belly, I sit sated

Planning on how to better this world

I wonder if this notion is pure

Or simply pandering from my perch

*

The time to think through current events

Is luxury most cannot afford

Being Monday morn’ justice seekers

Intoxicates the privileged few

*

Better to be the man who listens

The one who yearns for understanding

That’s the man to make a difference

By removing himself from the stage

*
