Superiority
The cause inner source
Separating people with destructive force
Why is anyone better than you
With righteous belief in what they do
They have tools inner skills
Personal success developed wills
Wherever they come from
Status from pushing down someone
Not about the oppressed
Oppressor’s need to be best
Inferior part a misguided self
Needs bettering than everyone else
Masking a missing piece
Hiding pain they can’t release
When feeling airs of another
Show compassion like a brother
Truth why they oppress
Missing their own happiness
Rather than raise their life
Deflect demonize always right
Undertake an honor pure
Recognize sadness help them endure
Extend forgiveness let empathy guide
Knowing they live on false pride
Know people who raise themselves by making others
worse? Do you see missing pieces and how can you be
more compassionate?

I have always been a seeker, always looking for the answers to what seekers ponder. I can remember Dr. Maxwell Maltz and Psychocybernetics; Dr. Carl Rogers On Becoming a Person. Moving through my legal training and practicing law the focus was always about people and how to better their lives. All that searching, reading, studying and introspective work culminated in this collection of daily readings for seekers.
My work in the world has progressed from fighting legal cases to mediating divorces to helping people understand the essentials of relationship and collaborating to these poems. How can we collaborate effectively and work with each other in harmony to create the world we seek. How can we mindfully enable this world to become a place that works for all.
My prayer is that through introspection using these poems as a guide we can all grow together in making the world the Heaven on Earth we all aspire toward.
