Inferiority
Cause a destructive seed
Separate people nasty deed
Why is anyone better than you
Righteous glorify what they do
Folks have tools inner skills
Personal success developed wills
Rise pushing down someone
And where they come from
Not about the oppressed
Oppressor’s need to be best
Inferior misguided self
Needs bettering or else
Masking a missing piece
Hiding pain they can’t release
Why they oppress
Missing their happiness
Rather than raise their life
Deflect demonize being right
When feeling airs of another
Show compassion for the other
Undertake honor pure
Recognize emptiness be a cure
Extend forgiveness empathy a guide
Sad they live on false pride
See missing pieces in people who raise themselves by making others less?
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.
