as if it ...were you

each person in the universe

has a perspective, genuine unique,

worthy of consideration…

well, what is your reaction

to what other people have to do

in their day to day life+experience

if no other reason than to add

to the melting pot of humanity

and reflect upon how that fits

between everyone else’s point of view… every now and then,

take a good look at yourself

do you really have a sense for

what they might be living for

can you see it with compassion…?

if they were you and you had to do it

would you take a long or short walk in their shoes how would you do

the things that they do,

as if it were you

and you had to do it their way,

if all there was left for you to do

was to show compassion

knowing it’s their way,

would you choose to do it any better, as if it were you

…anyway…?
