a self+ish ...wish

it seems that we as humans

at times show our survival skills

…and can be infinitely creative…

as well as cunningly resourceful

we learn as children to share

it is not the easiest lesson

we are selfish at times and we

…want to feel better…

it is a survival skill for starving animals and solitary societies

where everyone fends for themselves

…some call it self+preservation…

what really seems to work out better for all peoples

…collective well+being…

is cooperation in truth and dignity

…the realization comes…

when you take something away

…from someone else…

that does not belong to you

you will not

get the satisfaction of

and benefit of

learning how,

when and where

to get it

yourself

…loving+life

is where you

say…

i want to

learn

to love

together

…with

+you…
