prosaic virtues

learning to appreciate others

The constant elation of my existence has bared it's defects-

How could I have thought I surpassed these creatures-

Indeed I have been blinded by self indulgence-

Now I have caused harm to no one but myself-

I always believed ameliorating myself was without contention-

Now I see the need to keep my milieu in high regards-

For they do have considerably significant roles to play-

They may have their faults but then again who doesn't-

It is unethical to dwell on their balky features-

The curbing of these scourges emanates from within-

However adapting to these units come with utmost difficulty-

Well the surmounting of such difficulties defines the fine lines in life-

Therefore I will give myself virgin resolution-

For these trifles truly are virtues-

Author's Note

can anyone relate to the decision to transform the world by transforming themselves?
