Perception

We have six senses,
That god has given and yet we take for granted.
We hope to find some remarkable event
that would marks us forever.
Yet the little things in life
are highly ignored.


Like the breeze and the beautiful trees
Like running water and the lack of disease.
We thirst for something that hasn't been achieved.
We thirst for distinction and fame.
The little things in life are ignored.
That are ancestors revered and prayed for,
Prayed for the rain, for growth and fertility.

Pursuing materialistic things,
that don't last and begin to wear immediately.

People see us,
random strangers..........
Do they consider the goods that we horde
as an extension of who we are?
Do they ever consider the person within this shell
This outer shell which will one day turn into dust?
Our first perception of this world should include everything.
Not just the goods and the monetary aspirations.
But the smile we bring to someones face
when a memory sparks within their hearts.
