"Our Values Are"


Our values are the source of us
The seed elemental
From which blooms forth desire
Life's motive power
Yet
How blindly do we prance and crow
And scratch amid the dirt
For our continuance
Unaware of our freedom to change
And how fiercely do we defend
Our childhood pondering
Deeming them immutable truth
To see what is
And own our share of error
Is the start
To take what is
And mold ourselves anew
The task
Of awareness
