Thank you, administrators, for the accolade and your hard work
‘I’s’ Peace
The consumer world imposes a selfishness
That demands more and more, for
Vanity, rank, and the ego to try to conquer
Its ability to be humane and selfless
By letting the mind sway away
From deifying the self above the rest,
But what’s best is only a test
For the will to overlook the internal grey
That requires feeding one’s conceit
When the reality is that one needs
To look beyond the self that bleeds
Darkness of egotism when the receipt
Of the needs of the world, giving
From oneself to help perceive
That the wonders of the creator leave
Peace within, as one is striving for heaven living.
