Weights (poem)

A man

A boy

A follower

A prophet

A leader

A human

A teacher

A creator

All within the darkest of fears

All within their grasp

All within

Creation’s understanding

Of complex subtleties

Never felt the hole

Never filled the void

Of self-containment

Of self-doubt

To continue a life unlived

Immoral rights

Out-weigh

Immoral wrongs

The creator’s hands cannot reach

Inside our own psyche

It is we who must display compassion

It depends on the now of human existence
