You wail and gnash your teeth and say the world
Is lacking love -- but are you showing love?
Lament, lament the loss of love the world
Once had for truth -- but do you seek the truth?
You would deprive yourself if but the world
Would embrace virtue -- are you virtuous?
You fill the world with your complaints the world
Is lacking beauty -- but are you beautiful?
You chastise, finger raised, all of the world
For its ingratitude --are you thankful?
You wail and gnash your teeth, lament, deprive,
Complain and chastise -- yes, the world's like you.
Enjoy and love and seek and celebrate
And then the world will seek its joy in you.
Philosophy of reflection and perception.. Nicely put into words. 👍

Thank you. I find I often try to merge multiple perspectives in my poetry, and much of my work is philosophical.
