Oyster, Shell & Pearl
Why do we Judge: Pick Favorites; and Condemn?
Why do we make the same mistakes over again?
Do we lack Humility, Empathy, Compassion?
. . .
Perhaps we are spoiled
having too many options!
Hard to say how we could be
so very oddly compelled...
We gather up all sorts
of glorious Oysters!
Just because we can
...and then...
We pry open a shell!
considering ourselves
lucky only on finding
charm amid a sore
worn out muscle...
and if Not There!
then we Persist...
and try our
luck again...!
hardly looking up
from our pile of
once beautiful
discarded
shells...
