No Comparison

Headed to North Rim of Grand Canyon on dreamed motorcycle trip through Southwest U.S.

No Comparison
8/25/11

Is it really any wonder
why human beings prefer dreaming
over stark reality of surviving
in capitalist environment gone mad,
where overabundance creates sick leaders,
politicians, corporations, the super rich,
infected by greed never satisfied,
while lower classes get by,
barely or not, suffering together
they live values of sharing,
compassion, empathy, love, in family,
communities, while cherishing simple pleasures
present each moment, with gratitude
though praying for better life,
envisioning a future beyond strive
for every individual to realize
their great worth as catalyst
making small or large difference
using unique combination of skills,
talents, like none before them,
who are willing to leap
into Unknown, like Beloved's arms
waiting for embrace across ocean,
anticipating that goodness will follow
courageous risking toward high ideals
with no comparison to past.
