If you understood I want mercy not sacrifice.
You would not have condemned the blameless.
We scurry about like scared mice.
Where we should be calm, we are restless.

I wish I could just accept people as they are.
That I didn’t curse distractions and chatting.
I don’t need to flee to the privacy of my car.
I should live with mobile phones ringing.

Yesterday I was near young people in a crowded restaurant.
Looking at Mary I thought she was the most beautiful person there.
This may be only subjective not objective but it is a constant.
If you live life with the eyes of love you can live without a care.

It is not what we eat or do which is important.
But who we are that matters, the rest is cant.

Haiku

It is who we are
That is important to us
Not what others want
