Live & Let Live Poem by John Sensele

I believe greater success
In life lies in minding my own business
To achieve and nurture progress
That on me bestows optimal happiness.

I believe people are free to live
Their lives the best way only they know how
For their success enables people to give
To others a sow, a cow, a bow and a plough.

I believe people who have a life to live
Seldom find time and space
For idleness, recklessness and harshness to grieve
Over happiness bestowed on a friendly face.

I believe the best policy in life consists
Of living my life well and letting others frolick
As much as they desire to host feasts
That to their hearts' content give them pleasure for a whole week.
