Famous They Want To Be Poem by Mary Angela Douglas

Famous they want to be
Among their friends and various others
Perhaps they want to be
The new revolution
I don't know
These phases come and go
Not beautiful, like the moon
And we who forego a stance
May be ridiculed
My opinion is
God made the world for joy
We should try that
Just to be happy for the smallest thing
Would make an improvement however tiny
In the scheme of things
And to love even imperceptibly
Is better than to gather in anger.
Like a mob.
