folks...
stop this compete
it never makes us complete
who can out do the other
when we are all stringed together
like the drops in a wave....
our identity
is so wholesome
let us not make it so tiny
post and position
gains at our disposition
not at the cost of our whole
the joy of this whole
is embedded within
each of our souls
tiny we may seem
the success of our tiny selves
is not at all our highest esteem
we are born to enjoy
the joy of the whole
so...
folks....
stop this compete
it will never make us complete
Profound philosophy my friend. Well done!
‘…the joy of this whole // is embedded within // each of our souls…’ Most reflective part to me … Universal Us [a poem of me] … the choicest focus 10+ Ms. Nivedita UK
TRUE! OUR SOUL REMAINS ONLY AS A PART OF THE UNIVERSAL SOUL, AND ONE DAY MUST UNITE TO BECOME A COMPLETE WHOLE! This has been the message of Hindu philosophy also! Plato's ideal 'Form' - was called by Neo-platonists as the 'Good' or the 'ONE'! St. Augustine baptised Plato's pagan philosophy and called that 'Good' = GOD! Ever since the the Medieval philosopher spent their life-time proving the existence of God with Logic & faith! FOR YOUR POEM 10! (Kindly read my 'An Introduction to Medieval philosophy' on page 2) Thanks, - Raj

A very good poem. Sometimes competition is good and can make it complete. Too much pushing can do harm. Good write. Your friend Lynn
Well stated poem Sam! This poem speaks to a mortal condition about one human failure-the 'joy of the whole' instead a single person being part and partial of the whole.A solid 10
Excellent! my friend, let me remind all of us, that 'WISDOM is not a priviledge but gift given to us by our creator to be share with the world', keep it up,10++++
i haven't noticed competition anywhere here...have noticed greed only...every fore-runner would have a sweating limit you know!

I have always hating competing. Maybe this is the reason why? Profound honesty.
