Leveling Fields.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

we just have to accept the fact
that ultimately we get what we do not really want
or need
and when we have it
we retreat into denial or regret
even blaming the circumstance
other people's fault

this matter stays and won't leave
confronting us that we so rightly deserve this and
that we must accept

it will take time
as time is patient and kind and
always giving as a elbow room for understanding

we have been selfish and will always be
it is our nature

comes the time for reason
and we shall embrace the numbers and arrive at the propriety of
the equation

we have this because we made it
it is there because we so deserve it

life levels up with us
until death.
