Philosophy: Equal Capacity For Wrongdoing Poem by Margaret Alice

Philosophy: Equal Capacity For Wrongdoing

Rating: 4.5


I embarked on a life with the firm intention
to be an upstanding citizen; but all it has
brought me is pain - each time I have to
explain why I’ve fallen behind again,
instead of disappointment and then
encouraging me to continue in a life
I hate to the core of my being; why
not allow me to die and be reborn
through reincarnation; if I can’t make
it to the spiritual realms of non-physical
life, where I hope to end up through
accepting guilt and responsibility for
everything that has ever gone wrong
on this earth, thus showing awareness
of an equal capacity for wrongdoing
as the worst criminal?

you know i was once lovely like a child, and now after being one of the numberless texts of adults, i am content to be the voices from the great heights, i would like to call myself unhealthy and speaking sad words. today i look for wine and shade, the only things which enclose me, to be written on the wind and how fair she seems to be, , , nice write, , , good luck with desire and admiration, each a flower until time befalls
