Proportion Portions Poem by John Sensele

Proportion in action and speech
Sets great minds apart
From small minds who switch
Into a low gear right from the start.

Proportion in gratitude and attitude
Defines phenomenal women and men
Who rise to a loftier latitude
Long before they utter ‘Amen'.

Proportion in interference
Singles out sober souls
From mediocre multitudes whose mental balance
Enables savvy souls to attain smart goals.

Proportion in direction
Propels sane souls to sanitize family palaver
Toning down arrogance, insolence and impertinence as they undertake a mission
That endears them to a longing lover.
