Shelfless, helpless, selfless

Modes of mind not blessed
Wellness, maleness, paleness
States of being - assessed ...

Lost in a world of adjectives
When will we be non-vindictive
Making interpretations of behavior
As we watch and gaze at neighbors

Based on our own centered spheres
And then attach to them our own fears
Lose the feelings we have gathered ...
None of it really very much matters

For to change our own state of mind
Takes an awareness of a certain kind
The kind which throws out our center
And overturns feelings ... not vented ...
