When we Pause (Poem)
We teach ourselves about the other's cause, when we pause Finding the stories beneath the faces seen everyday When we pause, we listen to more than just applause Realizing all the ignored words people say All the empty baggage which clutters up our lives Could easily be managed, if we just organized The finger pointing leaders say this is what to do But when you point the finger, three more point back at you So I try to plan my days, prioritize my time Each step brings me closer to the mountain I must climb The journey's not a quick one, but worth an honest try Some say talk is cheap, but how expensive is a lie? Through all the ups and downs, I'm striving for the summit To be risen to new heights and let all the nonsense plummet
