The Consequence of Arrogance
Who are we to judge?
Flowers suffer no shame if the petals of another,
blaze a hue more unique than their own.
Who are we to criticize?
Each branch has its own perspective,
from the window of life it looks through.
Who are we to belittle?
Each rock shaped by the motion of time,
fractured through the fall, yet strong… resilient.
Who are we to insult?
All living things are born and will die
christened in universal experience.
Who are we to domineer?
Each leaf has its own time to fall,
each seed its own time to grow.
Who are we to intimidate?
ignited by mystifying flicker,
the seasons bargain for their own turn.
Who are we to humiliate?
Is it not the thorns of the rose that keep it humble?
The screen door of perspective
encourages to not only look out, but in.
Vulnerability the result of ignorance,
Invincibility the consequence of arrogance.
