Fool For The Greater Good
I am so hungry to believe that
most have good intentions
that I forget
ego and greed taint intent.
I am so hungry to believe that
long term relationships are so important
in work and life for everyone
that I forget
jealousy and regret are the answer for some.
I am so hungry to believe
that social responsibility will be what
my child experiences in the world
that I forget
not everyone cares like a teacher.
I am so hungry to believe
that everyone will admire the life force in my child
that I forget
not everyone respects life.
Such a foolish woman, why do I feel like such a dummy for expecting the best from everyone?
