Contain the will to self-advertise
For the sole purpose of causing others to become jealous,
Awe-struck,
Resulting in your false satisfaction.
Please note:
Humility is a virtuous quality
If we were quieter,
The world-
Minus those who
Show off unnecessarily-
Would be a much more wholesome place.
See no evil-
Physical beauty cannot fall into the category of
True.
There are many modifications that can be used to look
Beautiful and unauthentic.
Inner beauty is what matters.
It does not come with a price tag-
It comes from the heart.
It is true.
Hear no evil-
There is not a need for the wealthy
To be proud of their material goods.
Taking pride in what they have
Accomplished to get for themselves,
Instead of helping those in need.
In current society, it is crucial
To share the wealth-
There are many in need,
But so few willing to help.
Speak no evil-
Bite your tongue, and
Make it bleed if necessary
Before speaking badly of another
Human being.
There is a good in everyone,
At times you may have to look deep
To find it.
But, once you do,
You will realize it was worth
Searching for.
What good is it to
Envy others
As a result of
Unnecessary attention-seeking?
It serves no purpose to this world.
No good purpose, at all.
Want to make an impact?
Be quiet, be humble,
Be you.

Are your eyes brown or are they blue
Are you not really sure but they are a part of you
Well what ever color they may be
Show
by Breezycycle
Hear the music of your own spirit, the resonance of your heart.
Take in the rhythm and insight of your senses,
Have you ever kept something hidden,
about yourself?
Locked it away,
put it on the shelf.
Fearing judgment,
what people might
by Anne Ashley
Be Yourself
Swing your hips to the song in your head
Toss aside the curious looks thrown at you
Bear a smile on that sweet
by Jon Coe
There is only one person in this universe
that thinks the way you do
For better, or for worse
this, is the one and only life,
