The mind is such a powerful thing

It makes one do good deeds and at times sin

How to explain for this discrepancy

Is this part of our individuality or humanity?

---

It is the center of both our actions and inactions

As we look for a place to hide

In our society, our imagination

Where compassion for all is despised

---

We talk about democracy and equality

Progress is the term we all apply

But, have we made progress?

Is it in the law, the sciences, moral values or technology?

---

How to measure such progress

That seems to make us more self-centered

Giving is an inherent part of our existence

Yet, what is it that we are searching for?

Simply look within, all the answers will be there
