if we ourselves could truly see

if we ourselves could truly see
how patient and accepting of self would we be
most in this world care to only know ones own good
eating off the plate of narcissism, constructive criticism not food.

we tut down others and strut our feathers proud
sometimes the nonsense we spew seriously loud
and while others snigger at our stupidity
we continue being an asshole, incredibly.

there are those that care themselves to know well
the importance of self never their heads swell
the comfort in their imperfection their strength
caring to better themselves at length.

they care not to outshine simply for attention
rather their actions and thoughts in another dimension
for their own importance they know be minute
when one thinks of eternity, the universe to compute.

to be a simple human being
accepting of advise and lessons seeing
i cannot imagine a more rewarding existence
a state of deep serene complete complacence.

RB.
