    Poem Commentary

    This poem was written as a sort of philosophical thought and came to me as I was travelling and witnessed both the good and bad in people around.Its meant for light headed reading and absorption if you may.

    The Cup Of Life

     One might well ask
    What is this cup of life?
    But try as one could
    The answer would not be found in any book,
    But rather look deep within onnself
    Look into the mirror that is ones soul
    For the cup of life is what we put into life
    Thus if one puts in good
    The cup will be filled with goodness
    And in like manner if one puts in bad
    The cup will be filled with slime.
    So go ahead and drink deep of that cup
    Drink to quench the thirst
    As one receives what one deserves
    And when your thirst is quenched
    Let the cup overflow
    And spill unto mother earth
    So the soil absorbs
    All the good and evils of humankind
    To yeild its fruits accordingly.

    My thoughts are aligned with your in that we find all anwers within the self. If we have vison to look inside then we have strength to be our true ourselves.

    You are quite the philosopher. No one will find a thought here disagreeable, I hope. You've done a wonderful job here stating both the obvious and elusive.
