I Am Sad for Those Who Choose To Be So Small

I pity those who choose to be so small.
Especially those perhaps, who,
elevated to heights of grandeur,
living as this world’s supposedly elites
given prestige, power, and wealth,
who stand upon the mountain tops —
and yet, choose to crawl in the dirt
where they see only the specks of dirt in others’ eyes,
where they throw dirt at others attempting to dehumanize them;
where they debase themselves with petty actions,
meant to hurt others in their quest for more —
more power — there is never enough;
more things — there are never enough;
more wealth — there is never enough;
more attention — there is never enough;
more fame, and praise, and adulation — there are never enough.
More and more and more……
