Entitled? No…

Bless the world for being
unprepared for me
but holding paths and options for me to choose
activating brain cells
to choose, work and play

Bless the Maker of Worlds
unequal, unjust
we dug inwards to define identity,
face the world on our terms
fight for our deemed rights

Bless all imperfections
to keep us alive
kicking existence to carry us afar
no taking for granted
all that is not ours

  1. I really like the first stanza. I don’t know if I’m reading it correctly, but it says to me that it’s ok that we’re not perfect, or maybe different, the world is still here for us and our home. ‘Bless all imperfections’ is a very nice thought.
