With so many belief systems how can we know which one is truth & why do they all compete? |
Our values have certainly changed Some worse...some better But no matter the time or place Values still hold significant measure Some value wealth above all else Their sights may be far-fetched And although money is important I feel its value is overstretched Morals change with the times How would someone of old feel? Walking along a sun-drenched beach Embarrassed by what the sunbakers reveal So much has changed And unless we move, we get left behind It is unacceptable to drag our feet Even if we don't like what we find Do values change people? Or is it people who change values sound? Or is it the individual who sets the bar? Paid forward when karma comes around The measure of success is not always success And cannot be determined by only one man When failure is looked down upon by the ignorant Not seeing its value in the overall plan It's not values which create issues But the judgement of those who disagree There is no right or wrong...within reason Coming down to what we as individuals see Belief systems hold us in place Otherwise, there would be anarchy And with no moral standards nor ethical values So, no worthwhile take for humanity But, with so many systems in place Which one's values still hold true? When each is just a variation of the other And competition between themselves to outdo Is this the way values should be applied? If respecting other's beliefs gets pushed to the side When it's done in favour of our own Something no one should ever condone |
