Reflections: White Scorpion

how long will it be

before I take action;

how much will I endure

of the way you treat me,

or I you,

for that matter;

how many days,

months, and years

must pass before we

realize we are of

two different beliefs:

 in how we want to live our lives,

in what we want and especially

in what we want to give.
