So long

So long as
my violence 
does not 
burn a hole 
in the roof 
of the sky,
so long 
as 
I keep myself 
small
but thrive
among 
both beasts
and my brothers,
so it shall be,
that I have loved 
the world
and in doing 
so,
I have loved
myself

Biblical and Daoist echoes here. "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, " (KJV, book of Matthew); "Love the world as your own self; and then you can truly care for all things," (Tao Te Ching, poem 13). Nice synthesis!

not burn a hole in the sky...
small... thrive among beasts...
loved the world, loved myself...

This is a poem one should keep and seek wisdom from❤️🙏
