Incidental matters

 

Color is incidental. We were all created and fitted the same

Two eyes one nose two hands and feet and a mind to tame

Instead of commending individualities we search for someone to blame

Our own complexes condition us to look for excuses lame

If only we could celebrate the differences if only we could be kind

Selective choice of color essentially makes us color blind

 

Wealth is incidental. Thieves also acquire and accrue

Real wealth lies in character possessed by but a few

Call on the tombs of the Pharaohs and you will get a clue

Amassing never paid dividends its deeds that beget your due

If you want to feel real rich list the things money can’t buy

Then check off the list to see what you have before you begin to cry

 

Beauty is incidental. The mirror will eventually begin to tell tales

A beautiful face will age and the perfect physique will have fails

It is goodness of the heart and goodwill of spirit that prevails

Courage and compassion will leave behind gentle trails

If you could add sheen to your spirit and make shine your favorite color

You could embellish the soul and let your heart be the ruler

 

Lineage is incidental. It reflects hereditary achievement

Being born in fêted surroundings is no accomplishment

Smugness does not guarantee superiority or make you God sent

You have to prove your worth to grasp what your lineage meant

If you would not overstep the thin line between pride and self-importance

You could attain greater heights still with ancestors for reference

 

Age is incidental. Anybody can grow old without much exertion

Chronology is not corelated to wisdom maturity is the reflection

Of personality. Know yourself grow in stature have faith stand tall

You were born with wings. Then why do you prefer to crawl

If you could balance benevolence with sufficient self-care

You could age gracefully without remonstrations and with flair
