We have a tendency to look to things outside of ourselves to give us what we can give ourselves.

Like the present wrapped under the Christmas tree,
Life is a wonderful gift.
Like being appointed president,
Knowledge is very empowering.
Like a bundle of magic mushrooms,
Love is very intoxicating.
Like the bail bond across the court house,
Virtue will set you free.
It’s time we put less focus on the exterior,
It’s time we put more focus on the interior.

Wonderful imagery in this great write.

Your last two lines here sum up the entire read beautifully and directly. Yes, more focus by all needs to be made on the interior, the true place where exists what’s important. Very well written. Michael

We always forget the interior. Nice one.

That last line was so true. Your poems are thought provoking. Great job.
