Just my views about how people and society are always looking for bigger and better things, when we have so much opportunity in the smallest things.

*note* my first poem ever written without it being for a grade.

The Small Things

by:Bennett Dungan

The small things

The big things

and the in between things

Oh how we can do so much with the small things

and oh how we can let self-indulgence crumble the possibilities of a big thing

Give a thinker a block of wood

Give an average man a sum of money

The thinker will construct a magnificent piece that only the mind can describe

The average man would buy a large, meaningless item for temporary pleasure

The transformed block of wood will last an eternity, physically or figuratively in the mind of millions

While the big thing will fulfill a single man’s “want”

So much can the small things do for us

So much the small things can give to us

Or, create for us.

Oh, the small things.
