Is it Wisdom, Or just My Wisdom? 7.0

 
(i) Self  
 
It matters not  
what you are  
It’s what you  
are becoming  
That is important  
 
(ii) Change  
 
Active, positive and  
deliberate change  
Of self is always  
to be celebrated  
But not necessarily  
copied by others  
 
(iii)  Love  
 
Love is not all you need  
It needs to be a two way street  
And the same level of loves  
Must be clearly exhibited  
Anything else is pretence  
 
(iv)  Tough Lovin  
 
The most difficult person  
to love  
Is ourselves  
even when we  
pretend to lie  
We know that truth  
 
(v)  Hate  
 
Only a coward or  
The mentally confused  
Flee from hatred  
Sometimes hatred  
Is deserved  
 
(vi)  Forgiveness  
 
Only a fool  
Forgives because  
They are told to  
Forgiveness like respect  
Has to be earned  
Sorry about that!  
 
 (vii)  The Same  
 
Physically we are not all the same  
We are not all equal  
From our genes to our bones  
Why do we pretend to be  
Exactly what we are not
in so doing we make a
mockery of diversity
and uniqueness
