super powers

we all would like to have
super powers.

strength or invisibility.

flight.
x ray vision, perhaps.
but would we use it for good
or evil.

we could say that about everything
now.
our talents being many, but
how are they used.

are they squandered on worry
and confusion.

sorrow and misplaced emotions.
or do we take
the gifts we have and be good
towards other.

are we honest, do we look into
one another's eyes
and listen.

do we care?

compassion is a super power,
so is honesty,
and love,

forgiveness. what we want is
already within us,

it's already here.
