Small thanks


haven't you noticed…

how belittled
benevolence stands,
small thanks given
for health or wealth
gratis obtained.
it's when the bills
mount or the body
declines truly
awareness dawns.
it's human nature
to take lightly
the gems of life...
oblivious of the cost
involved
man drinks
the air,
as though
it
were
an object
purchased.
