Humanity's 10 Mandates

The truth is that,

People don’t speak enough,

In a matter of fact,

Humanity sees it as being rough,

They repose on matters,

That are of great importance,

If people would respond faster,

We would make headway for once,

But when people actually do speak,

They do it out of reticence,

Feeling there powerless and weak,

Forcing us out into impulse,

Thinking we say things out of purity,

And a clear mind,

I say that’s just, humanity,

Hiding the fact that we are blind,

To true power, we all can hold,

The matter of mere patience,

Forcing yourself into a position you don’t want,

Of this, I don’t want to condemn,

For you, me or any of them,

Turning your back on piety,

Poorly and pitifully trying to find meaning,

But whoever you try to be,

You have to be forced to be leading,

Yet there's one thing many people,

Can't comprehend, Is the act of faith,

But what people think instead,

Taking it at your pace,

Then think selflessly about others,

And help them through their trials,

This would make you feel better,

And overcomes any of your ordeals,

This feeling leads into love,

Caring for another more than yourself,

And it being a sign from above,

This feeling is better than wealth itself.
