Eventuate Poem by Margaret Alice Second

To change the world we must change
our own mould & affirm perfection of
own and everything else’s existence,
creating tranquil mental states so as
to improve our psychic atmosphere

Take pride in our role in life’s cycles,
honour the co-operation between all
manifestation of being - whether it be
self-conscious or unaware, & accept
our own worth within this universe

While granting every other being the
same recognition, & as our attitudes
change towards contemporaries and
country, family & colleagues, we’ll dis-
cover we can’t love our neighbours

Until we love ourselves: if we believe
it’s wrong to love oneself we shall be
unable to love another; doing our best
in life to improve the quality of all life
and by taking care of the thoughts,

Feelings and expectations we mix in
with those of the others, we create the
positive mental elements from which
the physical events will eventuate…
