Self- Sufficiency Poem by Jordan Legaspi

Our civilization creates not sufficiency
but promotes on dependency
From the specialists, capitalists and more advocates
all well groomed but brings destruction
Sign of progress we can say
common demonstration of dependency;
But drag the humanity to push a little more
to win in this competition;
This becomes the basic mentality to defeat someone:
from military, commerce, and in finance
Powered by unjust pride and moved by the feeling
of self- sufficiency

A way of saying “I don’t need you”,
because I am better than you
For only the best person
wealthy man like me has the right to be happy
And the intellectual like me cannot be alone
for I am above from the rest;
But we should remember life could be lonely
as soon as we climb without virtue
Humility for instance opens us
for another reality pushing to see the humanity
Or pride that is just without guilt
and it accept reality no ifs and no buts
Bring wider possibility
of growth and development for you and for me
