Looking Out and Looking In

LOOKING OUT

Some people invite me to live
Some invite me to die.

Some invite me to live their way
Or invite me to die.

Some invite me to live my way
But invite me to die when I do.

Some invite me to live my way
But someplace else.

A few invite me to live my way
And are joyous when I do.

LOOKING IN

I invite some people to live
And invite some people to die.

I invite some to live my way
And invite them to die when they don't.

I invite some to live their way
And invite them to die when they do.

I invite some to live their way
But someplace else.

I invite a few people to live theior way
And I am joyous when they do.

EPILOG

If I invite people to live their way
When it's harmful to them or to me,
Do I invite us to die?
And when I judge what is harmful.
I wonder what is not harmful.

yours truly
