Olympians in order of merit

I find it both fascinating and concerning

How every belief system has it’s own

Language and moral code on which to live by

Who often speak with identical regard to

A quite ambiguous, rather unknown force

But stand like Olympians in order of merit

As if gold, silver, and bronze

Were anything else but idealized metal.

That is life I told him

He
felt
much
more
comfortable
in
the
company
of
strangers,
yet
still
searched
for
that
familiar
face
in
the
crowd.
