How Well I See (Villanelle) by Blue Magpie
If right, means only what is right for me,
however frightful such a theory seems,
so much depends on just how well I see
and understand the true reality,
so little on the cleverness of schemes.
If right, means only what is right for me,
am I, within my mind, at last set free
to be as truly selfish as my genes?
So much depends on just how well I see
the linkages that span eternity,
short-sightedness Iâm sure only demeans.
If right, means only what is right for me
self knowledge is my first priority
all else is someone elseâs dreams.
So much depends on just how well I see
my place within the greater unity,
a team within a universe of teams.
If right, means only what is right for me,
so much depends on just how well I see
