You may capture the moment, just open your eyes
With the purpose in being appreciative and wise.
All the life that you’re seeing around you is such
All the best in the rest of the world may not touch.
They may well seem quite modern, an up-to-date lot,
But the subtle depths your freedom has, they have not.
There is much more here than you may see at a glance;
That is why both your vision and knowledge enhance.
We have many more cultures and peoples who live
In harmonic acceptances only freedom can give.
And our variant pursuits are not equaled at best;
As a cursory count could quite comfortably attest.
When you open your eyes and have relevance grow,
You should see there is much more to this than you know.
