What Can You Do?

This is the year to keep all resolutions

Longing for this and yearning for that 
won’t put food on your table., and 
dreams are fine, but they won't come 
true by gazing at your navel.

The sea has its work and so does the sky 
and all things, living and vital, toil away 
to make this world, so why are you standing idle?

Do you believe the part you play is
infinitely small or anything that you
might do is of no use at all?

The world works all the live-long day 
to show itself to you and if it could 
talk, I think it would say, 
“Please, show me what you can do!”

If you think the answer is “Nothing,” 
then that is the wage you will earn. 
Your world won’t change and neither 
will you, so what is it you’ve learned?
