NEBBISH BEINGS?

I am not enthralled,

That too many of us

are nebbish beings,

accepting to be recycled

Every 24 hours,

much in a vegetative state

aloof to our true reason of existence

And purpose for being,

-Until we expire-

Just like walking by

an undesirable can of food sitting on a grocery shelf

That could be used to save and strengthen a life somewhere

Or the unused medicine in a cabinet

That could help heal a dying soul,

but instead, just waiting to be expired and discarded.

Our lives are meted and valued simply by how much we touch and affect other forms of life and the environment we share.

-Nickidad-

Enthralled - Captivated, charmed,

Nebbish – Pitifully ineffective, luckless, timid person
