The Laundry List.

We all must do what we can to keep everything clean.

But when one has a laundry list, what does that mean?

Is it different types of clothes we must wash?

Or is it tasks throughout the day we must squash?

There is a plethora of tasks needed we may find.

The most important ones are the ones in our mind.

Which is the first to work on. It really doesn’t matter.

Let's start with the opinions of our fellows that we tatter.

Is it jealousy and envy that motivates this thought?

To remove it from the list is what you should have sought.

Now what do you desire? What now should you appropriate?

This greed must be removed. Your desire to accumulate.

If you take away for self-gain, in them, you create great space.

Greed is stealing from the masses. Even from our human race.

Many times, selfishness runs us. Makes this mechanism go.

To think of only oneself makes us the star of the show.

Only me! Not you! You sing so loud.

This makes you great, and so proud.

What’s next to remove? Something that's very hard to budge.

When you are slighted, the animal naturally creates a grudge.

It may last only a week or a month. It may last a year.

Re-enforcement of it happens when they are near.

Grudges must dissipate, or you will approach a new gate.

Enables you to enter a new place. The place is called hate.

If you entrench yourself, you will soon find.

It will erode you inside, leaving only a rind.

On this list is another thing. It’s called revenge.

After you are slighted, do you wish to avenge?

Maybe create damage. Possibly pain too.

Do you wish to pierce their heart through?

Next item to remove? It is to be fear taken from the equation.

Remove this you should, so there will be little abrasion.

To cringe in solitude is not of profitable ways.

It is a fraud practiced in the mind that it sways.

Now, take yourself out of the formula, today. Not tomorrow.

Doing this will definitely help with much of life’s sorrow.

When you feel alone and feel judged by a committee.

Please remove from within you, this comfortable self-pity.
