The Not So Nice Bigger Picture

A flickering light
A leaky faucet
An unmade bed
A sink full of dishes

All these things that seemed to bother you before... does not seem to anymore

They're nothing compared to the outside world
The bigger picture is what you need to see

CRIME
HUNGER
WAR
POVERTY
All these things can never be compared to all those little things
Take a step back and realize you can:

Replace a flickering light

Fix a leaky faucet

Make an unmade bed

Wash a sink full of dishes

I really like this poem. I like the way the truth just comes out and that it sends it's message to help our world at the end of the poem.
