Kierkegaardian Inspiration and Action

 

Just working with the Kierkegaard

I find is inspirational

It involves my thinking hard

The results are just sensational

I feel now God's the middle term

That informs all of my perception

Now in my life, I live and learn

And see better what is deception

 

Now I feel fully introduced

To the love I owe my neighbor

Clearer love of self has also been induced

New choices in thoughts and behavior

This ancient phrase is no panacea

For all these years it's awaited reference

Please refrain from calling it utopia

Yet every moment, I gave it deference

 

Kierkegaard calls on our empathy

That must needs come with compassion

To feel the need is only worthy

When it comes in loving actions

In this we find such liberation

From a conformity and it's chains

When we dare love's consideration

The best of life pertains

 

Kierkegaard and I are great friends

His death seems of no real bother

Both of us serve the same ends

And in that way, we are brothers
