human integrity

i don't think we know what it is
is it an oxymoron?

surely if an individual is complete morally
it is like someone being rich while others are poor

how similar the words complete and compete

when we strive to be good
do we strive to be better than others

we will never be complete until we stop striving
until we can work together
for the greater good of all

it doesn't matter how much faith we have
how strong our belief
if we are not at one with all around us; we are deluding ourselves
when we talk about integrity

so how can we be at one
with those who refuse to be at one with us?

that is the question
