A question of goals

If we could achieve
any goal—
anything in the world—
what would it be?
To build a city,
feed a starving nation,
write a masterpiece?

Even then,
wouldn't we still need
something much simpler,
yet deeper and more difficult:
to learn humility
and the love that heals,
to know God
and have no other gods—
to understand?
