Mountain goats in Kindu

Mountain goats in Kindu
Even with no mountains
They seek a view from above
A dirt hill will do

Eternal optimists
Jumping over trash
Nibbling on cans

Fate will not be kind to you
But I respect your instinct
To see the world differently
And believe in a better view

Sounds like you are describing aid workers. This should be the footnote to your Selfish Altruist entry.

Your spiritual insight may well be deeper than you know. Thanks for the fine words.
