I Can......

 

I neither sail on the sloop of positivism,

Nor dive sheathed in suit for pessimism;

A glider not too, to be living at fullest,

As such conceptions authored by escapists.

If you need a war to bring peace,

And should you need fear to forge love;

If you need an end for new beginnings,

Then the evolution itself long lost gone.

I can count the troubles in & out space,

Where a blue dot is below even to insignificant;

I can tell tales of beasts & beauties, who’re belligerent,

Would worth which ain’t panacea but rants?

I can live in a myth that ignores the truth,

Yet, pretend to be the guardian of all beliefs;

I can be complaisant, or protest in accordance of my needs,

Should that be considered a life attained peaks?
