You missed,
\nCalling me a pessimist,
\nFor I opt,
\nTo be an optimist,
\nBut, that doesn’t mean,
\nI should close my eyes,
\nTo the mean scene.
\nNooooo…
\nI should scrutinize,
\nRealize,
\nAnd, materialize.<\/p>\n
Create the love,
\nWith a kid’s glove,
\nGentle,
\nOn the mental,
\nAs we progress,
\nThough our regression,
\nSuccess,
\nInstead of depression.<\/p>\n
Though it makes no sense,
\nThe human presence,
\nWants to go that way,
\nIt hasn’t been a matter,
\nOf what I say,
\nI can point to the evidence,
\nShowing them the tatter…
\nBut, it doesn’t seem to matter!<\/p>\n
It’s easy now,
\nTo see,
\nWhat we want to be.
\nSomehow…
\nI’ve found,
\nWe got turned around.<\/p>\n
On closer inspection,
\nDoes anyone notice,
\nWe’re headed,
\nIn the wrong direction?<\/p>\n
On introspection,
\nIs our justice,
\nWhat’s dreaded,
\nWe just lack the diction?<\/p>\n
We’re not apt,
\nTo adapt,
\nQuick enough,
\nI’m not saying, “Tough!”
\nRather,
\nLet’s get it together,
\nSo, we don’t sacrifice,
\nInnocence.<\/p>\n
We may choose,
\nFor us to lose,
\nBut, should we impose,
\nOur view,
\nOn those,
\nWho are without blame?
\nI’m asking you…
\n’cause that’d be a shame.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
