A Choice

What twisted pleasure do you derive From crushing others’ precious dreams? Why would you feel so much more alive Only if you hear a dream’s dying screams? Find your own aspiration, your own goal. Rejoice in the gift of talent granted to others. With the punches and kicks of life simply roll; Don’t be the one who their hope smothers. Rise above your wicked nature, envy reject. Desist from being vitriolic and sarcastic. Meditate – quietly upon your purpose reflect. Refrain from being arrogant and bombastic. Are you the almighty Creator, or the created? Will you end up sobbing bitterly, too belated?
