Poem
Passion Passion can be very good, But it is misunderstood. “Passion” comes from the word for “suffering,” So, in a sense, without buffering: It can give, but it too takes, For every heart it lifts, it breaks! If you feel it, then you know, There is no other road to go Down that gives you such a rush, But, your dream, can it crush. If the question were put to you, What would you choose to do? Would you choose to stay inside, Alone, in the dark, would you hide? I don't know, but I think, To do that, would drive me to the brink! Vote for passion, and you'll live, With all the fun that life can give! Vote for passion, vote for thunder, Tho' it could tear your heart asunder! Vote “no” to passion, and you'll see, How truly bland that life can be. Around you, only gray and grayer, In the game of life, no player! True, you'd never suffer losses, But, I suspect that your bosses Would make life as drab as could be, It's not like you could be happy! “No” would mean your “bucket list,” Would, of a million things, consist! If you had not the guts to try, How would you do it 'fore you die? Helpers would you then enlist, To help you whittle down your list? Would you let them have the fun, Of the things you should have done? Now let me tell you all about The things you would be missing out: Wonders in the skies above, Colors on this Earth, and love. Bruises there would be, by the score, But you would gain so much more, As a thing to check off your list, How about a midnight tryst? Don't wait 'til you're almost dyin' To gain the heart of a lion! Anything that's purely fun, Should, today, be done! Passion is its own reward, Don't let your wishes become a hoard, Live your life as if you mean it, Your headstone, one day, they will clean it. What will your marker say? “Born and died on the same day?” “Never passion, never lust,” “Now he lies here, only Dust?” Don't let this occur to you, Find what it is you LOVE to do, Then you will understand, Today, take PASSION by the hand!
