Realistic Pessimist

THE REALISTIC PESSIMIST
Is it about life or death?
Is it about death or birth?
If it is about death, and not life or birth,
So be it

You either love or hate
You can choose to hate or date
If you choose to hate, and not love or date,
So be it

Is it about success or failure? 
Is it about failure or progress?
If it is about failure, and not success or progress,
So be it.

Is it about winning or losing?
Is it about losing or victory?
If it is about losing, and not winning or victory,
So be it

Is it about food in excess or famine?
Is it about famine or eating?
If it is about famine, and not food in excess or eating,
So be it

Is it about commending or condemning?
Is it about condemning or extolling?
If it is about condemning, and not commending or extolling,
So be it

Is it about freedom or slavery?
Is it about slavery or liberty?
If it is about slavery, and not freedom or liberty,
so be it.
