Why Wait For Anything
Why wait for anything
and regret unrealized dreams
when even hope redeems?
Why have an awful feeling
and settle for uncertainty to come?
Rise above your hopelessness
and get rid of scary things
that affects almost everything...
what's your hesitation to cling
to choices that are better than none?
If life breathes into your awareness,
appreciation must be elevated considering
its sacredness that's never doubtful,
embrace it without being ungrateful;
if they deride you, ignore their foolish words
and continue laughing and living!
Why wait for anything
and hold your feeble breath wishing?
What would you be accomplishing?
Strip your reasoning of false concepts,
conquer what seems unconquerable...
earthly gods were carved out of marble
and their sculptor had certain flaws
not visible to the eye, but disputable.
You were made of flesh and bones,
you were given a brain for thinking
and hands for building amazing things.
The brutality of certain leaders of worldly power
may repulse you and change your perspective
of this human race so bizarre, confused, and insane;
you have the potential to decrease their fear:
why wait for anything to happen to them
and not let them carry the torch of wisdom?
