"...Gather yourself from bottom to top/And garner the resolve/To stay above..."
Sometimes, you’re better off dreaming than dead,
But the payout is often way too little –
The belief that there’s justice amounts
To the unrealistic value of your coveted dreams.
But when there is practically no hope
Whatsoever, and you tremble at the sight
Of much-maligned outcomes,
Gather yourself from bottom to top
And garner the resolve
To stay above all of the frightening despair;
Be calm and think it through,
For logic and patience will see you past
The unison conflicts of greed and pride
That sink us into the struggles
Of our unforgotten past…
