Chapter 506

Stay In One Place

One can try and move forward
Hoping to know all and be mystic
Stay in one place
Becoming stale and anachronistic

When one faces life
They can hope to be optimistic
Chances are much better
Things will turn pessimistic

They can attempt or seek
To try to be idealistic
Life itself will force one
To eventually be realistic

One can accept life as dealt
Becoming withdrawn and fatalistic
Some become cruel and mean
Causing hurt and pain, even sadistic

They can seek many vices
Becoming uncivilized and hedonistic
Or think only of themselves
Being over-inflated and narcissistic

One can lash out becoming
Aggressive or going ballistic
What is a meaningless statistic
What is a true characteristic

Nobody
