On Being Human
Don't worry if life has got you down. You'll get there, one way or another. We all do.
“Energy is the only life, and is from the body; and reason is the bound or outward circumference of energy. Energy is eternal delight.” William Blake
People will always do
what they want to do,
eventually.
It’s only a matter of time.
You can never stop ’em.
No matter what pains
you impose or
walls you build
or funny ideas
you put in their heads.
Eventually
they’ll get there
and do it
whatever they’ve
got going on inside.
Jesus, Bundy, Madoff,
Mandelstam, Martin Jr.
even sophisticated Sisyphus -
they all got there.
There was no holding them back.
So don’t worry if
you can’t get there …
You’re in a tired marriage.
You push papers around endlessly each day.
Nobody reads your poems.
You have 4 toddlers and no ticket out.
Life makes no sense.
The man has his knee
on your throat.
Don’t worry.
You’ll get there – eventually.
Everybody does.
Energy always finds
the ends for which it was made.
Everybody will always do
what they want to do.
That’s what
makes us human.
Thank you for sharing.
