Challenges From A Poet

In each and every moment
we face a real and discrete choice.
To which of our feelings
are we going to give voice?

Words can be weapons, or they can be bridges.
We can lead with curiosity…
or we can start a mob and burn the witches.
We don’t have to spend all our time venting:
“What a dick.” or “Look at these bitches!”

Contempt or rejoice?
Choose– with your voice.

You can be anything you wanna be.
You can do anything you wanna do.

If you settle, that’s on you.
If you mettle, that’s on you.

Strategies and think tanks–
eventually will draw blanks.

Decisions and actions–
your path to The Great ranks.

You are the sum
of all you’ve done.

Take a breath.
Go make some fun.
