to acquire supremacy over our lives

Some things under our control
really aren’t,
like life.

some things out of our control
really are,
like the life we could make.

so sit, then, and rest on our laurels.
no use making change,
or changing the way we make it,
if superiority is our stoppage.

be weary, then, of any sort of hostility,
no point raising our voice,
or voicing our points ad nauseam,
if sway is not in our cards.

I don’t buy it,
just as I don’t buy a lot of what
is thrown into our hands, our individualistic,
greedy, unrestricted imbibing hands
that want physical attainments and
lack the ability to assert emotional yields,
and I seem to be doing fine.

some things ascend out of
our comprehension of what is viable,
but that shouldn’t halt the masses
from wanting something else.
