Keep Pressing On

Complacency is astonished

By repetitive phenomena

Desires to be respected

Not for exhibition but intelligence

Coy and cowardly

Words become weapons

Dismantled dismay turns aggressive

Lascivious lies undermine

Weak and petty

The assault is mindless

Ignorantly proving

Concepts denied and denounced

Any progress triumphs

At a belabored pace

Trickling forth in ticks

Seconds languish for years

Is there no relief from vanity?

Or at least objectification?

Cannot thoughts be powerful?

Must we destroy ourselves?

Take to heart your ideals

They’re powerful

Sharpen them by every measure

Wear them into battle

Your opinion brings perspective

Both valid and invaluable

Burn too bright to ever dim

Demand that they listen
