Olympians in order of merit

I find it both fascinating and concerning

How every belief system has it’s own

Language and moral code on which to live by

Who often speak with identical regard to

A quite ambiguous, rather unknown force

But stand like Olympians in order of merit

As if gold, silver, and bronze

Were anything else but idealized metal.

stray silver

No one should live their lives

only to meet an ends at the swift burn

of a stray bullet. These are strange

times yet so very familiar as

our history has the habit of showing.

No one learns their lesson until

it’s too late. No one learns the

meaning of life until

stray silver seals their fate.

So get out there when you’ve the chance.

It’s better than to sit and wait.
