Less Taken


the road less taken is the road

on which I belong...  I am not

the one who follows the crowd

because it is convenient...  I am

the kind of person who must

see life for himself and become

immersed in its entanglements;

see the dawn for what it is, not

for what it could be or has been,

see life as a formula for living

not as an opportunity to gain as

much as one can before death;

why take the easy way out, when

complicated is more exciting

and challenges not just one's

character but one's intellect;

gain entrance into life by diving

into its soul, wrestling with it

as one might do with an alligator;

birth and death are mutually

exclusive and are not co-dependent

upon one another for survival.
