Tragically Optimistic

Let us first ask ourselves
What should be understood
By a tragic optimism
In brief it means that one is
And remains
Optimistic in spite of the tragic triad
Which consists of those aspects of human existence
Which may be circumscribed by
One, pain
Two, guilt
And three, death

Tragically optimistic
Refugee of the theistic
Too soon, dead and gone
Forgotten a statistic

Nothing's going to change if you don't get real
De-hood the authority killing in the field

When democracy dies
There's nothing left to steal
Light the match to un-conceal

Embrace the fall
In the process
Triumphant through it all

Avoidance is neurotoxic
The world needs your energy

Endlessly
