Beyond mediocrity

Biologically

Your heart is a mere mass

Of blood and valves

Pumping to keep you alive.

Scientifically

The mind is a collection

Of cells and neurons

Making us conscious of our existence.

Optimistically

Alpha is past

But never was.

Omega is future

We can all taste reality.

Emotionally

Feelings can dangerously ensnare

Release anger, pain and hatred 

Jealousy, deception, depression

Fear swelling up deep inside.

Instinctively

Thoughts can teach us

Tell us which way to go

Ride through nightmares

Carry us through stormy weather.

Apathy

Is the chorus of fools

Blind indifference

To the suffering all around us

Passionless does not give a fuck.

Life is a lesson

Roads open or closed

The taste of love

Struggles verified and unbroken.

Compassion delivers justice

Without it, no peace 

Harness it, remain undeterred 

With laughter too, stay faithful and true.

There are beginnings and endings

Dances with different names

Challenges constantly unravelling

Dreams, sweet like honey

Clearing cobwebs from mind.
