To be

To be, to be,
that poor weakness,
to be.
Starting each day anew seeking to be,
but starting with deficits.
And so,
being only harshly.
Farther down that road will they travel
until being is defined by the detestable. 

To be devoid of fear or never to be at all.

Irrational Stasis

The covenant of men:
see as, say nothing.

Then here we are,
the fruitless multipliers of
the irrational stasis.
Wedded once and forever 
to each other and the
notions of our weaker selves.

Who called for prostration amongst these glorious beasts?
Who but ourselves could form the will to surrender?
