The Optimal Myth

If I waited for life to get better

Before I chose to proceed 

I'd never get anywhere brother,

Just wander around in the weeds.

Brighten

Plants compete for light

Humans for money or love

Why do we choose not to fight

For that which comes from above?

Yes, love is divine

When spurred by selfless grace

But lusts often tarnish the shine

That could illuminate our race,

Point your limbs towards the sky

Sink your roots in the clay

If someone’s in shadow nearby

Help them catch every last ray.

Repellent

Leeches in suits

They’re all in cahoots

They suck and they suck

Till you’re just empty boots

If you want to romp

Be joyful and stomp

Avoid all the muck

Stay away from the swamp.
