I guess
I am a pess-
imist,
According to the schisms
And the rhythms
Of our times.
I don’t believe that evil
Will prevail
Over
Good
Forever;
Good and evil alternate –
Anger/humor,
Love and hate.
I define myself
Against the –ist and –ism,
And I find myself
A pessimist:
Valid as a
Pallid
Salad,
Edible but not delicious.
Maybe, just a bit nutritious
Observing the necessities of circumstance.
