Oh to be the seer of my proclamations

to understand

to realize

to show compassion before the ultimatum.

Oh to recognize my human fallacy

that which determines

so many outcomes

that later in reflection

become human nature’s

mistake.

Oh to be hopeful and alive

and respond to each other’s passion

with desire and fruition

rather delightful optimism

in contrast

from the muddy skies we all seem to seek shelter.

Oh to be reasonable

offer a hand

maintain eye contact

for the smile you miss might motivate

even the slightest response

toward a positive outcome.

For are not our souls driven by the very instinct

of happiness that allows our personal freedoms.
