We & Cling

To postpone excellence, we cling to complacency
To postpone friendship, we cling to reticence
To postpone commitment, we cling to fear
To postpone life, we cling to addictions
To postpone joy, we cling to distress
To postpone ethics, we cling to urges
To postpone love, we cling to selfishness
And
To postpone biases, we cling to open-mindedness
To postpone aggression, we cling to kindness
To postpone judgement, we cling to humility
To postpone apathy, we cling to empathy
To postpone opinions, we cling to study
To postpone death, we cling to reason
To postpone defeat, we cling to hope
To postpone age, we cling to fitness.
