For most of us to believe
What we’re inclined to believe
But it takes a great deal of evidence
For us to suspend our time-honored beliefs.

And the will to destroy

Harbor fears of their predators;

Believing in transience is realistic
But both faiths are necessary
To clad life for all seasons.

Generalizations & Time

We spend lifetimes
Elaborating generalizations
Which time ruthlessly disavows.

Weak & Otherwise

The weak complain
The strong maintain
And politicians explain.
