Cultivating the Future

Cultivating the Future

Talk not of meaning.

            Talk just of living,

            Of the every day.

Talk still of doing:

            Actions and not talk,

            Of what is, not ought.

Do something! Be seen!

            Just be a bully.

            Be stupid and mean.

Do something fully.

            Don’t try to hold back.

            Not a second thought.

So say those who are:

            Lacking in patience;

            Lacking in clear thought.

So say those who can’t:

            Keep themselves in check;

            Hold back their train wreck.

But those that cannot:

            Be without meaning;

            Act without thinking…

Are those who should lead;

            Who should shape the creed;

            Plant in us the seed…

That will grow our future.
