Is it selfish?
How limited a paltry
Three-score years and ten
suicide outlawed
Yet we are told
It's bad wanting to live forever.
Is it selfish to dream dreams
beyond allotted time?
Striving for perfection and beyond
Reaching for our unlimited potential?
Is that not what is best
of being human?
Must we bury our best
Just to satisfy the fear
of the rest
ones that chooses blindness.
Must we limit our visions
so that others need not
question their realities
and beliefs and idolatries?
In timeless perspective
So much more can I give to this world
Through wisdom honed by experience and eras
compassion moulded right
by having infinite moments to stop
and listen to fellow human's plight.
The impossible becomes possible
and dreams reality.
Time enough to stop
for smelling roses
What joy to love and play
in timeless reverie
Is it selfish
just wanting to ride
the wave of time
till perfection is alive?
