It is precarious
lossmemorylovemortality
It is precarious
There is no position
Of strength
Cohesiveness
Is an illusion
You may believe
In death
It is all too easy
To achieve
Even by accident
So many givens
Fallen by the wayside
Even history
Is subject to revision
Beliefs
Are complex concepts
Which are built
On the foundation
Of heart and mind
There is strength
In conviction,
Lack of reflection
With no recognition
Of change in circumstance
Is a weakness
Of the human condition
Value me
We are fragile
Thorns give puncture wounds
Galaxies explode
Civilisations implode
Even an introvert
Can be gregarious
Life is precarious
