Try Not To Think

 

I.
The sporting press
The randy gossip
Sentries of American democracy
    Deportment

       defiles
Lust            the mind and body
      defines    

Not everyone sees
    what we see

Visionaries who understand the potential of [         ]
    long before most people do


II.
The history of loving
From beginning to end
Having always been
    in love

A feeling of unstoppable
Giving from deep inside
Until there is
    nothing left

It never ever matters
If there are consequences
Because life is
    ultimately short

If the only thing
One is remembered for
is how much
    they loved


III.
The fundamental goal
in living this long
and full life is learning

About self and others
but mostly about self 

Because one can only
control what one can
control ultimately
