The Haunting Instinct

Not eighteen anymore
nor to be a part of some revolution
and save some society
Alas, there is that ancient whisper,
that fire in the belly:

"You gotta either DO or BE something!"

As if these two are distinguishable...

Another beautifully phrased mind puzzle poem, Sherifa. I am so glad you are back and safe and sound. Being is doing.

that itch never leaves, does it? i keep waiting for the peace/contentment that supposedly comes with age, and it never arrives. Maybe now not to start/join the revolution, but to make/do/be something different, something lasting, something worthwhile...

How true,Jason!
Something lasting n worthwhile...till our voices and that whisper unite n flow together in the stream of the collective human consciousness...

Peace.
