Philosophies

 

I’ve decided to change my interests,

Currently studying philosophies…

Will my soul expire to heaven?

Is there a spirit in the trees?

 

The last decade I was a stoic,

I never acknowledged any pain…

Then I turned into an optimist,

Realizing with no pain, no gain.

 

I then read up on fatalism,

Learning there was never any god…

Only finding existentially,

Great things happened still, how odd?

 

Citing Niche and Nihilism,

They say go ahead and shoot the duck…

No reason it lives anyway,

Life’s screwed, so what the f—k?

 

Suddenly there’s human triumph,

Soccer, cancer, a saved specie…

I think that we as individuals

Need to be all we’re meant to be.

 

Pollyanna was an optimist,

Who discovered her own way…

When philosophers invade your life,

Just wait another day.

 

People drown in social standards,

Self-actualization won’t jump start…

Real heroes bypassed protocols

To follow first, their heart.
