The purpose behind welfare bums
is so the ambitious never forget why they
continue through their checklist of trial and error.

The purpose behind heavy thinkers
is so those who glide
never keep their feet cemented.

The purpose behind artists
is so realists can float into a new reality,
if but for a mere moment.

The purpose behind those who are domineering
is so those who are pushovers will discontinue
their patterns of stuttering and their lack of eye contact.

The purpose behind those who complain
is so those who are about to realize that
happiness should no longer be jeopardized.

The purpose behind those who are easily hated
is so those who search for conflict
can continue on with their vague project.

The purpose behind writers
is so humanity is not deprived of an emotional connection.
As we dig the trench between our differences,
you are reading our archived thoughts.
