We Never Really Know
by Odin Roark
Do we ever know
The right from wrong
Others define
Do we ever know
Our own person
That entity trying
So desperately
To just not offend
Oh how delicate
The butterfly kiss
Of passion in repose
Of want and desire
So patient
We
The victim
Of our own diffidence
Wanting fervently
To be all we are
Yet
Hesitant to discover said reality
Do we ever know
The proper way
To say
Do
Be
Devotion
For
In essence
We must always
Be able to express it first
To ourselves
Oh how tremulous
The moment
Give it room
For within such intimacy
Rests the outreach
Unshackled
That passion for life
Bestowing love to all
Who will just accept
We never really know…
For sure

Again, the answer to it is an uncomplicated as the reason for what is right, with exceptions we, ourselves make, subject to change over the years. Point in fact, the hooray of same sex marriage. I also believe that we can rail against certain practices, but secretly do, or think favorably about that which we publicly despise. We are, in a nutshell, a very complex entity.
