naming

the weight of better
black or white
truth or lie
all bears
sacrifice

do i mind the sky?
do i mind trying?

spending a life away
seems a sinful waste

decades pass and still i
connect my end of the chain
why rain on fate's parade?
why wait for another day?

spelling it out
means it exists
i'm afraid
leaving it to the wind
means i'll never find it again

the simplicity of necessary
and the complication of more
it's only human to explore

and these laws of living
like dissecting a siamese
the cut must be clean
the difference between
man and god
even or odd

the choice to believe
or to overlook
to define your nook
in the cosmic scheme
call it individuality
in opportunity
i call it sacrifice
