Life
Let people oppose, abuse,
Harass, talk crass
And become envious
Of your success
Let come losses, hassles
And inexplicable distress
And let collapse
Your concrete dreams
Confidence is the sorceress
And in her hand there is
Courage; the caduceus
To vamoose all this trash
To placate
Every swelling antithesis
Walking through the ruins
With smiling lineaments
You can still build
Your own heavens
Try this, try that,
Anything virtuous,
That pleases
The inner Goddess
As gracious
And righteous
If still triumph your enemies
From inner and outer sources
Wait! Beyond this body fleece
That flees in knavish winds
But there is a soul forever that lives
To give you another body and life
And another chance to rejoice
Wait till then with patience
When you can amass
All the pleasures
For you this universe reserves
