If you
must squander potential,
squander only that of your own;
sacrifice not
the potential of others:
they, be the harbingers of Doom.

If you
should choose
to throw your Dreams away,
do not
make those
around you do the same!

They,
who would seek
to defile, corrupt,
extinguish,
shatter and destroy
the potential of their
fellow Beings,
deserve not
this Holy blessing
to be alive and breathing,
and bearing witness
to this sacred, beautiful,
wondrous illusion;

this physical and spiritual
transient ephemera;

this sentient, inanimate,
scientific, counter-intuitive
fledgling, fleeting Dream
that we, over the years,
come to recognize
as Life.
