Accept to Expect
What transforms man to human is his conscious desire to live life.
And as he’ll come to learn, life is full of unforeseen circumstances.
Therefore upon living life, not as man, but rather a human,
He must accept all its unforeseen circumstances.
He must accept to brace for both its golds and burning waters.
Which make life worth living,
Air worth breathing,
Pain worth bearing.
You must expect the unexpected!
Sadly, as few or as often they may come,
These hot waters seldom fail in
Branding permanently prominent scars.
Of the skin,
Of the psyche-
More prominent,
More permanent,
Than life itself.
