T.S. Eliot Had It Wrong
Do I Dare
Disturb the Universe?
Why should I?
Nothing really matters, so I shouldn’t even try.
Why should I?
Every single one of us one day will die.
Do I Dare
Disturb the Universe?
How could I?
I’m small and weak with many struggles in my life.
How could I?
There’s nothing I can do that hasn’t happened once or twice.
Do I Dare
Disturb the Universe?
Why not I?
Nothing ever changes if I never even try.
Why not I?
If no one ever does then the whole world just might die.
I dare disturb the Universe.
To Dare is to Dream is to Desire to Defy
To Defy is to Defeat
Defeat is to Die
I’m
Dying
To Live
