Speak Out For Reality

Speak Out for The Sake of Reality

Sometimes I think I should feel old
but I feel guilty about being bold.
So many people are timid and act weak
I hardly know when it's safe to speak.

So I question my conscience and ponder
why it is I have always been fonder
of friends and strangers who shout
their puzzling over what it's all about.

But I find years made me more, not less,
and ego is the only infirmity I confess.
I do not feel old, not set in my ways.
I still have ambitions which I blaze.

Don't most of us seek better solutions
for our strength from social pollutions?
Don't our experiences make us strong,
better knowing what works, right & wrong?

I do not respect those persons who hide.
I must feel that I have really tried.
I seek situations where venue has merit
because those there want to share it.

Share life owning convictions and drive.
It is valor and hope keeps spirit alive.
So if I say to you I value, and feel,
only by responding will you be real.

I'm young every day if I say what I may!
