Better to be human,
Than to be lonely & blue
Like the gods & angels -
Forever imprisoned
In heaven's solitary realms.
Better to be human,
In the truest sense,
Rather than succumb
To raging animal ecstasies.
Better to be ordinary,
Than a creative genius -
Burning in their own fires;
Torn between Eros & Thanatos.
Be thankful for small mercies.
