People eschew despair,
the same they scorn failure,
and they only accept the latter
to look forward to future success.
But despair is essential to life’s journey,
which only ends badly for all of us,
no matter how much sensation
we cram in between both ends.
**
Desperate people are just those
with enough imagination to know
that no matter how firm a grasp we get
into this trance we call life, our journey
is always at an end and despair
is the only reasonable answer.
