Arise and Walk

You sit and talk
about yourselves:

passive, passive,

never active agents in your lives.

Submit like children

to instruction,

as if you were twelve and stupid,

and not men.

Listen to them talk

about themselves:

boring, boring,

but this is the highlight

of your day,

otherwise you are:

damned

falling

failing

never strong

never safe

never saved

except on the dull shores of surrender.

Curse them all to hell.

No spoon-fed life is worth the living,

and no weakling worth the loving.

Arise and walk.

This is a Three Word Wednesday post.
