You have heard it said
that it is prudent—
even wise—
to listen to
the better angels
of our nature.
Rubbish.
Don’t merely listen.
Converse with those pixies!
Engage in morality,
challenge it,
wrestle it
until it has
locked you in
Full Nelson
submission to being
human
but
better.
There should be
nothing at all
PASSIVE
about your
morality.
