“Antidote to Optimism”

Andrew Guzaldo

  "Our task is to show that however, 
Wonderful things may appear,
In today’s World and lifestyle, 
They may not be all that great,

Even the darkest night will end, 
And the sun will rise regardless, 
Our optimism changes to pessimism, 
Roses that may grow on a stone, 

Not in the earth as optimism has shown, 
Love can exist or it can turn parasitism, 
It’s wrong to believe that all will be optimistic, 
That parasitism will continue to exist, 

Oceans feels the love the upsurge bares, 
The stones of the rock will bear a flower, 
Rain will fall and so kisses the flower, 
Will endure there growth of optimism, 

Solitude will bring a cumbersome heart, 
Depression will remain in a semblance, 
New destiny will precede the pessimism, 
As loves fate arrives pessimism succumbs, 
To an optimistic aspect until ones last breath"
