Pessimism
A new place-
frightening, yet exciting,
limitless possibilities
couched in the possibility of unknown dangers.
A new idea-
intriguing, yet disturbing,
a possible solution
obstructed by other solutions that are more customary.
A new face-
attractive, yet alarming,
the hope of friendship
hidden behind a wall of our own fears and prejudices.
How admirable,
would it be if we
could keep the optimal,
and throw out the pestilence in our isms.
