Be Curious
Living with material objects
Could create a legal objection,
So pause…
For a period of reflection,
Especially since imperialism
Indelibly impacts realism
All throughout history,
But rather than seek glory,
Choose to reform,
And form a newfound story
On the journey of a lifetime,
For life itself
Could truly be sublime,
Which could come about
Through a careful usage of time,
And then make art
That imitates life,
Much like a poetic rhyme,
As a part of truly real realism
