Dissent<\/strong><\/p>\n

I must Dissent,
\ntake Gentle Issue
\nwith a Purposeful
\nPlatitude<\/p>\n

Meant to Stir
\nAwareness of
\nThe Irreplaceable
\nGemstone
\nThat Is<\/p>\n

A Moment.<\/p>\n

\u201cLive That Moment
\nas if It\u2019s
\nYour Last,\u201d<\/p>\n

Is What
\nWe\u2019re Told.<\/p>\n

But I Dissent.<\/p>\n

The Vibe
\nthat Birthed
\nthat Maxim Is
\nFear<\/p>\n

of Missing Out,
\nof Spending
\nsome Parsimonious
\nDole
\nfrom a
\nStingy Creator.
\nWho Is Only Giving You
\nOne Life,<\/p>\n

and Offering Only a
\n\u201cTut, Tut,\u201d
\nIf You Seem To
\nWaste It,<\/p>\n

then Slip Into
\nSome Abyss of
\nForever Forgottenness.<\/p>\n

What If
\nYour Soul
\nwas Fashioned from
\nThe Maker\u2019s Own
\nLight and Love
\nand
\nThere Is No End
\nTo You,<\/p>\n

Only an Endless
\nVictory
\nof Love
\nover Fear,<\/p>\n

from
\nLifetime to Lifetime.<\/p>\n
