Come-up

I fully agree

That people shouldn't cheat

Shouldn't scheme

Lie

Skirt the systems

But if they do

Then what?

There is nothing to do but have acceptance

That these things and more

Worse

Happen

All the time

In all places of stress

All areas of too many people and not enough thoroughways

Not enough enclaves and diversions that can be gotten to easily

Not enough ease and comfort

Not enough accolades or accoutrements

But then again

Evil

Malvolances

Have happened since the dawn of time

We have been told

Right?

But what if this is wrong?

No thanks

i just don't want to be part of anyone's spectacle anymore

Not even my own most times

I just want to rise above it

Not because I'm better than it or anyone in it

Simply because I don't desire to get involved in it

I don't want the stress

The worry

The tension

The trauma

Although

I do like the happiness

The tribulations

The beauty of comraderie

But how do you achieve comraderie

Without exclusion

Of some sort

That's what I have not yet gathered

That lesson doesn't seem to exist in this world

So until I figure that out

No thanks

I'll just do my own thing

And you please do your own

And leave me be

If you could please

And I will try and do the same for you

So...

If we do chance to meet

Let them be only on the most real and hopefully pleasant of circumstances

Let it be so
