I’d take the side of the pointed thorns

Have you fallen for the common trap
thinking me an optimist?
Never have I joined that club
nor more than thrice attended
Were to me the world a rosy playground
I’d take the side of the pointed thorns
against those mothers who seek to protect
their children from life and imagination
For we have only ourselves and no guarantee
that the risks we take and the sweat we invest
will ever end
Surely those who oppose us
will be abetted by masses who don’t care
Still we have only ourselves and no guarantee
There is work to be done so let’s get to it
