The moon is stagnant in it's ridged course.
My hopes are blinded by logical thought.
These goals that I reach for require force.
Yet still I cannot eliminate naught.
But why is life such a selfish sequence?
And why do I feel like the most selfish?
When my actions have a set consequence
Attempts to evade it are embellished.
To fight for the sake of prosperity
Is to negate the goal of which you seek.
When fight becomes a liability,
It is only convenience that you great.
If only I could call myself human,
Then you could become the only true beast.
But when simple life is in short demand,
And then little remains for us to seek,
And when our actions are not viewed as hands,
My puny existence does not seem meek.
So tell me why you think you are unique.

Theme: I refuse to tell people what to look for in my poetry. Therefore, I give no theme, and will also make the claim that it has no real theme. Prove me wrong.

Well, I have to ask why capping throws off the flow when it has no impact on the way it is read?
