The Passion

I guess we need more people going in that direction.

IR majors, scientists, humanitarians. Those that give a damn.

Forget your beating heart,

that reacts to passion and poetry

like waves reaching for a full moon

at the core we are powered

by the law of attraction

it is essential, in life,

to ebb and flow like this.
