The Reality of Defeatism
Evolution put forth competition
/I am aware of defeat/
competition in almost all facets
of not just human life
but of all life forms in general
however it is especially pronounced
among human life which has taken
competition to a Darwinian Apex
a balloon of growing growling conflict
soon enough to explode!
/I am aware of defeat/
soon enough all of us will be aware of defeat.
