My two Lessons from the Universe
Poem by Ginger Strivelli

For some reason the Universe keeps trying
to teach me two lessons over and over
and yet I stubbornly just keep crying
that I don't want to learn either!

They all say patience is a virtue
and it is good to be the forgiving type
I don't know if either idiom is true
perhaps it just bias judgemental crap!

I just know I don't really care
that I am always so impatient.
Why does anyone shamelessly dare
to miss a chance before it's to late?

And I don't wish to even try to forgive
anyone who has harmed me unjustly.
How on Earth could I stand to live
with myself as accomplice to the enemy?

Why must the Universe fight me so
trying to teach me those two traits
that I just don't want to know
how to learn to emulate!
