the goblet

the goblet

to drink from such a goblet

bitter and sweet

pride as enormous as edifice

disseminate in an instance

we drink pride

we drink prejudice

we drink love

we drink hatred

what think you of Hamlet

peer pressure is hard to swallow 

some drink it 

notoriously bitter

it takes courage

but an inflected valour

truth is only in one's belief

until it's shown

authority commands obedience

I'd rather not comply

when it's outrageous

silence is submission

make your own choice

Thomas More 

his silence cannot save him

his poor soul

life is drinking from a goblet

how you drink it

it's totally on you

I've grown to love life

despite pain

there is lots of joy
