Ode to Peacocks

 

I really despise
self indulgent girls and guys..  

Could do without all that vanity
and selfish proclivities..

And yet..

My admiration for their audacity
always doing their own thing
against the hurricane head winds
of stifling conformity
that keeps we cowards in line
is the ultimate conflict
of mixed feelings 

I'll never come to grips with..

Unless..

I can find the inner courage

to move past my judgmental

action inhibiting inclinations

and adopt the philosophy

of grudging acceptance
