Be realistic,
A mode of expression to sell yourself short–
For I will not go gentle in the wake of those that project fear and death onto the human spirit
Be realistic,
“Play it safe,” I refuse to comply and defer my dreams to build another man's nightmare
Be realistic,
“Don’t bite the hand that feeds you,” as I tear off both with fangs bared
Be realistic,
“Know your place," impossible, the morning star does not dim his light
Be realistic,
“Get a job,” I have life and from life, I create courage in the abstract
Be realistic,
“Mind your tongue,” never
Be realistic,
“Explain yourself,” no
Sincerely,
- H. J. Levon
