Saved
Feeling
good
is what counts –
the lifeline that lifts
up, up, up –
careful not to sink
in tides of the dissatisfied,
the disillusioned,
the angry –
step on heads
that think,
poke at eyes
that see,
pull up,
against the surge
of progress,
up,
out of the undertow
of questions,
up,
out of whirlpools
of diversity,
up,
out of the ocean
of freedom;
float –
in inflated boats
of certainty,
float –
upon the waves,
saved
from suffering,
from dissent,
from inferiority,
float, float, float.
