" Giants in Jeans Sonnet 36

Time and tide rule the coward,
While the valiant makes their own time.
Take it slow and be the flow,
Leave the racing to the boneless slime.
Those who say that competition is good,
Are but primitives whose religion is dollar.
A world founded on soulless competition,
Will never be free from societal disorder.
Have some regard for the worth of life,
Dishonor it not by treating as NASCAR.
Feel, think and behave as a human being,
Not as a preprogrammed teleprompter.
The rivers and birds fear no competition,
Yet without them the world cannot function. "
