Modus Vivendi
It seems to me the maverick to be
Wants more to agree than to disagree
Thinking out loud, “Modus vivendi”
Attune to the forlorn malady
Sore scorch of obscure hope
Helped the sorrowful wanderer cope
Lonely in the deceitful mind
Longing for another kind
A way to open up his eye
Optimism is never blind
A new world, a new way
Rendering back to dismay
“Who am I? What is my purpose?”
Questions, perceptive, another verse
Always a hunt for what is known
A new opportunity is now re-grown
Change that fate in just one gaze
Eyes fixated on a beckoning haze
Find that purpose inside oneself
Forget all the lonely
Just be yourself
