What? Listen!

[anirbas]

Fruitless to tilt
at spent windmills

Illogical to battle
anything beyond
ones own inner realm

There will always
be someone with a private
agenda on a quest to make your life
a mess, put you in your place,
take you down a peg,
or two or three or four...
Simply because you take up space!

So. Hey, reverse psychology! Learn to crave
the shoe at your throat and face-
Love can build a bridge they say-
pain can be a bridge, a bridge
to something more across which we race

Beyond, far beyond this stifled mountain
of crippled and shared misconceptions-
theirs...Yours...Mine...Ours...

What? Listen!
Fruitless to tilt
at spent windmills...

How did I miss this? This sounds like someone taking a stand against whatever it was that made them "tilt" off center, ready to just keep walking on, in spite of what stop signs life puts up. Love this!! Exalt!

could Dulcinea be unaware of the imaginings of herself from another's perspective?

Thanks Heart and Mose, for your reads and comments. I think, if I remember correctly, I was originally inspired by rascism and reverse rascism when I did this one...I've been dealing with some reverse rascism issues at work and with my RA or PA diagnosis, I decided, I've got my own inner battles to fight, as we all do. Let the ignorant continue to tilt at spent, tattered windmills to make excuses for all that they are not...And thanks for the exalt, darling Dora!
