Dissident Clouts

to battle, or not to battle

The need for battle is one I never relished

A part of me wishes for eternal peace

Now I find peace persists only after a war is won

Without such battles there is a quiet storm

A chaotic tempest that eats away the soul

Battling hidden plagues is an eternal duty

Ignoring them only supports their existence

However I am often plagued with the technique to assign

I am aware of the need for confrontation

But I loose out on how to confront

Do I use force or gentleness

Do I be swift or lethargic 

am I to act on instinct or wisdom

I Am afraid the next course of action eludes me

How can I elect the next act 

For I fear the consequence of an imperfect choice

The desire to act does exists 

But the act to perform is vague

My mind suffers from unsolved puzzles

Without clear convictions how does one survive

Seeking council did me no favors 

Even the wise award conflicting resolutions

I now come to an exhilarating verdict

Each feat is tailored to each being

I must pave my own path

As I battle I learn

And by learning I earn insight

Such insight is attained upon primo reflection

how does one know when and where and how to act

I really love this part. We just act the way we think we should at that time.
We don't always think through what we should say and do. I enjoyed this write,
quite intriguing and powerful.

My mind suffers from unsolved puzzles.

Richard Feynman once said, He would rather have questions that cant be answered,
than answers that cant be questioned.
