You Must Not Think

You must not think
it’s useless to have trudged
the overgrown path
to make a road
easier for the one to follow.

We must grow up
and put on training pants.
It is time.
We must develop discipline
to house the night’s pleasures
and discipline
to work our days.

Evolution is what the name
of the game is
but it really is life;
a way station only to the stars,

on the way home.
