What Sets Some Apart

Oh, sedated world
through it we're hurled
as we visit on eternity's path,

we sample of hope
while we struggle to cope
with infections, like hatred and wrath.

To all our dismay
there's so little "play"
when addressing life's negative themes,

the drama balloons, here
are all filled with fear
our only escape's in our dreams.

Some can endure
their hearts clean, and pure
as recently fallen snow,

the rest all move on
their smiles all but gone
with fate, the lone entity to know.

Those few, set apart
who smile from the heart
and resemble not, those who are lost,

they've a positive way
to navigate through the day
because they're faithful, no matter the cost.
