Half Empty, Half Fool

You can burn me, I won’t club you
You can push me, I won’t shove you
You can hate, but I will love you
As I soar so far above you

You can steal, and I’ll still give
And you can kill but I will live
And you may bend, but I’ll stay stiff
‘Cause my beliefs contain no “if’s”

Your life’s a night while mine’s a day
My bridge stands firm as yours does sway
Do what thou wilt, you surely may
But I shall choose the Higher Way

For if your path’s a path of ease
Then why do you look so diseased?
Instead of being largely pleased
It seems to me that you’re deceived
