Revolutionaries

Clashes, battles,
combat, war.
Waste of time, resources, efforts, life.

Seems valid to face off,

discuss, dialogue, debate.

Negotiate and compete, if it helps.

Isn't it more effective, productive and wise,
to coexist, cooperate, collaborate,
with conscience, intelligence, reverence?
The proof is in the consequence.

Naive, deluded are we?
We are visionaries, revolutionaries,
rejecting, renouncing, questioning
the cult of the zero sum.
