Chalice
(A Poem-Prose written by Martin Eden on 5 & 6 June 2009)

A repository of genetic mutation I am
The blood that courses through my veins
Pulsates the demands of those before me
It’s hard to be me
Yet there’s a sense of strange belonging
In the face of the many creeds and fears
Externally pressured upon me

A desert I must cross
With each recurring vacuum of the mind
Where opportunist creeds and fears jump in
To take away control
And self-motivation is the prize
Of dug-in persistent action
And an unsurrendered personal whole
