The righteous hubris of life
Hubris is allowed and sacred
and not punishable nor subject to nemesis
nor even touchable when it is raised by love
which keeps it flying high with every right
that nothing can put down nor has a right to.
That love made of and sustained by truth and beauty
stands outside mundane restrictions, limitations and dimensions
and can not be violated, persecuted, questioned,
ciriticized, assailed or even analyzed
since it is extraordinarily and altogethet a most different thing
from all things mortal, trivial and normal.
Sticking out is what will mark it,
and the more it ostentatiously sticks out,
the more admirable it is for being individual and personal
and showing off a splendid hubris of integrity,
which must not have or know of any bounds
but must be limitlessly free forever,
since all life depends on it.
