Life erupts in violent shifts
Lifted high from fissures and rifts
It forms in ridges and spreads in range
Sliding and cracking in resistance to change
We strive to shape it to fit an ideal
Its flaws we attempt to conceal
We chip and carve and cleave away pieces
Our discontentment never ceases
The crest and valleys make us unique
Our achievements displayed in every peak
To smooth it away leaves us plain
Yielding a mundane terrain
The magnificence lies in the rare and the raw
The elegance tied to the odd and the awe
Seeking conformity just causes strife
The scree and talus is the best part of life
