You Pay The Price Poem by Oleg Vorobyov
You Pay The Price
The palpable cuirasse of intellect
Allowing stand out and to pledge
Posh knowledgeability and wit, -
A powerful reach...
/Howewer,
It is likely to be spurned
By faulty health,
Apnoea, teeth decayed, digestion weak
Against the intellectual tour de force/
You pay the price.
The dream man, almost a Vitruvius man,
Full of good deeds and never deemed a cad,
Solicitous, strong-minded, altruist, -
A dream in flesh...
/Albeit,
It can be overthrown
By a ghastly wife,
Suspicious, nagging skirt, obnoxious curse and sneak
Against the righteous course/
You pay the price.
Be born on blessed Earth, nor dismal Mars,
In this astounding place where life's in bud and leaf,
The only comfortable seat in th' lonely Universe, -
The winning card...
/Mayhap,
It's likely to be scrapped
By life's expiring breadth,
Protracting for a while and ultimalely shorn
Against the hedonistic vital breath/
You pay the price.

Thank you, dear poet, for the feedback! Being sometimes on a reflective tack, I give thought to the idea of a double-edge nature of the human supremacy, nevertheless attenuated by stains of faultiness. There's no absolute goodly, there must be something underdog pettiness, and such we are, men, even Homer nods!
