We can pee triumphant or pee defeated

A friends poem I just had to share. Thanks Bret. It goes with the pissing into a beam he wrote earlier.

Living upright is complicated
And not something to be delegated
Enduring each absurd resistance
We seek some sense of this existence
So I offer here what I've observed
When insight came and I did not swerve:

Life is not a waiting room,
It's not meant to make you nervous
Or lodge complaint over what you ain't
While you wait for better service

Life is not a booby prize
A panacea of boundless lies
Where passions drown in compromise
And survival requires alibis

For a better world, hope springs eternal
That we shall rise to seize the day
But then, like pee going down the urinal
May fear we merely piss our lives away

But urine, like shit, is a neutral substance
It has no case that must be pleaded
We can pee triumphant or pee defeated
It all depends how it's secreted.
