A Litany for Survival Poem: drive.google.com/file/d/0B1zVlb5kbMySV0tZZnhUa0ZYQXc/view This poem is about the fear of pursuing dreams, and the frequent human tendency to choose a stable life path to ensure survival and a good future instead of taking risks and attempting to follow goals and aspirations. It repeats the line “we were never meant to survive”, which is an ode to the cliche “I don’t want to survive, I want to live.” This signifies that even though some people are alive, they aren’t truly living to their full potential, and are just going through the motions of life. Instead of following their dreams and going out and making a difference, people are just getting by, being mediocre but stable, in fear of failure. This leaves remnants of emptiness and unfulfillment, since we only have this one life, the poem advises we grasp life by the reigns and choose our destiny instead of just hanging on for the ride.
