Idealism : an allegory
Idealism isn't wrong,
it's just that it but keeps on flying
beyond mortal wits and possibilities,
and thus reality refuses to accept her.
She is right, though,
to just keep on flying,
or else she would not be true
to herself and to her idealism,
and there would be no idealism.
That's the risk of true idealism:
it has to fly high in the air
and never tire on her restless wings,
or she will fall and die and perish
and be there no more to be admired
by the happy few who understand
the frail unique imperishable nature
of idealism.
