Carpe Viam Carpe Diem (third position third construction)

Come on, seize that fucking road!
The strong, steady, stained
and chiselled path, scratched out
from chalk-filled touches
of our nakedly-conceived dreams.
For it is here, and now,
and desperately pleads to be run upon.
Let us fly! With all our bloody heart’s
filled desire and open honest sense
of worth. Before time's
cold-faced scythe slips and casts
its heavy lot against us.
For the day here is not young
and beats with an ever-eager, pumping breast.

Come on, seize this day!
Take it for all it's worth,
for destiny is not
on the horizon; She is
close now, with bated breath
and hints of rare design
upon the line; And with
her flag raised high,
she begs us to reach up
for that opening door. So then,
let us finally note that a pen now stands
where a sacred sword once stood;
Yet it renders and cleaves
better than any solid weapon ever could.
