Ode to Peacocks

I really despise
self indulgent girls and guys..   

Could do without all that vanity
and selfish proclivities.. 

And yet.. 

My admiration for their audacity
always doing their own thing
against the hurricane head winds
of stifling conformity
that keeps we cowards in line
is the ultimate conflict
of mixed feelings 
I'll never come to grips with..

Unless..

I can find the inner courage
to move past my judgmental
action inhibiting inclinations
and adopt the philosophy
of grudging acceptance
