Seeing things the way most people don't.
Hearing things with an objective ear.
Why does it matter if things don't go the
way you expect?
If God wanted life to be easy, then He
would have made us all perfect.

Who is the person to make you understand?
Is it your mother, father,
teacher, the President? Or is it simply
you? The self-awareness that comes 
knowing life's toils and pains are here to stay,
no matter what you say or do to stop them.

In every aspect, there proves to be some
type of non-cohesive agent that will
help things fall apart.
Pleasure and pain, joy and sorrow,
love and hate; these are the things that make
us all wish that we could have a do-over.

Working on creating a new personality 
is as easy as trying to pull a tooth
from a sleeping lion.
Most people can't see that the anger that
is your only saviour cannot be simply
squashed like the everyday beetle underfoot.

In the days before death, there always seems to
be an effervescent flow of visions and 
nuances that no one else sees.
 We are taught that there is life beyond this
world, but do we really choose to believe it?
Only on our death-bed can we see the light.

Hard choices, easy solutions, everyday bullshit;
this is life in general for most of mankind,
though it's hard for some to deal.
What choices do we need to make to step up
our game and live life to the fullest without
worrying about the repurcussions?

Poor, innocent, unwanted, destitute;
this is the way we look at life when it becomes
to hard to deal with.
When is it okay to just sit back and watch life go
by as we rest on our laurels and take another
sip from the snifter?

All mankind will have to eventually
find some recourse from the hell that we
have wrought on ourselves.
For some, it will be the hard choices,
for others, the easy solutions, but for
 the rest of us it is just everyday bullshit.

The things you say in this piece, I can relate to so well. I want to believe that all questions have answers, and we are truly in control of our lives. But sometimes, that is the problem. 10 from me

Life can be a struggle, life can be a joy, and life can be filled with bullshit. The test is how we handle or fall what lies in front of us. Rains on the just and unjust the same. Excellent write and an excellent read.

Wow...the prospect of actually having a "do over" can you imagine how long that line would be??? Good write!

if given a "do over" in life, i would change soooo many things, but that is life and that is how God wants us to live it. thanks, Sam...

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
