in a fast paced society
full of cleverly hidden morality
we find the majority of all true hope
lost sadly in its wake
and since self honesty it seems has become
the next victim of inconsideration's unwarranted
fatality
I can't help but wonder
what next will be put at stake
love can have a big voice in even the smallest man's
heart
but its not always that same voice that shoves man
out of harm's way
but when he is able to locate his such said instrument
the need becomes great to play his part
as have I in this pain free attempt at profitable prose
I've covered many bases and stormed by all the offered
throws
never should self contempt be permitted a place to
play in this game
for its presence lowers the odds of winning and
re-points the formidable finger of blame
to who it will point to next is not for innocent I
to say
now that I have successfully completed my promised
tour allow me the courtesy to listen where I lay........
