Fruits We Reap

I was born intelligent As the years crept by I met many agents And turning to say goodbye It was me no longer At some point I was zestful Determined to make it To see my dreams realized But I lacked the guts for it It takes HARDWORK, yes Hardwork that rewards It takes DETERMINATION, yes Determination that spurs It takes CONCENTRATION, yes I lost them all Courtesy, the many agents I am with a brush, soap and towel The posh car comes to a stop I run to meet it Before the other boys do It is my friend A friend I haven't seen Since we said goodbye After school was done I run I hide I cry I weep I call it wasted years Life, why hast thou treated me thus? I scream It is the seed I have sown The fruit I must reap The fruit I must eat.
