Goes Without Saying

3/27/22 It all goes without saying At times it's mentally draining Physically straining In my head and heart constantly raining Still in training In order to reach great things Can't get it done by waiting Give it all your best attempt before chance is fading From bad choices, still paying Couldn't fix it by praying Or constant gaming Humans always think it's theirs for the taking To this day complaining Blaming others and hating People betraying And shaming Endless misbehaving And slaying An ugly picture is what they're painting And portraying All this snaking And faking Is taking form and shaping Toward forsaking On a journey that can be painstaking As well as backbreaking And heart aching Heads shaking The Earth quaking Only concern is money-making And that in first they are placing Secret shading All this debating Hiding something overlaying Eventually the layers flaking Thought it'd occur in the fall But you can't just see it all Through a crystal ball Let it sink in, and pause You either are or are not helping out the cause What you did was or was not worthy of applause Everything comes with it's flaws
