Insipid

Bitter gall upsize For folly you prize Native of worry In your sad story Plunder with lame vice In sorry surprise Lean on naked woes That cast painful shores Touch of vile bad luck Denial feels awestruck You can do much more If only you store Come to terms here friend Do make impact trend Rise again and fight Dare to do what's right Earn then your free lunch Work the number crunch Each man must dare pay For fare and for play He who digs a pit Must bear life's harsh hits Dare to attend gall With a wake-up call Pain is a sure sign To forge wise align When darkness floods round Find shelter most sound He falters can rise Heed truth to be wise To deny the truth Ply ignorant proof Leon Enriquez 27 March 2015 Singapore
