Introspection
Are you lying in the bed you made
Or lying through your teeth
Are you praying for a better day
Or preying on the weak
Are you giving the world everything you have
Or taking from it what you can
Are you working on building relationships
Or always fighting against the man
Do you look for the good in everyone
Or look to everyone for the goods
Do you give one hundred and ten percent
Or not even do the things you should
Do you think about the things you say
Or always say the things you think
When you lead a horse up to the water
Do you force that horse to drink
We make choices every day
With ramifications far and wide
Please take precautions not to hurt
Those along with you on the ride
