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
