Own Eyes

1/30/16 There is still so much here and in outerspace to study In all, it ain't that funny I got to make more money Across the states and countries Filled with snakes and monkeys Regardless of whether or not the terrain may be muddy And if many of the days are bloody Throughout many of the Earth's cycles I ran on the dirt in the wilds Then realized what is worthwhile As I looked into the flames of a burn pile I saw her smile With my own eyes No lie So I Told her the truth, and worked to make things happen instead of letting opportunity go by Near and far away from areas that were bone-dry Many things are beyond our control Light years beyond the north and south poles Do positive and negative make a whole?
