Reality Bites

Reality Bites Off to my right stands damnation a road once I raced headlong seeking every pleasurable sensation ALL was a dance and a happy song! Death, hell was an eternity away smashing every stone was a deed let any future life skip or pay fruit ate from my every dark seed! Behind me was an old dirty road ahead lay glory in rapt attention my soul was what I freely sold excuses, were such an easy invention! The NOW came knocking one fine day landing a swift kick to my face hurt came on board with no delay suddenly I was dead last in the race! Waking up suddenly life was pain happy go lucky quickly ran away deep blues almost ran me insane jolly band stops, you going to pay! Robert J. Lindley

Hi Robert. Well, we can't go on forever ignoring consequences of our actions, at some point it just becomes to clear. The lessons of life are there for to learn from and with Gods help we will. I liked the poem a lot and read it a few times. Very well done, my friend.... Robert.
