The Reward of An Art
of all the wonders of life in my time
some documentary,history,commentary and mystery
some told of,others heard of,noon seen of
be it fairy tale,moon light tale or bed side tale
ALL after the taste,this taste,one taste
he that seek knowledge ha shall find
is it for the records or for mere fun?
that you can sacrifice candles and the night
futures are made or marred at night hours
so what you read will lead
a second look and thought will make the difference
judging the look of things you've been long on this path
why aren't you part of the fat?
oh,maybe you are among the thinking side
the heart that pumps the life without seeing the light
have you heard of any stories of you predecessors?
of one,two,three or more of same fate
learn from them,hope it won't divert your line
everyone needs a model,an example and mirror fellow
now why the enthusiasm?if the base be this little
