10/4/19 "A Better Person" Long ago I learned it Nobody on this Earth is Perfect That's for certain I'm determined To be a better person As I continue workin' Ready to handle any burden Not yet affirmative We're still not so sure of it If elsewhere life stirs and exists A solar system full of curses and gifts All these strange occurences In a world that can be merciless Below and above all surfaces People being wasteful and others conservative Food sold with and without preservatives The first to quit Far too often people see no way out, instead of the alternative Stop doing yourself disservices And making foolish purchases Focus on virtousness Considering that nothing remains in a state of permanence Do you know who Tyler Durden is? Are you familiar with Copernicus? Sometimes disasters could've been averted if People came together instead of trying to worship myths Anything against the church, king or queen got discouragement A sudden current shift During a storm, waves continued to turn and flip Nearby a ship was about to swerve and tip So many serpents Others being impertinent And then there's those that want to put you in the dirt quick Yet another work shift Involving vertebrates At times, limbs in dire need of a tourniquet Planes in mid flight, occasionally hit with turbulence Violent crimes causing mass hysteria and disturbances Ever occuring festivals and tournaments Homes with or without trees and ornaments The greedy take it all, while others get nothing Even though they earned a bit At least a third of it Some of which is interpretative All these true stories and even more myths Shout out to a select few herbalists And journalists I haven't yet discovered what my purpose is But, it's all good, I'm still looking with earnestness Prosper Appreciate what this globe has to offer Goodbye, I'm now six feet under where the surface is Now you know, if you haven't yet heard of it By: Dalton Ogletree
