Benefit of the Doubt
8/12/16
Little by little
Bodies of water start to trickle
Because of there being no drizzle
And the sun continuing to sizzle
Droughts
Making it difficult for plants to sprout
Give others the benefit of the doubt
And next thing you know they want to take you out
Good riddance
Forget those that just want to nitpick
And stick their noses in other's business
Make some moves
Underneath the sun and moon
During midnight, morning, evening and the afternoon
Try to improve
Keep on your feet
Make sure you and the ones each get to eat
No respect to those that need to cheat
And only display greed like creeps
Take some risks
And use your gifts
While navigating, hills, straight paths, and twists
Among so many atoms
Make it happen
Regardless of the success and famine
For heaven's sake
Some just want to hate
And continue being fake
I just can not relate
