Better Be
Better be a joker than a depressed man.
Better be kind and compassionate than an evil man.
Better be a good man than a bad man.
Better live in the now than live in the then.
Better be courageous and full of balls and fire.
Than be a wimp living in a straw house that'll burn with fire.
Better be willing to live for your principles and die for them.
Than be a drunken and reckless fool that lives in mayhem.
Better be happy than sad.
Better be a good dad than a bad dad.
Better be a good husband than a foolish selfish man.
Better be a masterly man that a servile man.
Better live for now for the right moral principles
That'll bring happiness, joy and wealth to these carnivores.
Better enjoy their health and share their joys in the existence of the herbivores.
Better eat salad with your meat and wine so these cannibals are happy.
Better accommodate all the whims and fantasies of mankind in shaping your life.
Better listen to the politicians, with their rules and regulations
before you wash your dishes in this life.
The dishes won't be clean unless the politicians say so
It's no longer about water and washing up liquid.
It is about them, their laws change at their whim and the colour of their slimy bile.
Better be a drunk that can't talk or walk
Than a drunk that holds a knife to your neck in the dark.
Better be sober in the morning so you can do a full day’s work,
So ex-wife won't scream at you when you can't pay child support.
Better listen to what everyone tells you: Politicians---Media and your Ex-Wife.
It's for your own good so you can be happy in your strife.
Better be a robot compromising with everything and everyone
Than be a true thinker if you want to be in the here and now and not be gone.
But I have a dream like Martin Luther King.
My dream speaks of mankind like pebbles on the beach in the land of King
Turning into diamonds and jewels in the bright yellow sun of the day,
Creating through their compassion a world of love and peace in this new day.
