Eternity
12/27/20
Moving horizontally and vertically
It was an accident or done purposely
It's been disturbing me
Nothing lasts for an eternity
You either do or don't live life worry-free
With no urgency
Even during an emergency
Regardless of the uncertainty
Working earnestly
Always showing courtesy
Going through hard times currently
Not giving one hundred percent, only one-third of me
From Cachagua to beyond Germany
The skies occasionally burgundy
On a daily basis doctors perform surgery
On patients with or without burns that are third degree
Close to or far from a nursery
As well as objects made with or without mercury
Folks sometimes committing perjury
And far too often taking things personally
It's absurdity
That they did a burglary
During their anniversary
I don't hate you
I know we do or don't hold the same views
They didn't or they knew
Wasn't always able to make do
Took one, time I take two
Working towards a breakthrough
Neverending Story, like Atreyu
I won't or just may prove
That I can pull my own weight too
Animal and human life is sacred
Waters getting tainted
An ugly picture being painted
Time continually wasted
A nation, ahem, I mean nations full of hatred
On a daily basis, topics being debated
Prices rarely dropping, usually inflated
In this way it hasn't been stated
Since life was created
Got to face it, if you want to make it
No matter if your elated or frustrated
And feeling devastated
Better save it, or you'll be annihilated
Yet another lifeform obliterated
Not fully aware of their situations
Or ready for any incoming complications
