Facts of Life

In words I find serenity, simple or just too plain. And in life I seek wisdom, in words of the insane. My lips reject profanity, coerced or merely in pain. No point in being vulgar, politeness I should attain. No one is near perfect, benevolent or humane. When humble and not too pompous, respect I am to gain. No word shall outlive wisdom, in hearts or in the brain. My words can be bitter, when failing to refrain. If needed I am present, of duty I can’t complain. What good is solid friendship? if friendship we can’t sustain. Good deeds will get you credit, successful or in vain. If I am to be a martyr, in battle I should be slain.
