Far From Easy
4/10/17
With or without the use of lenses
It happens on both sides of the fences
And just may involve a lot of expenses
Due to not being conscientious
There could be consequences
You should pay attention
And have some better intentions
Better be ready to react keenly
Because this life is far from easy
Daily, year round and weekly
Randomly or routinely
To those that show me love
I extend my hand and give you a hug
Sure to be there for you when push comes to shove
Many believe in something whether or not it is above
Involved in some organization or club
I worked in the mud
And cut up shrubs
While sweating and occasionally dripping blood
In the sunshine, snowfall and rain
Better use your brain
And not always do the same
If you truly want to make some gains
Regardless of if it was difficult to explain
And rather strange
Due to the amount of change
Across a vast range
With many plains
Had to make my claim
Instead of sitting around feeling sorrow and shame
Nothing for certain
The preacher giving their sermon
And animals in areas considered rural or urban
Tasks that seem like a burden
Until you're ready to deal with it in person
