First-Hand

8/26/16

It's not always easy to hit the mark with what you'd like to orchestrate
Certain materials beginning to corrugate
Meanwhile not everything is able to correlate

How can I believe?
If it's something I haven't seen?
Across the lands and seas
People having jamborees
Near and far from areas with Chimpanzees

Past expiration date foods and liquids will eventually turn bad
Anywhere across the Earth lands
If you work hard enough, and make mistakes then you just may experience things first hand
But never let that stop you from trying to learn as much you can

Trends come and go
Tread carefully and with dexterity around any undertow
Realize we're not getting any younger so
Might as well let your true colors show
