Flying High

Measure for measure
  Tit for tat
What goes around, comes around
  Don't spit at that

Now you're flying high
  You think the world owes you
  ~ In the blink of an eye
  You'll be paying your dues

Our fortunes can change in the blink of an eye - I also really like the cadence of the first two lines :)

We all pay our dues in one way or another for sure!

Hi Gershon, These are wise words indeed. A person with that attitude will find out sooner or later; that the world doesn’t owe them anything. Your comments with Lindsay Laurie inspired some good writes:-)Alexis

Great one! As people slide into position, they find their posture alarming. God is watching. As in the old days one must show if they rebuild the high places or serve the Lord God! Bless you, dear one!

If only you had studied punctuation in school, Kim. I see that you started your comment with 'Great one!' Didn't you mean to capitalize the 'o' in 'one' and a place a comma after that word as well?! lol. ~ The One and Only Great Garcon
