Great Lines
GREAT LINES
Soft tissue is the kind to use.
Hard tissue bruises.
Wipe your eyes when you grieve.
Bereavement is at hand.
Issues are the tissue you have.
A wax floor is slippery.
If you fall, I hope you don’t sustain any injuries.
Wipe your eyes as a child.
Let them know you are not to grown to cry.
This floor hurt and now I am [really] hurting inside.
A ball was thrown to you by a car.
You dodge it to defeat being scarred.
However, then a punch was swung for someone other than yourself.
You couldn’t dodge that.
A concussion you have.
Gesturing, you beckon for a friend.
He ignored you because he was with someone else.
You knew this was called a status quo.
You told him later he acted as if he did not know you.
Your feelings were hurt but you hid this well.
Now you and this friend aren’t speaking.
The tester of your faith stands in illumination.
So well lit, you said she might persuade you.
A shining example she would make.
Would you cheat and become hated?
You did deceive but you did it your way.
Take advantage of what is there.
Achieve the ultimate right when you can.
Dupe those who are wrong.
Stand as tall as tall is.
A trick is never a treat to give.
Inspiration is red hot.
Encourage those who are not.
