Greater Good

8/24/17




In and out the neighborhood
For the greater good

Across the land
Had

To accelerate
And elevate
Occasionally taking time to celebrate


To my own suprise
Certain things turned out to be a blessing in disguise


Powered by panels that are solar
Through the eye of the beholder
Couldn't keep a chip on my shoulder
While getting older
Not going to be the one getting rolled over
While moving boulders

Don't get me started
Something that should be regarded
A fool and his money are easily parted
Near and far from areas still uncharted

A picture paints a thousand words
Or so I've heard
And observed
