Heeding Morals
Jockeying my fortunes,
I moved efforts on the sly,
Did many things on tip toe and fly,
Some of it was good and right,
Most of it was bad mocking forthright,
I killed and maimed many winged hopes,
In efforts to get in my ropes,
Now that I sit back and count,
All that I gained and found,
The balance is simply not there,
There is plenty,
But bliss no where,
I am haunted at nights,
By my dirty past blights,
I am still riding the life steed,
But have several morals,
To which I pay studious heed.
