In Moderation

IN MODERATION By: William S. Labtis Anything….taken in excess is wrong! Physically, morally or legally! What may cause or uncaused you Un-ending indigestion, detestation protestation , exhaustion or exhumation! After that condemnation…is a word of caution! We may take it lightly or seriously Everything of anything maybe precariously Must be inconsideration always To a safety-net should command To seemingly good and blessedly We must think twice and wisely Look back for moderation as a demand. Having dealt with in practice Totally or wildly these earthly vices Will surely become a backfire. In any ground, workplace or perchance Omit or commit, the end is indeed the measure In battlefields, too much is an extreme Nothing is lost than yourself alone. Next, coming soon, live or let live Everyday, every hour and every minute Playfully, habitually, illegally or criminally You may think the law dismiss or spare What may be done uncommon or un-naturally As the mean justify the end, automatically As the best judgment…is moderation! Partake and indulge Why not! But have we considered There are other lives who wanted to live By themselves, with you ,however, never cared So much we have taken advantaged of Disheartened and engaged with and prejudiced Nothing in exchange for moderation The best of times. May have leisurely come Grasped handily, nevertheless, having done Against the law of Heaven and man Humanly physical. biological and environmental and material But you have gone so far so fatal Forgot moderation which could have been sweetly natural must prevail.
