Insipid
Bitter gall upsize
For folly you prize
Native of worry
In your sad story
Plunder with lame vice
In sorry surprise
Lean on naked woes
That cast painful shores
Touch of vile bad luck
Denial feels awestruck
You can do much more
If only you store
Come to terms here friend
Do make impact trend
Rise again and fight
Dare to do what's right
Earn then your free lunch
Work the number crunch
Each man must dare pay
For fare and for play
He who digs a pit
Must bear life's harsh hits
Dare to attend gall
With a wake-up call
Pain is a sure sign
To forge wise align
When darkness floods round
Find shelter most sound
He falters can rise
Heed truth to be wise
To deny the truth
Ply ignorant proof
