Laws of Caustic Cause

A day can make a harder week A week can make a month of pain A month of pain a year so bleak It feels like drowning in the rain These are the little riddles in the middle of insane A little bit can satisfy A little more can saturate An overdose can nullify And even can obliterate This is a truth from early youth you should incorporate The pain in gain is absolute The loss we lose is lost to time These are the rules beyond refute There is no certainty sublime Not even in the meter or perfection of the rhyme The thing that brings contentment now Can later be a heavy weight The face of grace is changing how We rearrange our future fate These are the laws of caustic cause that make survival great The hope to cope with life and stress Is just a product of the game Do not deny your own success Nor feel a need for useless shame Just calculate and educate to fuel survival's flame A thought or two from me to you As thoughts display a varied face Some thoughts are false - some thoughts are true So choose a truth you can embrace And may your days be free to play a part in every race
