Life Mistakes

Oh, how many errors were made
And how little was accomplished…

When you walk through life
And look at everything around…
One irresolvable conundrum:
‘Sellout, lie and backstab people
 To gather Power, Money?
 Or, maybe better give your conscience rest?’

In order not to be ashamed 
For what was done in journey
And don’t have compunctions all the way 
Despite of being surrounded by Power, Money
And be bereft of friends when it’s all ended.

But everything in life is very straightforward
And answer conjured up (at least for me): 

When going through life and in a process
You need to give right answer
 To a simple stupid question:
‘How pleasant it is for you
 To look inside thy soul and not to cringe 
 From overwhelming pangs of conscience
 For what was done along the way
 In order to achieve All Mighty Power, Money?
 And not close eyes in pain, feeling regrets?’
