Mirror

8/11/16


Looking into a mirror
With smudges and smears

New things each and every year
Across the hemispheres

I'll tell you what, I no longer care to hear
About any theory of if you think the end is near

I'm being sincere
Across the entire frontier

Got to take it to the next gear
As opportunites appear

Thinking wise, it's all so clear
No need to fear
Seriously try to be successful with your career

Otherwise the results just may be severe
And you'd be lucky to be left with a souvenir

Believe me, you've got to persevere
And steer

Regardless of if you ever want to contribute and volunteer
As meteor showers and falling stars premiere far away and close to here

Pay attention, listen and use your ears
Among forests with deers and by the piers

Anytime and place, below and above the atmosphere
Where humans any anything else has and hasn's pioneered
