Wayne Smith Poet Rhyme

No Moaning

There’s absolutely no value in complaining to anyone in this world today.
Fifty percent of the people don’t really care and the other fifty percent are glad it’s not them anyway
To constantly be expressing resentment, and dissatisfaction and always one to grumble,
Is simply a poor choice and a waste of time when that energy could be spent being humble.

The situation is similar to an aged dog lying on a porch,  on top of a nail constantly moaning.
He lacks the fortitude to get up and the will to move, and he is satisfied to continue groaning.
It is time to realize that we all have greatness if only we tap into the source.
When you find that spark, it will ignite a blazing fire and in that, you’ll find more power for the course.

Speaks Volumes December 18, 2022 at 1:27 AM Oh I have to have a moan sometimes, otherwise they would leave every thing to me. But mostly I buck right up and get the job done on my own, without the benefit of a moan. Great poem Wayne. All too true.
