Please yourself
You can please yourself,
Listen,
Or don't listen,
Read,
Or don't read,
React,
Or don't react.
But I am giving you this message anyway,
Before I have cashed in my chips,
With the hope you will take it away,
And give it to others who might one day have a say,
In making sure it sees again the light of day,
While humans still hold sway.
Strong communities have always been,
And always will be,
The difference between a problem solved,
And a problem that has evolved,
Into one that may never be resolved.
Strong communities have always been,
And always will be,
The last line of defense,
When it comes to the survival of humanity.
That's all for today,
I am off to please myself for the rest of the day,
But I think I have enough chips left to play,
In order to pass your way another day,
And phrase the message in a different way,
To increase the chances of it staying in your eye line,
Before I become unreachable on line.
