Realize Why
12/7/16
This is for anyone here and those no longer alive
Worldwide
All of humankind
Realize
Why there are things money can never buy
Try to connect the dots and read in between the lines
With your eyes
Or ears and hands if you're blind
Otherwise
What happens next just may be a suprise
Everybody wants a piece of the pie
And to win the top prize
Got to capitalize
When opportunity arrives
Don't tell lies
No good in having to rely
On being able to hide behind a disguise
Seemingly nearby
Yet so far away and high
All kinds of objects in the sky
The sun sets or begins to rise
And shine
Before five and after nine
Putting all bull**** aside
Took drives
Through the country and ocean side
To listen to music and unwind my mind
Or to pick up supplies
And take care of business from the start to the finish line
Before the concept of time
Events could interwine
And coincide
Many of which would be difficult to describe
Be responsible and think wise
Let me emphasize
Why
You've only got so much time
The body grows and climbs
Reaching it's prime
Then goes downhill and dives
Folk of the same or different tribes
Any lifeform eventually reaches it's demise
And just may rot out with the flies
