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 By: Dalton Ogletree
