Shallows and Deep

7/9/17 Whether or not I ever find what I seek You are what you eat Bare foot or with shoes on your feet You can try, but it'll do no good turning the other cheek Nights of very little rest or a great sleep Fields full of wheat And beets A rise of temperature causing lifeforms to overheat You either still got or lost the receipt Bouts of consecutive victories and defeat On dirt roads and in the street In the shallows and deep On the move or taking a seat Daily, monthly, yearly and every single week Some foods that are spicy and sweet The evidence was or wasn't concrete Tasks didn't get finished or were complete Many that just eat greens or meat On either side of the creek Far too many that are a fraud and a cheat Towards them karma and havoc will wreak Near and far from teak Regardless of if the terrain is flat or steep Information kept discrete or getting leaked Resources that are rich or beginning to deplete
