Shark Life F D C Made Clear

Life ain't for the plenty

Instead it rather

Chooses to 

Extracts it kicks from praying 

On the mild mannered and the meek

Life is like a thief 

That seems to be 

It's one and only brief

And if you don't believe me 

Ask the ghostly sewer children

Lying in the fetal position 

With a blank expression

Both

Wondering and pondering

The eternal question

For one last time

Before they did

Why 
Oh
Ohh
Why

What

The hell did I do wrong

I wasn't even here that long 

Only to be and get told

Doesn't matter

Life ain't for the plenty

Only those who are willing

To take not only their 

Share

But everyone else's

As well

I think in the grand scheme of things you are bang on Christopher, life ain’t for the plenty, poets can write their good intentions til the cows come home, but it does not change that fact, say it as it is, just as you do here, excellent work, cheers David
