Staring Down the Barrel of the Advice Gun

"Do what you want son". 
Five words that can feel like a metric tonne. 
Or keep you grounded through electric fun. 
Eject, discard and reload the magazine of your advice gun, cause' at the minute, I've got next to none. 

Give and take, it's a one way street. 
Face down in the ditch of defeat. 
Delivering dreams feels more like chewing on a mouthful of seagull secrete coated concrete. 
No choice but to stand up, put a finger up to the so called 'elite' and attempt to keep your war & battle that little bit discrete.

I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
