Sum

Either you be good at two things
Or be best at one
A choice to have to only have been
A life in summed

We have to be good at what we do
Can we still afford mistakes at this day and age?
We are growing beyond understanding knew
We have too much answers for a one question’s gauge

Perhaps you do need to be old to see
What the youth now sees as oppose
But the young won’t see how once is to be
Exactly how the old won’t commit as suppose

It’s hard to change beyond comfort
I can understand and I cannot…
We are forced without the given word
Because it’s all you to give thought

Everyone can be good at multiple things
To be a lesser best at one
Have you a look back to where you have been?
To have a life to only sum
