The Good Fight

4-8-11 @8:23am

i only do what needs doin
and try not ruin
anything along the way
it aint always easy
and sometimes it’s sleazy
but at the end of the day
when my work is done
till tomorrows sun comes
in my dreams i laugh and play
and i don’t really care
what they think over there
nor do i listen to what they say
‘cause i know i’ve done right
fighting the good fight
and doing my part to defray
all the nay-sayers
and all the game-players
and if i’m unliked that’s okay
because i know what i do
will be proven true
and i’ll not be chased away
by them that hate
that i control my own fate
and who’s opinion holds no sway

A strong and determined write, Mohawk! You seem to hold your own, and stay true to yourself. "game-players...nah sayers"...what an unhappy lot they must be! Best to you and yours, Mikki
