Reconfigure Your Magic Lath

Chances and choices to grow
Chances and choices to taste
Chances and choices to blow and throw
Chances and choices to invest or waste

Same chances for Tom and John
Same chances for Mary and Martha
Same chances for June and Jane
Same chances for Betty and Bertha

No rivers of tears to cry
If chances you squander
No matter how much you try
To console your blunder at the sound of thunder

Tearing your overcast sky
Unless in your life you inject order
To jettison the blue lie
Thar denies the hand you play in the disorder

For which by design you crave
To reap the whirlwind you sow
Pretending your paper tiger grows brave
When it self inflicts low

Blows all the while dreaming repeating the same discredited methods
Yields better outcomes
Despite playing new music on dissonant cords
Assuming oversize claims

Fate disavows
Unless you rejig and reconfigure the path
To success which cows
Steps to reengineer your magic lath.
