**"Set Back to the Get Back"**
Some people agree, while others disagree; it’s hard to please everyone I see. Do you disagree? Some want me to feel their pain, demanding sympathy without offering any in return. How can they prevail? It’s hard to believe I was once just like them. It’s called “The Set Back to Get Back,” right where they need to be. There won’t be any love lost for a lost cause—wimpy, lazy kids; grown men acting like lazy boys just to bounce back off the springboard.
Those unhappy ones cry like a dreary, rainy night in London. Luck rounds out just like time on wristwatches. Now, who is watching whom? Big Brother, you said you would paint the path, but I guess you left the brush behind. I’m painting a different scenery, voicing my own opinion just to get away. It’s hard to stand by the image that set me back; it’s just too hard to get back.
“The Great Things I See, the Great Things I Don’t Want to Be.”
—JCMT
GOD DEEDS
Setbacks like a trap
I am shackled for another lap
As I cried under the shadow
A river of tears on my face flow
I become weak and then slow
Nobody showed up in my folk
Then they laughed at me when I become a dork
And then God sent an angle
Healed me with the voice of appeal
From the mountains from the uphill
Sound of echo a pact of friends
For the lost sheep, like the God deeds
