A Better Life

What is a better life to you
and is it what you think?
Is that the thing you want to do
or is it not the trink?

Have you a way to see the world
that makes it better for you?
Or are you sure you haven't thought
more things are meant just for you

Perhaps to put the others first
means happiness around
Or just the people you would want
without their horrible found

To say you'd want a better way
might be to help them out
By giving them more easy krind
to offer them some sout

To offer them what you would want
an easy way of life
To see the neighbor just as you
some help and some trife

Where all could be as God could see
combarein to a cause
Of helping others see the light
and working for their flaws

Breakfast In the South

as i stand on my legs
i love eggs
with beacon too i tell you
to make it quick
give me some quick grits
to get it right
not eat light
the  here's the rout
BREAKFAST IN THE SOUT
