The randomness of truth causes continual deflection, due to constant reminders of our prevailing direction. The life long endeavor, to attain a long life, could end prematurely with the slip of a knife. Whereas faith and hope are all that we have, they are nothing more than a provisional salve. Uncertainty dwells in the back of our minds, The human condition and fear intertwined. Here today, gone tomorrow, Most of us wish for more time we could borrow. The majority will do anything to keep on the blinders, But just closing our eyes will remove few reminders. There are 2 main certificates involved in this game, one for birth, one for death, but they sure aren't the same. So live for today cuz you never do know, Maybe tomorrow is the time you will go.

Growling with joy of hearing whines; they're the biggest fighter around. All muscle, all teeth, all beast, all hustle; they are strong, they can bite, they can fight, they will win. Lots of hustle, lots of meat, lots of streaks, lots of muscle; they're not wrong, they're not right, they're not light, they're never pinned.

The use of 'cuz' instead of 'because' is unacceptable laziness, especially as it was unnecessary. 'Because' would have scanned just as well if you'd left out the word 'do' from the same line. Overall, a good effort, but take care with future works. edited by authorised1960 on 5/7/2017
