You love the stories That you are the victim And you know the truth It is not a sitcom, but The victim is you By your own extremes You thought you were faultless But only in your dreams The truth laid before you Open to everyone and You held your thoughts A lack of toughness it seems Now you face reality It sort of pushes you over board You pull in your wings As to an over lord He gives you direction How to live your life In a way that is fruitful Causes no one any strife You pause and look it over Realize that it makes sense I am no victim you say I am the beginning of enterprise So you begin to get involved This is the way it should be Before long you are the leader Things change to your surprise You sense a feeling of leadership Show other people your way Of course this causes the others To be in a state of dismay But truth is truth and fiction is fiction Your reflections make sense It is just a matter of diction You climb upon your pedestal Preach the teachings of life The cowards shriek and run Believers don’t roll the dice They know the meaning of life The tragedy if it is lost They keep on trudging forward With no interest of the cost Stanski December 18, 2021 ^
