make it betterA Poem by RuseInexi woke up to walk about with pain all over my body my back, my joints, my feet, hands and limbs and more it was a struggle to do it all i had to hold my own
i grit my teeth and clench my jaw, adding to the pain my 3 dogs offered no relief, oblivious to my torment, they had theirs, it was hot and they're worn too
they followed me everywhere i went, as i adjusted this, adjusted that, doing this and doing that
i bent, i strained, i refrained from cursing them away 'cuz at times like this it feels like someone asking you to recite a poem in 105 degree weather and you, swinging a hammer
i tolerated the struggle as best as i could knowing that the day would go speedily fast it would leave no real gain other that i'd have done my part to keep entropy at bay, at least minimally
we've all got responsibilities gotta do 'em, if you don't you're in worse shape you'll regret it the pain won't let you forget it it'll be ten fold if you fold your arms and yield in to sluggish ineptitude of thing called laziness or apathy, to put it less bluntly
you have no choice none of us do unless we give up and then we fall by the wayside like human litter unkempt, rotting away from top to bottom
it's the law of the land no escape gotta fight gotta try it's just the way it is make create contribute invent paint and craft share it with everyone you meet whether in pain or not easier said than done is the rub now go out if you can take real care and try, make it a better place than when you found it © 2017 RuseInex |
