the good, the bad, the ugly

The good, the bad, the ugly
I'm tryna be good, but the bad, the ugly
How do i do it, when bad is tryna hug me
I say bad is most probable, if you ask me
And thats just ugly
Good never seem to have chance
Its easier to fall back than advance
I can count my good,
but i lost count of my bad
I lost count, my bad
How often do you notice
How often do you observe
Bad makes the news
Good is thrown to the fools
Good or bad you choose
Fine a line that marks the donts, the do's
To be good, there's always an extra ounce
Bad is common un-announced
This truth is ugly,
Eyes squint in light
and open wide at night
Bad is easy to attain
Infact, as soon as you stop aiming at ten
on your plate, a full dose of pain
Dont struggle to climb, and you are on the ground again
You've got to work to your good
Break a bone or two
Walk the fire to your new
Like all valuables do
The good, the bad, the ugly
Relate, like parables do

Now, this is something to have on someone's mind. I would have to agree with this poem. The bad is the most talked about, reported on and noticed. The good goes unnoticed so often that I believe there's a lot of people out there who prefer to just go with the bad, rather than the good because it gets them noticed. Hence; the fights and deaths that are constantly reported about on the news and in articles, but they leave out the good of the towns and cities and people. It makes us scared to react or reach out, but if they went out of their way just to be good, to report on the good then we would all be better off. I think it would take out some of the fear in the world.

I really like this piece, therefore I have added it to my library and gave you a full 100 rating. It makes people think, it makes them want to be good because there is so much bad, and in that I believe this to be a great piece. Wonderfully done.
