Elusive Lesson

Here today

Gone tomorrow

We put such stock in

What brings such sorrow

We obtain what we want

Then hold it so tight

And we’re all broken up

When it fades from our sight

We spend our whole lives

Fighting tooth and nail

To achieve all we want

And then watch it fail

Again and again

We’ll try and we’ll try

But still never learn

Till after we die

Free To Be Them

So many believe it better

To be inferior and applauded

Than superior and anonymous

Tis better to be wrong in a crowd

Than be correct alone.

The non conformist merely

Conforms to a different standard,

Smaller, yet a crowd just the same.

For freedom is abhorrent

It demands accountability

Imitation is the sincerest form

Of unoriginality.

A P&L Statement

Nobody cares if you’re down and out.

Nobody cares if you’re successful either.

Unless they can benefit somehow.
