It doesn’t pay to get heated
Over things we can’t control
It doesn’t always pay to be
Responsible either if they
Can rip it away from you
It only takes time to heal
The heat the pain the anger
Out of our hands fuming
No matter how you build
No matter how they steal
Recall sitting at the back porch
Not a penny to my name
Begging for a break
Trying hard to get ahead
And enjoy it in the end
A chance to profit
Pied in the face again
Like a tornado
Or Mother Nature
Nothing is permanent
In the end
Ahead once more and then…
Things get given
Things get taken
Impermanence
Brief eternal
The ups and downs
Are still a thing
It’s truly temporary
In the grand scheme
Everything stands
Momentarily in the end
