How to you like it
when stories grow;
your conscience leaps
the public sleeps?

when idealism loses it's sheen
life you wanted is but a dream;
do you like it when the public frowns
do you like it when you're seen upside down?

find it easy to vacilate
when tardiness is not a piece of cake?
find it easy to continue to harvest and hustle
when the seeds you planted take more than muscle?

like it or not you try again
take out the spots, they must not stain,
change your old tape from "if only I could"
into a new one, "this is something I should"

Who cares what he public thinks? LOL...this is very very true, I love this verse.

"like it or not you try again
take out the spots, they must not stain,
change your old tape from "if only I could"
into a new one, "this is something I should"

But don't change too much for publics opinion. Remain true to yourself. nice write, makes one think. floria
