The Horizon

 

For what reason is it worth

When everyone expects to get hurt

With views so far down and out

All outcomes are certainly shaded with doubt

To be open in mind is a virtue, for all to see

But can only be accepted by those who see gain every day

Many are the reasons beyond my knowledge that often hold truth

But to be cynical about that truth often is being uncouth

In being unwilling to accept change

One truly is admitting that something has gone astray

To be general and undefined in all aspects

Quite often brings with it  long years of disrespect

To search in cause of reason longtime lost

Brings rewards by finding it regardless of cost

In those times that we feel our experience stems

We perhaps will find a system that often wins

Yet do not be mistaken if perfection is sometimes lost

For to be a perfect some one it will dearly cost

To strive with success as your friend

You will never need to pretend in the end

Through questions life will many times speak

You will always be given the opportunity to seek

To be given all on a silver platter

Is of no more importance than an obvious answer

To search with your own free will

Completion has even a greater smell

So come out from where ever you are

And be happy in no matter what you star

Of what matters are gossip

When there is nothing in life to start up

Let no one live your life for you

Because in the end it will be left untrue

Stand up even if being proven wrong

For if you hide, your life will be so fruitlessly long

If in others opinions you do not agree

There will always be a truth in it for you to see.
