The humble man
From the day we are born and enter the world
A million things in our direction are hurled
So much to remember, so much for us to learn
Where ever life takes us every twist and turn
No set criteria, no blueprint from which to follow
The love and support we receive can often be hollow
Not everyone is lucky to have a loving family to rely upon
Fair-weather friends only there when it suits, then are gone
Through our schooling, and if we are lucky college education
We are taught values, right and wrong, whatever the situation
How we interpret what we see and hear sometimes confused not always clear
What influences us upon our journey and the course we steer?
Some work hard struggling to get what they need
While others take what they want consumed by greed
That in a nutshell is the harshness of life
A cutthroat journey everyday riding the knife
Some seek to gain from others misery and pain
Some take the risks and then others blame
The world in which we live we show little concern
Ultimately, from our misguided ways the harshest of lessons we will learn
We take for granted the things we have because that is all we know
While those less fortunate struggle with nothing to show
The general consensus being it will not happen to me
Tunnel vision, rushing headlong unable to see
When disaster strikes and the safety net fails
The juggernaut of life comes abruptly off its rails
A moment of clarity and stark realization
We are all to blame each and every nation
Thinking of others as well as ourselves and giving support
If we ignore we are only selling ourselves short
Life is for all and not just the few, in word and deed we must be true
For ultimately in life we will be held accountable for everything we do
Despite the trials and the tribulations
The difficulties and endless frustrations
Whether or not my life has gone to plan
I will always remain a humble man
