Nobody Asked Me, Just Saying...

Listless eyes no longer,
     with head downcast,
     yes,
     but determined
     yet again,
     no this Time
     it is the Last;
     the last time misunderstood
     for I will watch longer,
     make sure the case is stronger
     for what is more Powerful
     than One who lies to themselves?; 
     the Casual Observer
     soon loses himself
     what he sees
     in the maze of angry comments,
     frustrated cries and sotto voce insults
     and desperate looks in eyes,
     pleading without know the need,
     for when you don't recognize
     the issue at hand
     it's like trying to mend the fence
     without first clearing the brush...
Rome was not built in a day,
     neither did it fall into ruin overnight,
     it was a long time in decay;
     the choice was obvious,
     stay and rebuild
     or just move away
    and wake to another sunrise...
Shake yourself, wake yourself,
     you're not as you would have yourself,
     have a laugh or cry over yourself
     and change yourself first,
     then do the best you can...
