You would rather hear philosophies, <br />Kept to protect ongoing fantasies. <br />Or specified with ideals envisioned, <br />You feel represents values cemented. <br />Values outdated and today making less sense. <br />And I...? <br />I would rather re-invent the wheel. <br />To provide you a less bumpy ride through life. <br />Although a doing of it you will still criticize, <br />Just to give you something to do to disapprove... <br />From a comfort done given to you. <br />And, at my expense for daring to make attempts, <br />To initiate with a completing of what I promised. <br />From start to finish and done within your sight! <br />Has my doing too much of that caused you to backbite?<br /><br />Lawrence S.
