It is good that you are righteous, <br /> because you almost didn't have that chance, <br /> you don't remember giving - up on life, <br /> and youv'e convinced yourself, <br /> that it never really happened. <br /> <br /> It's good that your'e self - righteous, <br /> which means you are your asshole self, <br /> and those of us that gave a damn, <br /> - - - rescued you from you. <br /> <br /> You are the man you always should have been, <br /> but, now your'e passing judgement, <br /> from your current mountain top, <br /> ... as if before meant nothing. <br /> <br /> Those proud and hazy decades, <br /> of drugs and sex and ' Rock -N - Roll, <br /> don't allow for you to make mistakes, <br /> ... and therefore no one else can. <br /> <br /> It is good that your'e self - righteous, <br /> and if that means you'll never be, <br /> a friend again to me - - - <br /> ... I can live with that!<br /><br />Barry Van Allen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/living-with-it/
