The Hard Honest Truth 

Facts as they are 

Nothing but the truth

Lessons leave a scar.

I know it’s uncouth

But life is quite hard

You want some proof?

Well in this regard 

Look in the mirror

And look real hard.

Only then you’ll care

And make concessions

For life it will scare.

When applying its lessons

Many with some pain

Save your confessions.

For the criminally insane

You know yourself

Just use your brain.

For knowledge is wealth

The memories are here

No need for stealth.

Get your life in gear

Get off of your phone

Stop shedding your tears

Sabbatical out of your comfort zone

Challenge your every skill

Remember that you and you alone.

Can swallow the ‘red pill’

End all your strife

Using your sheer will.

Finally get a life

While you can

Find a new wife.

Lend a helping hand 

Share your mistakes

At will, your command.

Show that even when life breaks

And things go off unplanned

Doing all that it takes 

Only then, you’ll understand…
