dansalinger Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 The market goes up and the market goes down the sun will appear and the world will turn round your birthday will find you wherever you hide learn to embrace you’re feelings inside roll with the punches as best as you can explore what’s out yonder but stay on the plan accept what is offered and like what you got be open to change and smile a lot it is what you make it so play your best hand cause everyone’s dancing on a floor of quick sand ----------------------------------------- things look so different the older you get what once was important you want to forget life works to mold you like a bundle of clay adding more detail every day the more we take shape the harder to change what you see in the mirror you can’t pre-arrange life’s gonna happen sure as flies flock to shit don’t obsess over detail and don’t be a twit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callirhoe Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 excellent stuff and here for a moment after I read the title I though you were going to parody queen because of the title of said poem. this is a real cool conveyed message here.

Gatekeeper Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I always thought I should take some responsibility. That comes from a sense of community, in my book. But these days - where is the community? It looks to be in the mini-keyboards everyone is staring at. I think not. But I have to agree with these lines . . . "things look so different the older you get what once was important you want to forget" Quote from the black desert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Sounds like a mantra for survival: Most ordinary folk only have limited control over their lives and tend to make the best of circumstances. Like Gatekeeper I also picked out the lines: "things look so different the older you get what once was important you want to forget" Perhaps because most of my allocated time is behind me..
