Better Pasts

The day came and went

Sad tidings all that are left for thee

What an incomplete life you've spent

Siding with evil, quite mistakenly

---

The right things in life come at a great cost

Never knowing the truth of such mistakes

Running headlong into a world you'll be lost

Never taking heed, for stubborn man sakes

---

Forever, so distinct in side of your mind

Never again opening chance's door

Running toward something you never did find

Deeply wishing that you'd experienced more

---

A look around reveals

Such pains never known

Unto those watching, there were no deals

For you'd already tasted the paradise you were shown

---

Too short it was for mortal man

To lose the best of things

You've done all you can

Around you, life ran rings

From fiction to reality there’s tons to share about this crazy life. From being a single father, an officer, and having had many insane adventures while I learned about the world, my imagination runs wild with ideas.
