The Beings
Take your time and roll this dice.
a need at your convenience,
a drive only when you want focus and
a trail when the break fails.
not a SECOND CLASS CITIZEN.
We seek validation with proof but no willingness to try,
We pursue barrels that leak till our pots get empty,
We make haste at sunset but its almost dawn and we lose.
What do you want?
not a SECOND CLASS CITIZEN I guess.
We're all in guilt and our egos bruised, I'm not a saint but this is a clear proof that humans are self driven.
