a wall with paintings makes not a home
a loveless couple makes not a marriage
a feckless job makes not a career
yet we live this way oftentimes
barking out excuses for lack of change
blaming the years or the money
the weather, environment, or future
living comfortably is not life
taking care of pets is not love,
our faith guides us onward looking
for this life after death promise,
believing the rhetoric as if it were
the ultimate in honesty while
understanding the universal lie,
we accept the grind of life because
it's the only life we have, choosing
not to change the status quo since
no guarantees are offered and no
refunds on our lives are granted.
