Internal Law

Accidental Poet

 

A very long time ago

A young boy was I

Unsure of the road

There before my eyes

 

A road to the future

An unknown dance with time

But tread lightly boy

Take to heart every road sign

 

And some of those signs

May lead down a wrong turn

Read between the lines

Be careful of bridges you burn

 

For on some roads

You can’t turn back

No second chances

Because of knowledge you lack

 

As time waits for no one

Don’t miss the starting bell

Or your place in the future

Some opportunist will sell

 

Wishful thinking now

Advice from my future self

To know then what I know now

Confidence, my missing wealth

 

Why I couldn’t see

What everyone else saw

The road to the future

Is an internal law
