Blood Equals Glory Poem by Alex Perez

No fear, no tears… no blood, no glory… no struggle, no story.
So what would the outlook of your life be if you didn't learn from the negative?
Do you think that you'll eventually grasp expression and use it as a sedative?
If you were to put tragic events in your life together in chronological order; could you put a border in the areas where you learned something positive you can use,
Like the don'ts and the do's… How to win; and to keep trying when you lose… I guess that's why you shouldn't refuse… To analyze and understand the things that set fire to your fuse.
That's what I do.
It makes sense to events from past tense into your present time view,
They are there to remind you; that karmas right behind you… Watching, waiting on your every move; just so it can grab you around the neck,
Because bad intentions tend to have that boomerang effect… and when it happens… pain will be there to collect.
That's why you should take things slow; for you learn as you go,
Experience can be the teacher that shows you the things you should know… remember the saying 'You reap what you sow'… Memorize then visualize and the wiser you'll grow.
Let that set inside your head instead of getting mislead,
Because it could save you from a lot of trouble and keep you from mistakenly winding up dead.
Don't be afraid… Just live your life the best way you can; whether you're a woman… Or a man,
Understand things won't always go according to plan.
Life is a struggle… Blood, sweat, and tears; but handle it with no fear.
Remember; blood equals glory,
If your life doesn't have a struggle… Then it doesn't have a story.
