Do It Now! Poem by Ted L Glines

Do it now!
by Ted L Glines

Stay as you are
and let things happen
or take a stand.
Your choice alone;
you can make things better
if you lend a hand.

Just let things alone
for a little more time
and they'll only get worse.
When helplessness rules
and nothing is done,
it's a downhill curse.

Let go the burden
that you don't need,
it's dragging you under.
Let it go now
and you'll feel the light
of happy wonder.

Push forward the good
and let go the bad;
do it this hour.
The sun will come up
on a brand new day
of positive power.

You can do this,
you can open your eyes
and make a vow
to do these things
to improve your life;
do it now...

Do it now!


Author's Notes: Maybe it is simple and trite, but it is the very simple solution to a life which is degrading (day by day) under the pressure of abusive relationships and eroding economics. Negative pressures will not simply go away (or get better) until you make positive moves in your own behalf.
