Once I Thought, Twice I Understood Poem by Matt Starking

Once I thought
twice I understood
that my skin
will not do anything for me
unless I do something for myself
that my age
will not do anything for me
unless I do something for myself


Once I thought
twice I understood
that the errors of mankind
is his fall
so man needs to stand tall
to live upright
and do what is right


Once I thought
twice I understood
the past is a lesson for the future
so perfection forever
that success achieved with violence
is a failure
why not positivity
but negativity
always have love for your foes
for a man cannot lick his toes


Once I thought
twice I understood
the old does wrong
so is the young
the weak will die
so is the strong
there is the need
to love another
to be each others keeper
