Don't Chase Shadows Poem by John Sensele

Don't feed negativity and live life under protest
Squandering precious time with neither rhyme nor reason
To chase shadows and pursue a failure quest.

When chagrin comes calling and challenges wear the vest
That manifests prospects of rank poison
Don't feed negativity and live life under protest.

When the going gets tough and the contest
For revival and survival of fortunes spell a doom season
Don't chase shadows and pursue a failure quest.

Under no circumstances should a slick strumpet
Dangle her carrot in your direction and parrot mouthings of treason.
Don't feed negativity and live life under protest.

Stare the future in the eye with confidence and reset
Your priorities and proclivities way from gates of a prison.
Don't feed negativity and live life under protest
Chasing shadows and pursuing a failure quest.
